A weather map of the U.S.; We had to learn the states when we did weather maps
1. My favorite Geology topic we did this year was volcanoes because I thought that there was only one type of volcano. So, when I learned that there are three, composite, shield and cinder, it was very intriguing to learn a whole new slew of things about the three types of volcanoes.

2.My favorite topic that we did in Meteorology was U.S. Geography. I love geography, so much so that I italicised it! It built my confidence up in Science, especially after that 92 second semester. It was exactly what I needed.

3. My favorite topic in Astronomy was learning about the planets and the stars. I thought that there were other stars in our galaxy and that the Sun is just this mammoth of a star. But I was wrong! It actually is the only star in our galaxy.

4. I think I earned an A on the final exam because I studied a lot last night. I had assumed that the final exam was just like the pre-test, so I only studied the Pre-test and the crossword puzzles. I wish I studied p,s, and surface waves and projection maps, but I totally forgot.

Blog #4

1. What made the Big Bang "bang" was that there was so much energy in one location that it exploded. Have you ever seen a cartoon where a giant air balloon blows up and flies everywhere because there was to gas in the actual balloon? It is almost the same idea.

2. I would want to think that if I was sucked into a black hole that I would spin down a tunnel and just drop in the middle of another planet with life similar to humans, if not the actual species. But, I think that if I touched a black hole that it would instantaneously compact me down to the size of an atom. So, I think I am going to stay away from black holes for the time being.

3. i have always wanted to travel in time so when I learned that Worm holes could possibly do that, I was flabbergasted. If I were to go into a worm hole, I could only trael into the future, so I would probably go to 3000 to see if 1. we were still alive a s a race, and 2. if Futurama was actually accurate. I would travel to New York City or New New York City, (what ever they would call it by then) and have the best time of my life, eating new kinds of delicious foods and maybe bowling on clouds or something fun like that.

Blog Post #3

1. Radial Velocity, Astrometry, Transit method, optical detection.

2. I think astrometry is the best because it is very precise.

3. It is the are in space where a planet isn't too cold or too hot.

4. I think they would exactly like us, just they are our evil twin. There of course would be good people too, because the people on Earth who are evil would be good on Gilese 581c. There would be no government and society because everything would be chaotic. I think that, just like Earth, some people will be smart and some people won't be. I think it would be the parallel to Earth, so that is why intellect will differ.

5. I think there is the possibility of life, as long as a planet meets two certain requirments.Those requirements are that it is never or rarley too hot or too cold, and that there is water or something that can sustain life. This is very rare of course. I think that there is life out there, but it is not extremley likely.That is what I think aboutlife out there.

1.Hydrogen
2 Carbon Dioxide.
3. I want to live on Mercury for many reasons. The biggest reason is that there is a lot of helium there and I like the way my voice sounds on helium. It would probably kill a lot of brain cells but that's one of the only set backs. Well, another bigone is that is gets extremely hot in the day time and extremely cold at night. So, it would probably be very hard to live there, but it's worth trying.

Jupiter


Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is the fifth planet from the sun and is known for having a huge red hole that is 2 and a half times the size of Earth. It is a high pressure zone, so there are anticyclones there. It is the first of the Jovian planets which are also known as the "Gas Giants,". Although Jupiter is known for its giant red spot, it also has rings.


Sun

The Sun is the only star in our solar system. We think it's the biggest star in the universe, but it's not. It only looks bigger because it is closer to us than all the other stars. It is closet to Mercury and furthest from Neptune of all of our planets. Without the Sun there is no way we can survive.

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet in our soar system and falls behind Earth in Volume. It is also the closest planet to Earth so we can see it relatively well.Only the Moon is more
"brilliant then Mars.When we talk about "Martians" we are talking about possible life from there. We have never been to Mars, but have sent robots there. President Obama has also expressed intrest in sending astronauts there eventually.

Black Hole

A black hole is simply a hole in the universe that drags everything that touches it in . Some people have speculated that if we would touch it that we would be dragged into another universe. Others think you would just die a really quick and painful death. I, personally, don't want to check it out for myself; I am great here on Earth.

Pluto

Pluto used to be considered a Planet but as of 2006, it was down-graded to a dwarf planet. There were many things that compelled scientists to change Pluto's categorization. Some of them include that Pluto is extremley small, is partially made of ice, and that it's most abundant element isn't Hydrogen like the other Jovian planets; it is Nitrogen. I wish Pluto could be a Planet again, but then we would have to include all of the other dwarf planets that meet what Pluto meets.
