Metric & Imperial units

Metric Units 

We use the metric units in many diffrent ways for example;
We use liter for the big bottles of soda.
we use centimeters for the small measurements for school..
and in other countries like the United Kingdom the use kilometers for distance

United kingdom way to measure distance 

Imperial units

like Gallons are use for milk

Season Of The Earth

Tilt- inclinar  (The earth on a angle of 23.5 degrees)
Axis- eje (Is the top center of the earth, the earth rotates on its axis)
Polaris- estrella polar (Is the star that the earth's axis point to)
Revolution-  revolución (Is the earth's movement around the earth)
Ellipse-   elipse (Is the shape of the earth orbit around the sun)
Orbit-  órbita  (Is the road that the earth takes around the sun)
Equator-   ecuador (Is a imaginary line that passes around the earth center)
Northern hemisphere- el hemisferio norte ( Is the norther half of the earth that is separate by the equator) 
Hemisferio sur- el hemisferio suris (The southern part of the earth that is separate by the equator)
Summer- verano (Is one of the  4 seasons, when the earth gets direct sunlight on the northern hemisphere)  
Fall-otoño (Is the next season and we have it because the sun hits it strsaight to the equator
 so is not so hot and cold)
Winter- invierno (Is the next one that happens because the earth gets direct sunlight on the south so its not so hot in the northern hemisphere)  
Spring- primavera ( Is the next season that happens because the earth gets light directed to the equator) 
 Direct- La luz solar directa (Is when the sunlight hits a place)
Indirect sunlight- la luz solar indirecta (Is were sunlight doesn't hit a lot)  
summary
  The earth rotates around the sun counter clockwise. so when the sun is in different places, we have different seasons. the earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. So when the sunlight is hitting the earth directly to the south causing the south to get hot, so it's the season of summer. and in the north doesn't get as much sun light so it gets cold and it's winter.so when the sun moves the next season is spring in the south and fall in the north, this is because the earth gets direct sunlight at the equator.and both hemispheres( northern & southern)  Is not cold and not too hot. and when the next season comes is summer in the north and again in the south its cold. Then in the next one will be spring in the south and fall in the north.



How is earth affected by movement?
 Earth is affected by movement in different ways.
in one way is it cause different season because the earth locates it self in different positions and getting sun light in different parts. it also cause lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.

Geologic time - Brandon

Summary

At the Jurassic period the earth was still together forming Pangaea. their was abundance of dinosaurs. Their was also life of plants. at the end of the jurassic period their was minor mass of extinction.

What did you enjoy most about this project?

• I enjoy about this project was to build up the video.

What was the most challenging thing about this project? why?

•   The most challenging thing of this project was to get all the information so when people watch your video they other stand. 

What you change about this project and why?

• I wouldn't change anything because its a really well organise project were you are independent or work with a group.

What are 3 thing that you learn from this project?

• I learn many periods o that earth went through 
• I also learn that the earth was on hole continent 
• I learn that their was many life before the man, and that theirs still animals that haven't extinct yet, like sharks and rays

What's a star?

                 
What's a star?
A star is a ball made up of hot air and gas.

Types of stars.
Theirs many different types of stars for example theirs the; super giants, the giants, the white dwarfs and the main sequence that has the rest of different stars.

H-R diagram.
  Stars have sections to determinate their characteristics, their color, temperature, luminosity, massive/size,and type. their energy is made by a process call nuclear Fusion. Nuclear Fusion is when two hydrogen molecules torn into a helium molecule. the life cycle of a star begins when is a stellar nebula to a sun-like star goes to a red giant to a planetary nebula to a white dwarf and black dwarf.      

Neptune

Neptune is the 8th planet from the sun.
the distance from the sun to Neptune is about 4,446 millions km.
it mass is 17,151 kg.
Diameter is 49,500 km

Rotation 164.8 years                                            
Revolution: 164.8 years
Neptune has 13 moons
Neptune is a Jovian
 The planet is mostly water. The temperature is about -225°C. The atmosphere is mostly hydrogen (74%), Helium (25%)and Methane (1%). Its mostly made of water.
interesting facts about this planet is that it has a big dark spot that banish.
its named after the god of the sea Poseidon   

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking

What time of the year do a hurricane occur?
Hurricanes happens during the period of June through November. It happens during this time because this is when in the north it gets hot and in the south its cold. So when a wind from both sides meet neer a warm water ocean  they  rotate on a cycle causing a lot if evaporation, precipitation, high winds and big waves. All at the same time.

How can the timing of the tides effect the divesting of a hurricane?
The tides rice the water witch makes more evaporation and and when the water precipitates the high tides make the water to accumulate and that causes over flows.

If  an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
Yes, Because the  water will not  be able to go away. witch will cause many over flows and mudslides.

How does groundwater saturation affects rivers and streams?
Ground water is when the precipitation of  water is high, the water Will not be able to infiltrate so the water will run off to the rivers and like  hurricane Irene will cause rivers to overflow.

Reflection

What is something that you liked about this mini-project?
Something that i liked about this mini-project is that we all learn one topic and then we teach each other a mini lesson.

What was difficult for you on this project ?
It was a little hard to learn  a lot of a topic in one day but we took notes so it wasn't hard to remember what we learn.

what would you change about your work on this project?
I will try to research as many details so me and my class mates will learn more.

How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
well I learn the reasons of over flows and the causes of a hurricane and the affects.
