Reflection/Synthesis Questions:

1. What did you learn while reading this book?
2. How did the person change the world? / What affect did this person have on other people?
3. How can this inspire YOU to help others?

Answers: 

1. I learned that Ruby was young when her family moved.
2. Ruby changed the world because she was the first African American girl to go to an all white school. She was also with 3 other girls who went to a different white school then Ruby and they were also black. Ruby had to go to the all white school being the only African American there. The affect that Ruby made on other people were that the white people did not want Ruby to go to the school so they took there kids out of school. It did help the African Americans out there because they knew that Ruby would solve the problem of African Americans not being able to go to a white school.
3. It can inspire me to help others by standing up for what you believe in. It does not matter if you are different if you were not different you would not be normal.
   

Reflect & Synthesize:
Answer the following questions in your blog post. Remember to have at least one follow-up sentence for each question, when possible.

1. What do living things get from their ecosystems?
2. What evidence do you have to support your answer to Question 1?
3. What does the term ecosystem mean, based on your experience in this lesson? (Don't use the definition from the BIG IDEA here. Put it into your own words.)
4. Brainstorm at least one question you have about Ecosystems that you hope you learn from this unit.
5. Look at the image below that shows a portion of a forest ecosystem. Name at least five components (living or non-living things) of the ecosystem that you can either observe directly or infer. 
6. What are three (or more) interactions that might occur in this portion of the forest ecosystem?

Answers:

1. They get their food and energy.
2. Mr. Solarz said so and I also researched and 4 websites said that.
3. It means the enviorment that living things live in.
4. Why is it called an ecosystem? 
5. I can infer that they live in the woods. They live in a lake, they are living things, they eat fish, and they like water.
6. The deer would eat berries and the berries are from the sun and get their energy from the sun.

 I am Valentina Hill and I will be talking about the first week of space. The take off was a bumpy and heart racing experience. Everyone was a little scared and we all heard 3... 2... 1...  The lights were going on and off. Some of us were waving and others were smiling at each other. It took thirty six  seconds to get to space. Once we got to space, some of us looked out the window. The moon is such a beautiful thing because it looks like a white glowing place in space, I was thinking in my head.

​      Now its day two in space. Anti-Gravity is so much fun to experiment with and seeing your fellow astronauts flying in space! It will take time to get used to this but it is such a dream. The space suits are comfortable but it took time to get used to it. It got bumpy sometimes.

​  Now it is the 3 day and it is dark outside (like always). When you look out the window you will always see a star or a planet. Well its been a week now and we all have gotten used to the space ship and our surroundings. Six months till Mars! That might be a while but when we are having fun it will go by fast. We saw Orion and it was bright. We also saw Mercury! Mercury looked kind of like the Moon. I'm tired because it's not that comfortable and sometimes you get home sick or sick. It is really cool because I kept doing summer salts and I never got dizzy! I knew this would not be easy but it is fun especially with people you know on this trip.

​  My Job has been hard and everyone might die if I make a mistake because my job is a Atmosphere/Weather/Oxygen/Ventilation/Pollution/Air/Dust specialist. I brought earrings which are 1 pound, a book which is 2 pounds, drawing supplies which are 10 pounds, toiletree which is 5 pound's and warm socks which are 2 pounds. 

Ok Calvin thx.
