How to write a Discussion
The discussion section is probably the most difficult and challenging to write because you have to think carefully about
- the specific results you obtained in your experiment,
- relate them to the testable question
- interpret them: explain them
- and generalize from them: make a general conclusion about your project based on your data.
In this way you relate your own results to the store of scientific knowledge
Stage 1 | Relate your results to the aims of the experiment. |
---|---|
Stage 2 | Summarise your results (can combine with Stage 1). |
Stage 3 | Explain your results. Discuss the validity and accuracy of your results. Explain inconsistent or unexpected results. |
Stage 4 | Identify problems in experimental technique and suggest improvements (can combine with Stage 3). |
Stage 5 | State the significance or implications of your experimental findings and recommend areas of future research. |

Introduction
Throwing and catching a ball is something you might easily do with a friend, without giving it much thought. You just "know" how to move your arms, hands, and fingers to throw and catch. Can you imagine building a machine to throw a ball instead? How would it know to throw the ball a certain distance? How could another machine catch the ball without dropping it? This project provides a fun engineering challenge: use common materials to build a "launcher" to throw the ball and a "receiver" to catch it. Figure 1 shows some example devices.
Figure 1. Different designs for launching (left) and receiving devices (right).
This challenge gives you the opportunity to explore some interesting topics in physics and engineering. Rather than explaining each of these topics in detail, this background section will give you a brief overview of each one, and then you can do more research using the links in the bibliography. If you are doing this project for a science fair, do not worry about learning about all of these topics. Choose one or two to learn about in more detail. The bibliography has websites to jump-start your learning.
First, this is a great opportunity to learn about simple machines, like the lever or the inclined plane. You can also investigate more complex machines, like catapults, trebuchets, or slingshots, that are used to launch projectiles. Think about how you could incorporate different aspects of these machines into your design.
You can also use this project to learn about projectile motion. How do the initial velocity (starting speed) and launch angle (angle at which an object leaves the launcher) of a projectile affect its range (distance it travels)? What trajectory (path through the air) will make it easier to catch the ball? A high, steep trajectory or a low, shallow trajectory?
You can also use this project to learn about energy. The ball needs kinetic energy, the energy of motion, in order to fly through the air. Where will that energy come from? It could come from elastic potential energy, the energy stored in a stretched material, like a rubber band. It could come from gravitational potential energy, the energy stored in an object that is raised up off the ground. Or, the energy could come from work that you do with your hand by exerting a force. How could your machine convert one form of energy to another?
Finally, you can use this project to demonstrate the engineering design process. You will probably not think of an idea for a machine, sit down and build it, and have it work perfectly on the first try. You might need to come up with multiple designs, test more than one of them, and modify the designs to improve them. This is OK—real engineers rarely get things right on the first try!

Questions for 12.12.16
On Tuesday, you will be constructing your final explanatory models for the puzzling phenomenon:
“Why have polar ice caps melted so drastically in the last few decades?”
In order to better prepare you, I have developed some questions you should answer that will help guide your model on Tuesday.
- What are polar ice caps? What has happened in the last 40 years with regards to the polar ice sheets in the North Pole?
- How many watts does the sun give off onto Earth?
- Does all the sunlight shine evenly on Earth? Explain WHY or WHY NOT.
- Why are areas on the equator of the earth the hottest? (Draw a DIAGRAM)
- What is albedo?
- Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
“Sean says that because of the earth’s albedo, the earth is able to give off excess heat and thus stay at cool temperatures.”
“Meghan says that because of the earth’s albedo, the earth gains too much heat and thus heats the warm up to extremely hot temperatures. “
Who do you agree with? (CLAIM)

Cycle 3 Vocabulary
Cycle 3 Vocabulary
Thermal Energy: Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.
Convection: the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
Conduction:the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
Radiation: the transmitting or movement of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.
Power:supply (a device) with mechanical or electrical energy.
Watt: A unit of power in the International System of Units equal to one joule per second
Greenhouse Gas:a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.
Ozone layer: a layer in the earth's stratosphere at an altitude of about 6.2 miles (10 km) containing a high concentration of ozone, which absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth from the sun.
Albedo: The reflection of sun's rays from earth back into the atmosphere
Solar Irradiation: The solar irradiance is the output of light energy from the entire disk of the Sun, measured at the Earth
Carbon Dioxide: Carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas vital to life on Earth. This naturally occurring chemical compound is made up of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms
11.14.16; Read this article and answer the questions in your notebook below. No need to copy the question.
Mount Pinatubo and the Ring of Fire On July 16, 1990, a large earthquake struck Luzon, an island in the Philippines. The earthquake devastated cities for hundreds of miles around, and killed more than 1,600 people. Yet the destruction was not over. Two weeks later, residents of Luzon discovered steam coming out of a volcano called Mount Pinatubo. But when scientists inspected the volcano, they did not find any evidence the volcano would erupt. However, on March 15, 1991, villagers on the northwestern side of the island were startled by a series of earthquakes. The earthquakes continued until two weeks later, when Mt. Pinatubo began to rumble. On April 2, the mountain sent an explosion ofsteam, water, ash, and rock into the air.
Over the next several weeks, it continued to belch volcanic ash into the air. Scientists detected increased levels of carbon dioxide, a sign that hot liquid magma was nearing the surface. By June 7, a dome of lava 130 feet high and 660 feet across had formed on the surface of the volcano. Five days later, the volcano erupted. Hot volcanic ash rose about 20 miles into the air. An ash cloud of almost 50,000 square miles blanketed the island in darkness. The summit of the volcano was blown off, replaced by a new hole 1.6 miles wide. 847 people in surrounding communities died, most of them when their roofs, buckling under the weight of wet ash, collapsed. Geologists would later rank the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo as the second‐largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.
While scientists have never determined whether the earthquake in 1990 directly caused the volcanic eruption a year later, the two events are generally considered to be related. Although it’s difficult to predict when or where an earthquake or a volcanic eruption will strike, these events can occur in patterns. Mt. Pinatubo is located on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe‐shaped zone characterized by earthquakes and more than 450 volcanoes. It is 25,000 miles long and runs roughly along the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
The Ring of Fire begins on the southern edge of South America, runs north along the western coast of the Americas, cuts across the southern edge of Alaska, and down the eastern edge of Eurasia before culminating in a series of deep trenches, several thousand miles off the coast of Australia. Seventy‐five percent of the world’s active volcanoes are located on this ring, and almost 90% of the world’s earthquakes happen there. Mount Pinatubo and the Ring of Fire 2 © 2013 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. The reason why so many earthquakes and volcanoes occur here has to do with plate tectonics. On the surface of the earth is a patchwork of enormous plates, atop which all geographic features—seas, oceans, fields, mountain ranges—sit. These plates are in constant motion, although they move very slowly—under six inches per year. These plates separate, collide, orslip past each other along their boundaries.
These movements are referred to as plate tectonics. Massive events, such as earthquakes and volcano eruptions, can occur along plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur in areas often close to plate boundaries. Areas that are in the middle of the plates generally do not suffer from these same forces. This is why there are earthquakes in San Francisco, which is close to where two plates slide past each other, and usually not in Chicago, a thousand miles from any plate boundary. Similarly, volcanoes tend to form near plate boundaries where the movement of the earth’s plates creates vents, which are openings on the earth’s surface. Magma, liquid rock located below the earth’s surface, can rise toward the surface of the earth and erupt out of volcanoes.
The island of Luzon, where Mt. Pinatubo erupted, is near a location where a sea plate has been sliding under a continental plate. The location of mountain rangesis also closely linked to the activity of plates. The collision of two continental plates has formed Earth’s tallest mountain ranges on land, such as the Himalayas. These mountain chains are essentially crumpled up parts of continental plates, formed when two continental plates push against each other. Deep ocean trenches, such as the Mariana Trench of the Pacific Ocean, can also form along plate boundaries. The Mariana Trench reaches almost seven miles down. If you look on a detailed map, one that includes physical features, such as mountain ranges and trenches, you will begin to see patterns. You may even be able to guess where some of the giant continental plates are located.
Answer questions in notebook:
1. What happened in 1990 and 1991 on the island of Luzon?
2. What does this passage describe happened?
3. Most earthquakes occur in areas close to where tectonic plates meet. There are earthquakes in San. Francisco. What can you conclude from this information?
4. Why might the 1990 earthquake and 1991 volcanic eruption in Luzon be related.
5. What is the ring of fire?
6. Why do so many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur around the Ring of Fire?
7. The passage stated that "while scientists have never determined whether the earthquake in 1990 directly caused volcanic eruptions a year later, the two are generally considered to be related.
What evidence from the passage supports this argument that earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were probably related?
8. Use google to identify 3 other volcanos on the path of the Ring of Fire and list them here.

Vocabulary Words (15)
· Converging plates: when two continental plates are moving towards each other.
· continental crust: created by plate tectonics, this outermost layer of earth is made up of different types of granites; the thickest parts of the continental crust make up some of the world’s tallest mountain ranges.
· theory of plate tectonics and continental drift: Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called thelithosphere.
· Pangea: in early geologic time, this was a “supercontinent” that consisted of almost all the landmasses present on earth. It was surrounded by ocean.
· Convection: heat transfer that is caused by the motion of a fluid.
· Kinetic energy: energy that describes the motion of objects.
· thermal energy: energy that describes the stored heat or heat loss of objects.
· convection currents: currents move a gas or a fluid from one place to another and are created when there are differences in density or temperature within that gas or fluid.
· convergent boundary: Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
· Subduction: when two lithospheric plates come together, one riding over the other.
· Density: how compact a substance is; measured in grams/millilliter
· subduction zone: the part of the earth’s crust where tectonic plates meet.
· Trenches: deepest parts of the ocean floor
· divergent boundary: a place where plates are moving away from one another; contribute to seafloor spreading.
· hot spots: an area in the earth’s mantle where magma rises and melts through the earth’s crust causing a volcano to erupt.
