How are the rock, carbon, water cycles connected to the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere?
Hydrosphere-water; lakes, oceans, sea, bay. Rock cycle is about formation of rocks and breaking it down, how one rock can turn into another. Rock Cycle connected to Hydrosphere by weathering breaks rock, erosion, water moves sediments, then crystallization happens, then cooling and lava goes to ocean. Carbon Cycle is connected to Hydrosphere by Plants take water from underground and by process of photosynthesis which means releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.Water Cycle=Hydrosphere
Lithosphere- soil, ground. Rock cycle works with Lithosphere by rocks can be found underground. Heat and pressure create a Metamorphic rock, than melting changes into Magma which happens in underground. Carbon Cycle works with Lithosphere by when consumer dies, it's remains goes to underground and becomes a fossil fuel, and after millions of years forms as a coal, or oil. Water Cycle works with Lithosphere by groundwater, because water comes from underground.
Atmosphere-air, gas. Water Cycle is connected to Atmosphere by heat of the water as a water vapor goes up and forms a cloud by process of condensation. Rock cycle is connected to Atmosphere by the process of weathering, and weathering breaks rocks into sediments, and process erosion moves them; Also Rock cycle is connected by when magma or lava erupt from volcano, they release CO2 into the Atmosphere. Carbon Cycle is connected to Atmosphere when a producer absorbs CO2, in order to release O2 into the air.
Biosphere- Living thing. Water Cycle is connected to Biosphere by plant uptake, because plants are living things. Carbon Cycle is connected to Biosphere by producer, which is a tree, consumer, decomposers. Rock Cycle works with Biosphere by when Magma/ Lava releases CO2 into Atmosphere, producer absorbs it and turns it to O2.
All Cycles are connected by Sunlight except Rock Cycle, other cycles like Carbon, Water will work if there's sunlight, because they absorb energy from the sun. Carbon and Rock cycles are connected by in Carbon when consumer dies, it becomes a fossil fuel which over the year turns into sedimentary rock. Water and Rock cycles are connected by weathering, by weathering breaks rocks into sediments, and its formed in both, in Water, and Rock cycle.

Carbon Cycle Essay
Carbon Cycle
In the atmosphere, Carbon is connected to some oxygen in a gas form called Carbon dioxide. The Carbon Cycle is how carbon in all different from another forms moves between plants, animals, the oceans, and the atmosphere, even rocks. Carbon is an element that found all over the world and every living thing have a carbon. Carbon is really important to living things.
Oxygen is another element that’s in the air that we breathe. When carbon and oxygen are together, they form colorless gas called Carbon dioxide. When we burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas, or even when we drive a car, or using electricity, we are producing carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide goes to atmosphere. When it’s in atmosphere, plants can take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food, this kind of plants are called the producers, and their process is called photosynthesis. In this process, carbon becomes part of the plant, and plant releases oxygen. When plants die and are buried under layers of earth for million years, they become fossil fuel, like a coal and natural gas. By burning fossil fuels people are adding carbon to the atmosphere, that’s why the amount of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is increasing, which is causing global climate change.
Carbon which is in atmosphere later transfers to animals that are consumers who are the one’s that are eating another animal for food. When plants and animals die, the CO2 is released to atmosphere as the organism decompose or breaking down. For example: Mushrooms and fungi’s are decomposers because they grow out of dead plants and animals.
Some animals like lion, tiger, etc are the non-photosynthetic creatures of the planet, which means that they are not able to create their own food, and instead they eat plants or other animals. Using the energy of the sun, plants make sugars. Every living thing , every creature on the planet uses sugars and starches created by plants. The sugars and starches that animals eat are broken down by a process metabolism. The results are energy, water, and carbon dioxide molecule.
As the people releasing too much more carbon into the atmosphere, scientists believe that the it’s a part of causing earth to warm up. In fact, ice cores like glacier show us that there’s now more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there has been in the last 420,000 years.

Sleep and Learning reflection.
1. How does sleep effect your learning?
2. How much sleep do you get each night? Do you think this is enough? Do you feel tired in the morning?
3. Will you change what you do after reading about sleep and learning? Why or why not?
1. Sleep affects our learning by many ways, for example: if students don't get to sleep 9-10 hours, next day in school our brain would not be able to concentrate on everything and within this it will affect to our grades.
2. Each night I get 8-9 hours sleep. I think it's not enough because based on what I learned students must get 9-10 hours sleep. Sometimes in the mornings I feel tired and frustrating but at the same time I try to concentrate on my work.
3. After learning about sleep and learning, I will try to do my all hw's and works on the time so I can finish earlier and get 9-10 hours of sleeping because it's very important, even for grades.

Energy Drink Reflection
1) What's your opinion about energy drinks?
-I think energy drinks are very bad for people because they contain caffeine. Caffeine raises heart rate and blood pressure, it also stimulates central nervous system. The effects of caffeine are: sleeplessness, headache, and most commonly jitters, which means feeling extreme nervousness. Energy drinks gives us negative health effects. Once you will get use to energy drinks, it will be really hard to stop yourself from drinking it.
2) What's an opposing argument than the one that you have been presented with? What would the drink makers say about this?
-On the contrary, some people think that energy drinks makes you energetic and helps you to be strong. In one day 200 to 300 mg caffeine is normal. Some people think that caffeine is good for your heart, it's good for heart but "energy drinks" contain more than 200 to 300 mg caffeine. In energy drinks there's more caffeine than in other drinks.
-Drink makes would say: This energy drinks are amazing, they will make you feel active, dynamic, strong in few seconds. They are like magic pills.
3) Will you drink them? Why or Why not?
-No, I would not drink it because it gives negative health effects. I think each individual should take care about his/her health and before you drink or eat something, first know how the product is going to affect to your health.
