geologic project

summary 
The Ordovician Period was 490 years ago. During the Ordovician Period was almost all continent layed under water that were consisted mammals under water which were trilobites, nautilus etc. Some Geologic/Tectonic Event was Gondwanna was consisted of southern Europe, Australia, Africa and South America. The Atlantic sea closed as Europe moved toward North America. Cold climate with flouted marine ice developed on the maximum glaciations was reached. During that period it had of works most of them came from Florida.






Reflection
what did you enjoy the most about this project?
Is that it was a really fun project even though sometimes I didn’t know what to do but I really enjoyed it.

What was most challenging about this project? Why?
The most challenging thing was that sometime I don’t know what to do and I felt lost and I was working alone.

What would you change about this project and why?
The first thing I would like to have a partner.
I would like Miss Kara explain a little more about the project.


What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
I learned that the Ordovician period was under water .
I learned that Geologic Time Scale teach us what was happening on earth history.
and I also learned that there’s a lot of ways to present a project.

the stars


What is a star?
A star is a big ball made of gas, some are bigger and
Brighter than the son, stars have different color, size
Names, temperature and luminosity 




Types of stars
    Super Giant
    Giant

    Main sequence


    White dwarf   

H-R Diagram
Is a diagram that Scientifics use to identify stars. How high or low luminosity and has to see how big or small



Nuclear fusion
The nuclear reaction of a star change hydrogen gas into helium
Molecule and create hot and energy. H + HE = hot and energy.



The life cycle of a star
                                The life cycle of a star show us how the stars born and die.
                         How does it change and when does it change

Mars

v  Mars is t the 4th planet from the sun.
v The distance from the sun is 207 million km.
v The mass is 6.4169x1023 kg.
v The diameter is 6,799 km.
v The rotation is 24h with 37 min and 23 sec.
v The revolution is 687 days
v Mars have 2 moons (Phobos and Deimos)
 and the type of the moons are terrestrial.
    
    Description
·         Red rocks.
·         Round and red.
·         There are serve dust storm at hurricane speed on the planet area.
·         Mars has a thinner atmosphere than the earth.

   Two interesting fact that mars have and the other
Planets don’t have are:
§  It has the red color
§  It is half of size of earth

Critical thinking:  
 

1.       What time of year do hurricanes occur? Why do they only happen during that time?    
Hurricanes most occur in summer because water/ocean is hot in summer.

2.       How can the timing of the tides (high or low) effect the devastation of hurricane?   
      When tides are low hurricanes don’t have much power and when tides are high it increase its power.

3.       If an area is fully saturated, will a hurricane have more or less impact on an area?
The hurricanes will have more impact because evaporation from the water increases its power.

4.       How does ground water saturation affect rivers and streams?
It affects rivers and stream by making it dirty.

                                                                   
Reflection:
1.    What is something that you liked about this mini-project?
I like that we present it look professional.

2.       What was difficult for you on this project?
Actually it wasn’t difficult but to find cause was a little challenging.

3.       What would you change about your work on this project?
I would put more causes and effects.

4.       How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
I learned how does and formed what was the causes and effect and when does it happen the most.
