Monahans Sandhill state park is located in Ward and Winkler counties in Texas. The park features sand dunes up to 70 feet high that were created by wind blowing sand around the area. While the wind in the region is low, it has slowly built up the sand dunes over time through erosion and deposition processes. The park allows visitors to see large sand dunes formed through these natural geological actions.

Oil spills
The document discusses oil spill cleanup solutions. It describes the problem of oil spills from boats and drilling polluting the ocean and harming wildlife. Two proposed solutions are summarized:
1) A large clay sponge that could absorb gallons of spilled oil.
2) Attaching clay sponges to the edges of an existing grooved skimmer boat to absorb oil from the water surface during cleanup. The clay sponges would help the boat collect oil without harming ocean life.
Water pollution
This document discusses various solutions to water pollution. It notes that water pollution affects human health and can cause issues like acid rain. Current solutions discussed include using plants to filter sewage through the ground and preventing plastic from entering the oceans. One proposed solution involves pipes that send water through filtration and to treatment plants before returning cleaned water to the ocean. Another group's plan involves a boat that takes in polluted water, filters it through various chambers, and releases clean water back into the ocean.
Construction
This document discusses solutions to deforestation and habitat loss caused by cutting down trees. It proposes building structures that use living plants to naturally produce oxygen, while also providing housing and land for animals. The structures would have clear covers to allow sunlight and holes for watering the plants. Tubes would carry the oxygen produced by the plants outside to benefit both humans and animals. This aims to address the problems of reduced oxygen and loss of habitats from deforestation in a sustainable way.

As fishing and hunting became easier due to new technologies, one clever fisherman devised a system of property rights for fishing spots. However, this led to social problems as there was not enough space for all fishermen. Wealthy fish chiefs offered jobs to the propertyless but paid low wages, leaving workers' families without enough food. The tribe then implemented a tax system and government assistance to help the unemployed.
Kalil and natalia
The document summarizes how different objects reflect and refract light. It explains that a mirror reflects light because it is shiny, smooth and opaque, causing light to travel in a straight line. When light hits a prism, it refracts by bending as it passes through the prism and slows down. Water reflects above water by showing faces, and refracts under water by making objects look bent as light slows down when passing through it. A mirror reflects light due to its opaque and shiny surface, while a prism refracts light by allowing it to pass through and bend due to being translucent or transparent. Light always travels in straight lines and reflects or refracts at the same angle that it hits the surface.
Jaqui
The document discusses different types of light reflection and refraction. It explains that reflection occurs when light bounces off an opaque surface like a mirror. Refraction is described as light passing through a transparent medium, like water, and slowing down, which causes it to bend. It provides examples of reflection occurring when light bounces off a mountain into our eyes or bounces off a mirror at the same angle it hits it.
Earth, sun and moon qr codes
The sun is a medium-sized yellow star composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases that produces the energy sustaining life on Earth. It has a surface that changes over time with features like sunspots and solar flares. The moon has a surface of plains, mountains, valleys and craters that does not change or erode due to lacking an atmosphere and water. While the Earth shares similar surface features with the moon, it differs in having erosion, weathering, and geological activity that continuously alter its surface along with abundant water and a breathable atmosphere allowing life.
Activities how muchdoi-weigh
This document discusses how mass and weight differ, and how weight is affected by gravity. It explains that astronauts are weightless in space due to lack of gravity, but their mass remains the same. The document then provides a chart for students to calculate their weight on different planets and astronomical objects based on the object's gravity. It explains larger objects have stronger gravity and therefore people would weigh more on them.

Geotechnical engineers citlaly s
A geotechnical engineer studies different types of soil like bedrock, clay, sand, and topsoil. This is done because before constructing buildings, it is important to understand the soil conditions in order to determine if the ground is suitable.
The student created models with different soil layers to simulate earthquakes and observe how the soils reacted. Topsoil caused buildings to fall over quickly, while clay provided more stability and prevented quick collapse.
Bedrock provides the most stability and prevents building damage during earthquakes, but it is also the most expensive and difficult type of soil to dig and repair if damage does occur.
Presentation 9
This document discusses key aspects of rainforests, including soil type, erosion, climate, plants, animals, and other facts. The dominant soil type in rainforests is topsoil, which supports many plant species. Heavy rainfall of 250 inches per year causes water erosion. The warm, wet climate allows rainforests to remain above 25°C year-round and rain nearly every day. Animals like monkeys and scorpions have adapted to live in the forest canopy and floor. While rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth's land, deforestation has reduced that to only 6% today.
Presentation 3
Geotechnical engineers test soil samples to ensure skyscrapers remain stable during earthquakes. Models of skyscraper foundations represent how they are built with pier foundations, though shaking models is not the same as real earthquakes. Tests found topsoil, sand, and clay were unstable during simulated quakes, while bedrock remained stable, though bedrock requires deep digging and is costly to access and repair if needed. Pier foundations help stabilize skyscrapers by extending deep into soil layers, preventing collapse during earthquakes. Bedrock is the recommended soil layer despite the challenges, as it ensures structures will not fall or need rebuilding.
Zachary
This document outlines a student's design of two solar ovens using different materials. The first design used sand, felt and dark cloth and had a total impact score of 6 but a low maximum temperature. The second design replaced the sand with additional felt and sheared the cloth, achieving a higher maximum temperature and total score of -2. Testing results are provided for both designs. Reflections note the improved design worked better and suggest further replacing the cloth with newspaper to lower the impact score.
Jaxon holt designing a solar oven
This document describes a student's design of two solar ovens and the testing process. For the first design, materials included felt, cloth and sand. Testing showed the oven only reached 49.4°C. For the second design, materials were changed to flat felt and shredded cloth. Testing showed this oven reached a higher temperature of 43.2°C but cooled quickly in the shade. The student concluded that better insulation was needed to retain heat for a longer period of time.
Lesly alvarado
This document describes a student's process of designing and testing two solar oven designs. The first design used white cloth, foam, and felt and scored 11 points total. It kept heat in well but the white cloth did not absorb heat well. The second design used dark cloth, foam, and felt, scoring 8 points for materials and 2 total points. It absorbed heat better but did not insulate well as the temperature dropped quickly in the shade. Overall, the first design worked better despite the white cloth not absorbing heat as it kept more heat in, showing insulation is important for a solar oven.
Evelyn rojas design a solar oven
1) The document describes two designs for a solar oven created by students. Design 1 uses cotton balls, foam, and sand to trap heat, while Design 2 uses sand and aluminum foil.
2) The students test both designs, recording the temperature in the ovens over time when placed in sunlight. Design 1 reached a maximum temperature of 55.6°C after 25 minutes, while Design 2 only reached 31.8°C.
3) Based on the testing results, the students determine that Design 1 performed better because it was better able to retain heat using insulating materials like cotton and foam. They conclude that to improve Design 2, it would need more insulating materials to trap more heat.
Eli gossett
Eli Gossett designed two solar oven prototypes. The first prototype used dark cloth on the bottom and cotton balls on the sides, achieving a maximum temperature of 56°C but cooling down within 4 minutes. The second prototype used black and colored foam insulation with felt on the bottom, reaching a higher maximum of 40.4°C but also cooling quickly. Neither design performed as well as hoped. Eli plans to improve the design by using newspaper on the sides and bottom for better heat retention.
Hayden
1) The document describes two designs for a solar oven created by a student named Hayden. Design 1 used cotton balls and black cloth, while Design 2 used felt, colored foam, and black foam.
2) Both designs were tested in the sun and shade, recording temperature over time. Design 1 scored -4 overall while Design 2 scored -7.
3) For the next iteration, Hayden proposes using newspaper for insulation instead of the foams, keeping the red felt, in order to better contain the heat in the oven.
Prithvi solar oven
This document describes two designs for a solar oven. Design 1 uses dark cloth and cotton balls, scoring 9 points. Testing showed it reached 55°C but cooled quickly. Design 2 uses felt, colored foam, and black foam, scoring 10 points. Testing showed it reached only 40°C and also cooled quickly. The reflection notes that insulating materials like felt and foam work best when shredded and covering more surface area inside the oven.
Diego garcia
This document describes Diego's process of designing and testing two solar oven prototypes. The first prototype used shredded white cloth and foam for insulation, achieving a maximum temperature of 73°C and score of 15 points. The second prototype replaced the cloth with sand, which was not an effective insulator as the temperature only reached 39°C, resulting in a lower score of 1 point. Diego reflected that using better insulating materials like foam pipes could improve the design.
Jaxon r

3) Based on the temperature measurements and impact scores of the materials, the first design performed better with a total score of 15 points compared to -11 points for the second design. The student reflected that sand was not an effective insulator.
Jayce oven
This document describes a student's process of designing and testing two solar oven prototypes. The first design used shredded white cloth and foam for insulation, reaching an internal temperature of 73°C. The second design replaced the foam with sand, but did not perform as well, only reaching 39.1°C. Based on the temperature results, the student determined that cloth was a better insulator than sand and planned to improve the design by using cloth again.
Trey
This document describes a student's process of designing and testing two solar oven designs. The first design used white cloth and foam as insulating materials. It reached a maximum temperature of 73.4°C during testing but did not retain heat well in the shade. The second design replaced the cloth with sand, but temperatures only reached 37.4°C and cooled faster than the first design. In reflection, the student determined that the original cloth and foam were better insulating materials than the sand.
Mateo vesce

Lacie monahans sand state park
- 1. Monahans Sandhill state park By: Lacie McPherson
- 2. This is a map of my location. I circled it. This is located in ward county and winkler county. The state it is in is Texas.
- 3. My geological feature is monahans Sandhills state park. The monahans Sandhills state park has sand dunes up to 70.ft high! The wind blow in monahans Sandhill state park is very low which means not as much sand dunes are created.
- 4. I predict this is erosion because the sand dune is This is a picture of some sand getting blown away by the dunes in monahans Sandhill state wind. I also think its park. Monahans Sandhill state deposition because the sand park is a location where you can dunes are piling up. see Sand dunes everywhere! The monahans sand dunes were created because of the wind blowing. The sand around it creates more sand dunes. That is why there is so many sand dunes.
- 5. This is what some of the sand dunes look like on Monahans Sandhills state park. I would create a model of my geological feature and I would get some sand and put it in a pile,get a fan and blow it a little to represent what is going on in the Monahans sandhill state park. I think it is a slow process to make these sand dunes because there is not a lot of wind at Monahans Sandhill state park to make that much sand dunes in 1 or 2 days.
