[Humanities] Capital Resources

[Humanities] Capital Resources

There are three things I am going to talk about. The things are Human Capital, Financial Capital, and Natural Resources Capital. Human capital refers to the stock of skills and knowledge, it is also the skills and knowledge gained by worker through experience and their education. It is mostly talking about economics. For example, when people need to make their own decision but they don’t need how to do about the economy then they will use the experiment and the things they learn from their education. Financial Capital also can refer to money used for businesses to buy the things people want to products or provide their services to the sector of economy. For example, Jason wants to sell his computer then he will buy computer that invented by others, that how he can compare each. Natural resources capital stock(economy) of natural ecosystem that how they work for valuable ecosystem goods or services. For example, how stocks work.

Definition: What is geography?
Geography is study of Earth and the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. The word “GEOGRAPHY” is from the Greek word “GEOGRAPHIA”. Geography usually use to explain and communicate the differences and between various land. Today, researchers are still focus on people and culture; and planet earth.

Theme 1: Location
Where are you right now? Describe your location in as many ways as you can.
I am in Hsinchu International School. It is a school in Hsinchu. It is the north west side of Taiwan. The longitude and latitude of HIS is 24°47'44.79"N and120°56'33.90"E.

Theme 2: Place What do we mean by the terms “physical, human and cultural” when we describe a place?
The physical, human and cultural characteristics are a kind of place. Human characteristics will include human-designed cultural features of a place or land; ex: structures. Physical characteristics are will include land, mountains, rivers, beaches, plants, animal, and water forms. Cultural characteristics will be human and geography interaction.

Theme 3: Human-Environment Interactions How do humans adapt to and/or change the environment?
Humans adapt to and change the environment by polluting the environment, change the environment by cutting trees down and build houses. Human also do something positive to the Earth like
How do we depend upon the environment?
We depend upon the environment in a way just like, the weather is cold, we add clothes on. Maybe someone thinks is not cold enough, they won’t add anything on.

Theme 4: Movement
How does movement affect your daily life? Different movements can make people change their emotions, or because people’s emotion people will have different movements. Sometime when you are happy you will smile to everyone that is one of the examples of because people’s emotions change people’s movements. Another example of different movements can make people change their emotions; like, someone hurt you and that makes you feel very angry.
What “items” are being moved that you interact with on a regular basis?
The items are being moved that I interact with regular basis are house, music, emotions, clothes, economy, transportation, water(drinks), weather, health, technology, sports, and food.

Theme 5: Regions
Describe the difference between a formal, functional and perceptual description of a region.
Regions can be formal, functional, and perceptual description. Formal regions are the things that designated by official boundaries, like: cities, states, counties, and countries. Sometimes it will use for economic and cultural also. Usually it is use for man-made. Functional regions are certain interaction that will connect places. Perceptual regions are the different people can have different views and perceptions of what the things might have.

[Humanities]Region-Country I went there before

[Humanities]Region-Country I went there before

The country I went is Australia, Sydney. I went there when I was kindergarten. It is a perceptual region because different people can have different view and perceptions of Australia, Sydney. Australia, Sydney is also a sub capital city in Australia. The economic of Australia is pretty good and it also is a city have many working building. The most powerful to present cultural characteristic is Sydney opera house. It attracts a lot of people went there every year. The physical characteristics in Sydney is the place need to went to and thinks by our self.

[Science]Isolating the Variable

[Science]Isolating the Variable

In science class we talk about "isolating the variable" and that means you eliminate all the differences between tow experiments , then you know that the difference in results is caused by a certain reason you made.
We did SMASH day (Smith's Marvelously Awesome Science Hoopla! WooHoo! DAY) and we looking at Chocolate Attack activity. We need to make a ship and it will test by float on the water, then see which group can fit in the most corks the group gets to win. The reason why we do this is because there are chocolate attack and we need to invent the boat that can fit in most people to save everyone from HIS. In 30 minutes we need to finish the boat so the time is enough for the people who wants to escape from chocolate attack. My group is Peter, Tung Erh, and me. The things is "how did the activity isolate design as the variable?". We get three piece of papers, scissors, tape, and three straws from Miss. Smiths. The winner is Stephine, Annchi, and Jasmine C'S group, their boat can fit in 30 corks. The most corks. Their design is the boat is very big and it has more space to put the cork, the boat they make can also separate the gravity. They didn't waste paper, so their boat looks very slight. So, the most important point for the boat is the boat must be slight, big enough. To let the boat float on the water and it can fit in many corks.
