During the past 2 and a half months my class and I have studied the inner earth, concectoon currents, trocks and minerals, and earths crust. The last sections of this unit that we have studied was rocks and minerals. For this section we beggined with minerals, my class and I have made a crystal garden indevidually and "planted" crystals in our "garden". Afterwards we have reaserched more about minerals and rocks, we have reaserched how does a mineral form what are its charecteristics. I have learned that a mineral is a naturally occuring solid which its charecteristics are: it needs to have clevage, color, luster, chemical formuls, streak, and transperency; for minerals you could use also SNIFC which stands for
Solid
Naturally occuring
Inorganic
Fixed composition
Crystalinized structure.
During this section of our MYP program we have discussed some questions like who owns the sea, who owns the seas and the minerals in the sea
My group have disscussed and we have came to a conclusion that everybody owns the seas but nobody owns the sea, why. Because enybody can just come and claim the sea for his self. our group propozal was
The Oceans are for everyone and the main minerals from the Oceans are
salt. Any country that is neighbored by the sea should get a profit
from it. But also, every country has to have some sort of resource and
not everyone needs to have water even thought its essential. Trading
is the main point that will give these countries their water and they
can benefit from, other natural resources and trade those. In our
opinion, there should be mining happening because it is one of the
jobs that keeps humans alive and like there is the: if you kill one
tree you seed 2 more, and if u mine a place, you have to plant other
trees and once you finish mining you have to bri9ng the place to the
original look. Bring the animals in and make sure everything is the
same as before.
Thus we need to share the oceans and seas and the goods in it.
Here are some questions that we got for the end of this unit exploration
What have you learned that will help you give your thoughts to this question?
Why do you think the Area of Interaction of the unit was: Environments. Does it fit? Explain.
It fits because we have learned about properties of earth like minerals and gems mining and plate tectonics and convection currents all these things and topics fit this area of interaction
How do you feel you did during this unit and the activities you took part in?
During this unit i was very interested in to this unit and i was very active
Did you learn any new skills or knowledge that you did not know before?
During this unit i learned a great deal and i learned how to study and how to disscuss in groups calmly
What did you find interesting?
much information and ineresting information
What was your favorite and/or least favorite part?
testing and writting blogposts
What would you add or change about this unit for next year's grade 6
students
i would decrease the number vof blogposts for writing and make more disussions

Luka, I like your idea that if you build a mine you have to plant things to replace it. I also think it's a great idea that they would have to return the mine to its original condition.
