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.

Final Assessment
Rock Cycle
1. How does a Metamorphic rock become a Sedimentary rock?
2. How does Magma change into a Metamorphic rock?
1. Metamorphic Rock becomes a Sedimentary by weathering, then sediments, then erosion, compaction, last it becomes a Sedimentary rock.
2. Magma changes into Metamorphic Rock by process of cooling and crystallization, then it forms Igneous rock, then heat and pressure, last it it becomes a Metamorphic rock.
Carbon Cycle
1. How does a consumer become a fossil fuel?
2.How can a fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
1. Consumer become a fossil fuel by when consumer dies, Decomposers breaks it down, after millions of years it becomes a fossil fuel (Coal and it's also Sedimentary rock).
2. Fossil fuel can be used in photosynthesis by CO2 Emissions, then consumption(burning) then CO2, producers absorb, then last photosynthesis.
Water Cycle
1. How does water (liquid) turn into a cloud?
2. How can a cloud turn into groundwater?
1.Water turns into a cloud by first sunlight, evaporation/transpiration, then it turns into water vapor, then condensation, finally it all forms a cloud.
2. Cloud can turn into groundwater by precipitation, run-off, infiltration and finally groundwater.

Reflection
Questions
1. What did you enjoy most about this project? Why?
2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain
Answers
1. I really enjoyed creating Carbon Cycle with clay, because it was fun to show how clay can describe the cycle.
2. Most challenging part for me was to create movie on IMovie, because It's hard for me to work on IMovie, and I don't like to use IMovie.
3. I've learned to describe each process of Carbon Cycle with clay, and with my group we tried to be really creative about each process of our cycle.
4. I would improve my movie because I found 2 mistakes there, and some words were misspelled there, also I placed one vocabulary word in wrong picture, and I would really like to fix them. It was hard for me to work on IMovie, and also include all the vocabulary words, but I tried my best.

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.
