Researching Information

The definition of argument is a statement supporting the claim a reason. The definition of counterargument is a set of reasons put forward to oppose an idea. The definition of research to me is when you want to learn more about something you look it up. These concepts are important to know because you will have to convince the reader and support. My sources will be believable because they will be written by officials.

Researching Information

An argument is when you're going back and fourth giving each of your opinions, For example, if I say something of mine is better than yours and you say yours is better that is an argument. A counterargument is when you are more persuasive and you give more information to back up your statement/argument.

Argument and Counterargument are important in our class because we need to know how to make a point and be able to back it up with the information that we have learned.

The word research means to me that you have to go out in a place that you might not know and research meaning look for stuff you might not know and learn about it.

You can know if a source is credible if you research more on it and find certain sources to back up your argument, you can easily find a credible source if you look into it just a little bit further.

Researching Info

Counterargument and argument are two factors in proving what you are doing and show that your research is actually good and makes since; it can convince others to believe what you say. When using an argument, you are trying to prove that what you looked into is cool and how. Counterargument can be used in persuasion if someone tries to attack your subject, you can protect it with showing what they say is false and proving why. It can also add some valuable info about the subject and support what you are talking about.
If you were to present any info about your favorite subject, you can look at multiple online sources and/or books to support your subject because there wouldn't be any scientific proof about it and people wouldn't believe it. (if you are gonna do it, write pieces of it that interest you and might interest others and write in your own words. Otherwise, it'd be plagiarism, as you'd be taking something off the internet and calling it your own, which isn't your work) You'd also have info to show to others and interest them more in what you are interested. Doing this shows how much to like the subject, but not just informing others about it, enthusiasm is also something that adds a kick or sense of excitement. Using the perfectly normal amount is recommended, as using too little can make you sound like you are not interested in it and too much makes you sound very excited for it, but it's gonna make it awkward at the end after being so ecstatic over it. So that's why you need to be calm for your subject.

Research information

An argument is someone trying to prove someone wrong or arguing that something you think is right. A counter argument is a set of reasons put forth to an idea or thought that you believe in. These concepts are important in this PBL because you need to argue on what is right and what is wrong to find out what is actually right, then you need to know what counter argument is because we need ideas and thoughts on things so others can understand what you are learning about. Research means you are looking into something in depth and could also be an investigation on a person place or thing. How to know if a source is credible is you can have direct evidence or if it is online a date an author that helps or someone who already knows the facts.

Researching Information

Argument means that you are trying to make a point or want something to go in your favor. This can be with getting a grade on your schoolwork, having your mom buy you something, or want to go hang out at a friends house. Even when you need to convince your teacher, mom, or whoever it is to do what you want them to do for you. A counterargument is when you are opposing the first argument to make it not true. They are important when reaching the Salado people because maybe they moved because not enough water but someone else could say that it was something different. Research to me is anything that you had to look up, read about, or look into in order to learn about that topic. When I am looking at a credible source if it has an author, sounds intelligent, and if they know what they are talking about the subject.

PBL #4

An argument is a diverging of two different peoples pinion normally raising their voices and angry. A counterargument is a theory you have found after an argument. It is important to know because people have different opinions and maybe you will be prepared and not argue. Also it may help you to not raise your voice don´t raise your voice while doing so. Research is kind of like homework you need to find facts on the thing you are studying. You can tell that a source is correct by who wrote about it and maybe look at multiple sources to see if they are the same.

The great mystery

The great mystery tells about the Native Americans in Arizona after the ice age.Salado and the Sinagua live in the tonto basin region.The Mogollon lived in New Mexico,Mexico, and Arizona. They traded pottery with Mexico.Hohokam in south-central Arizona, and the Patayan in the western desert basin.
  

Field Day

     First, we went to the visitor center and saw amazing creatures such as a mountain lion, badger, squirrel, bobcat, and a javelina. The ranch was cool to see how ranchers move the cows to different areas at different times and how they separate a yearling cow from its mom. The dam tunnel was cool but devastating because I could not go into the tunnel. It was cool to learn that they had made the damn out of rock not all cement and to see pictures of the dam back the. The eagle's nest was probably my favorite part of the whole trip just to see and study this beautiful creature and watch the eagles translate their feeding times. The riparian area was cool because the hike down there and to listen to the bird's chirp and measure the height of a tree.
     I would love to study more about how the Salado people hunted animals back then. The reason I want to research how they hunted is because nowadays we can shoot animals from 1400 yards away and they wouldn't even know what happened. But back then these people would stalk up and get right under these monstrous creatures and risk there lives just to feed their family.

Field day

For a new experience, we went on a field trip to learn about some more things down at the national park area. When we arrived at our first stop, which was the Roosevelt Lake Visitor center, We went inside to see the animals in the area, the fish, and the birds there. There was also schematics of the dam and how to get to the top and what is what around it. We were brought outside to learn about the animals in the area and how they work in the land. We were informed about Civil engineering, in which was how they made the dam, roads, barriers, and other man-made buildings and structures today.
Next, we went to an area with lots of cattle, in which all were baby cows all in one area. While there, I saw that the cows were apparently moved from where the adult cows are to that area, and so that when the cows were there in the area, they were taken care of without the parents having to be there. But when I heard that getting resources for the cow took some work to get, I was astonished to hear that they got resources from the lake and natural grasses and greens to feed them, so that got me thinking about it. A bit too much though that the rest was sort of a blur to me.
Then we went to the dam tunnel, in which it was a short tunnel that took apparently a while to make. To make it, they had a process in which they blow out a hole with dynamite and other materials, then had to hold it up as they created the structure all around. I saw that there was gates on the rocks, o I asked why it was there. And as I assumed, it was to hold up the rocks so they wouldn't fall and hit someone. After that, we went to a viewpoint to see the dam and when I saw it, I honestly was amazed how big it was and it's structure and as well as the past to it. Apparently, it was made out of rocks and other sturdy material, but was thought to be unstable, so they built it with concrete. A. lot. of concrete. I also got a core sample of the dam, and I was very excited for it. The dam got me more interested in it and it's systems, like the discharge of the dam, where they exert water from an overflow or problem.
Next, we observed the Eagle's nest It took me a while to find it, then we learned about their condition, in which they weren't doing too good. However, that is why they are protecting the eagles. (Sadly, I didn't get the last one because I was sick, so I wasn't able to focus properly. It wasn't fun for that end)

Out of this whole trip, the thing I would look mostly into is the medicine in plants and other medical studies of plants and herb and their amazing uses. It's incredible to hear that they used plants to help them get through sickness, diseases, and staying alert. And yes, by awake I mean that they use plants for coffee and tea, which was astonishing, so I'd love to see how they did it and what tools they used to make it. I assume that they had to cook it with water or infuse it with the liquid they want to make a certain medicine or caffeine. So yeah, I would love to learn more about their medicine and hopefully it will come in handy in some scenario. For example, it would be useful and very amazing to know about in the wild, for I would have help knowing how to use the plants and what the right plant for it is.

Field Day

We all went to the Visitors Center, the ranch, the dam tunnel, the dam, the eagle's nest, and the natural riparian area.
My favorite part of the trip was going to the eagle's nest and seeing the eagle sitting there and while we were all standing there the other eagle came into swap place so the one that was out and feeding came in the swap with the one that was sitting on the eggs and keeping them warm and safe but I also liked looking through the telescope because that was the first time I've ever looked through one, I was so nervous and scared that I was going to mess it up or move it accidentally, I've never seen anything like that before that was my first time seeing an eagle at all.
My other favorite part was going to the ranch and watching the cattle and having one come up to me and lick me I thought was really cool because their tongues are really rough kinda like a cat's tongue and it felt weird, but I liked petting them and being around them.
I would like to go more in depth in learning about the animals and land honestly, I would like to go more in depth with all of it I loved it all.
Learning about everything was really nice because I'm not one for history (I'm sorry Ted).
History definitely isn't my strong suit but that's only because I wasn't really taught about it but I think now that I'm learning it more, It's getting even more interesting and I like it, It's not so much learning about the past but seeing all the different cultures and seeing how they lived and stuff like that. Going up in the cliff dwelling was probably the most amazing thing out of the whole entire couple trips, I liked looking up in there and looking in the different rooms and learning something different about every room, every room had a different story like something would always be interesting about it and each time the story got better and better.

Biology/Engineering field day

We went to Lake Roosevelt visitors center, the ranch, the dam tunnel, the eagle´s nest, and the habitat riparian area. While at the Lake Roosevelt visitor center we got to see a lot of different animals and they talked about the lake and the birds on the lake. While at the ranch Media talked about the livestock and the land and the dirt tanks and how they get water their. Even though we didn´t get to go in the tunnel the engineer talked about how they used dynamite to blow up the rock and form it into a tunnel. While at the eagle´s nest we got to see the eagle nesting. At the riparian area we seen where the water level would be if the lake was at 100% and we got to use the tree measuring thing.

I would like to learn how they fished or if they even did fish. If they used a tree limb with string or rope with a hook or with a net they had weaved. What kind of fish they would try to catch. If there was a different kind of fish they had back then that may be extinct know. How they harvested the meet from the fish they caught. 

Field Day

     I went on a trip to Roosevelt Lake with my class where we went to a couple of interesting places. We first stopped at the visitor center where we might the rangers that would be taking us to these places. They first introduced them self and shared what they do and how the job effected what we were about to see. Then we headed off to a ranch up the street and might a woman who raised cows and she told us about how math is really important to know when you are doing this type off job. Then she started talking about how the stock market went way up because of how important the cows were during that time. Then we went over by the dam where visited a tunnel where they showed us how it was made. There were a metal cover over the side of the hill so that rocks wouldn't fall on you. After that we went farther down to this one spot where we could actually see the dam and we learned the history behind it and how they redid it. Then drove over to the eagles nest where the rangers set up a telescope so that we could see the eagle. Then the rangers were talking about how one of the eagles stay in the nest protecting the eggs when the other one went to go get food. Then once in a while they would switch and right when they said that the other eagle came from around the corner to switch places which was really cool. Then we went to the side of the road where we got out of the bus and walked to the middle of this forest so that we could learn to get the height of a tree with a clinometer which was pretty interesting. Then we said goodbye to the rangers at Roosevelt Lake and went back home.

     I liked this trip better then the other one mainly because the other one was mostly just the history of it. When on this one there was more of going places and doing things which more fun than just talking. Also on this trip it was more of what is happening now. On this trip we did more thing like seeing how to tell the height of a tree with a clinometer. I overall liked this trip better because we were more active on this one.

Field Day

I got to learn a lot more about the damn then what I knew. I was vary interesting that they put rocks in the concrete so they would not use so much concrete. I also liked how how he was giving information on the eagle. I even got a hat from the engineer of the damn. He said that hat was the same one as the ones that they wooer when they built the damn. I also got to learn how to measure a tree its kind of hard to do.
