Nellie Grade 7 Today, at beavertail, the atlantic was very choppy. As the waves drowned the rocks, the impact made the water into a smooth white.Almost like milk. At mackeral cove, the water was choppy, but the waves were no where near the hieght of the waves at beavertail. But, at sheifield cove, the water was very calm. Not like glass, but there were very few waves and those waves were very small.
Last night, I went to Narragansett and I saw that one half of the beach was calm and didn’t produce many waves while the other half was very rough and had big waves. The big waves put a lot of seaweed on the rocks. I was mesmerized by all the foam washing in and out of the rocks. When the waves crashed, the foam looked like the fizz from a soda can when you open it. Right when it started to evaporate, the new waves would replenish the foam.
Allie Grade 7 I went to Beavertail and the water was very rough with some spots covered in foam. The beige colored foam was floating around the surface in a channel-like pattern. The waves were huge! When the massive waves crashed, they turned white at the top (white caps)The internal and external parts of the wave then turned an amazing aqua color. The external part of the wave looked glossy and untouched. After the wave crashed completely, the powerful force of the wave flooded the seaweed covered rocks. The poor, plump seagulls were disturbed by the water crashing over their delicate bodies. The seaweed that covered the rocks was very colorful and lush. The sun was so bright that day the water was sparkling and blinding, but I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off it. Sound and motion of the ocean never stops. I had a great time observing the Atlantic. Thanks for the awesome extra credit Mr. K!!
I am having some tough times and may not be able to answer all of your extra credit assignments.
However, I have done the "How has science been a part of your summer?" credit one.
Whenever I look out at the ocean, I am stunned by how evasive the horizon is. I tend not to be able to pick out the precise line that separates water from the sky. There seems to always be a layer of fog right around that dividing line.
What really gets me about the ocean, after sailing in it for nine years, is the continuity of it. The amount of water out there is so unfathomable, and the kinetic energy that is constantly building is so immense. I wish I could fully understand it, but I never will.
After talking about the ocean and the water so much, I thought I'd mention something pretty cool: the word verification that I have to type in for this comment is hydra.
The thing about looking at the atlantic is that you can only see three things: water, sky, and that line in between. However if you look closer it will be broken down into smaller parts. Look for signs of life. Today at the East Ferry the water was moderately choppy.

Sort of cool!
Have a nice summer!
