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.
