1. What are 3 scientific facts that you learned from watching Journey to the Center of the Earth?
2. What are 3 things in the movie that were scientifically untrue.

1.If you drop water into magma into evaporation.

The fossil in the movie the fact that fossils are real.

magnesium the rocks is also real.

2.The blue little bird in the movie.

If you reach the center of the Earth you will died no doubt about it.

Dinosaurs are extincted.

Constellations. :)


1. What was your favorite topic that we learned about this year in Earth Science?
2. Explain this topic. Provide a picture and/or website link to better illustrate what you learned.
3. Why is this so cool? Mr. Dunn likes a lot of stuff that we do (that's why we do it). Why did you like this particular


UNIVERSE!

I liked the protostars and planetesimals and things about the universe. I always like the stars and and planets especially my favorite planet Mars and Pluto(it's a planet).Also the constellation thing because i always try so hard to find one of those I still haven't but, I will some day. I learned more facts about planets that I didn't know. And, Black Holes were the cools thing in the universe.

The Big Bang! "/

The Big Bang Theory attempts to explain the formation of the universe. What do you think the universe looked like before the Big Bang? What made the universe "bang?"

I think it looked very empty. But, it would have from little protostar to a planetesmial then it bacame what we know today.

Extrasolar Planet!

1. What are the four ways astronomers can detect extrasolar planets?
2. Choose one of the four ways and explain it in detail.
3. In your answer to #2 you chose one way that astronomers detect extrasolar planets. Search the Internet to find how many extrasolar planets have been detected using this method.




1. Doppler Shift
Astrometric Measurements
Transit Method
Gravitational Micrlensing
Direct Detection

2.Doppler Shift
Measurement or change in stars. Star's movement induced by a planet's gravitational tug.

3.210 have been discovered.

Planets




Which planet or moon is your favorite? Why?


My favorite planet is Mars and Pluto they are the best planet. Frist I will start with Pluto. I like because its different and just cause its different doesn't not mean it's not a planet. Yea Pluto maybe a little small but, so what just because a person tiny didn't mean that they're not a person. Right? I think Pluto should became a planet it does have some feature of a planet. But, I will always consister Pluto a planet.


Second Mars is also my other favorite planet. I like Mars because Mars haves a cool color. However, no other planet has a volcano but, guess what Mars does and its the largest one too. Mars has similarities to Earth.

Astronomy.(:

Over the next couple of weeks, you will be working on a research assignment called the Astronomy Choice Project (ACP). Details for the assignment will be given during class on Monday. For today's blog post, you will choose 5 topics that sound interesting, and write a paragraph for each. You are not committed to using any of today's choices for your research assignment. Here's the list of choices:


Black holes Worm holes String Theory (check Powers of 10 link, then ask Mr. Dunn for help)Dark matter Dark energy Search for aliens (SETI)Mars The Moon Pluto Hubble Telescope Titan (one of Saturn's moons)Apollo missions Saturn's rings Big Bang Theory Telescopes Ultimate fate of the universe International Space Station Kuiper Belt Milky Way Galaxy Andromeda Galaxy Asteroid Belt Dwarf Planets Red Giants Binary Planet Systems Binary Star Systems



Black Hole
To became a black hole it has to be three solar masses. Also they don't know where black hole in but, they do know that it ends some wherein space. Its suck anything that cames near it. Also Black Holes suck you I need so fast you won't even know what to do.

Dark matter
Dark matter is gravity pull together. Also Black Hole make Dark Matter. And they it's what is holding their universe together.

Planet Red
The Red Planet better know as Mars. Has volcano on the surface unlike any other planets. Mars has the largest volcano know in space. And Mars also have similarities to Earth.

Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It hasn't clear its orbit yet. Pluto moons Charon is about the same size as Pluto.

Titan
Titan is Saturn moons. Titan is also the largest moon on Saturn but, the second largest in space. Also water has been found on Titan.

Water- The water bottle surface.
Grass- The dew in you grass.
Mirror- After you get out the shower the mirror foggy.
Refrigerator- The inside in the door and walls.
