(2) IB Learner
Profile(s) and describe
how you displayed
these during the
assignment?

In this assignment, I read

about the composition and
structure of the
atmosphere. There was a
part about the water cycle
too. I also read about
Energy transfer and winds
in the atmosphere.

I learned that Nitrogen is the

most abundant gas in the
atmosphere, making up 78% of
it. Oxygen makes up 21%.
There are 4 layers of
atmosphere, the troposphere,
stratosphere, mesosphere and
exosphere. Energy is
transferred as heat through
convection (like an oven),
conduction (like a stove) and
radiation (like the sun). These
all effect winds and cause the
Coriolis effect.

Inquirers: As I did the

assignment I got curious and
wanted to learn more. So at
healthy kids I went outside and
Googled information about the
atmosphere. It was cool because
I was outside in the atmosphere
and felt the air fill my lungs as I
read about it.
Principled: During the
assignment I was going to look
off of Ms. Phillips paper to copy
answers but I turned my body
the other way so I wouldnt. I
knew if I did this it would be
cheating and I dont want to be
a cheater.
