Ozone Paragraph

The ozone helps and doesnt help. It helps by only letting a certain amount of tempurature in and out. But it contributes to greenhouse effect. Ozone depletion is when the rays come in from the sun and then kills our oxygen which is bad because we need oxygen to live.

The earth is a very different place because we have a atmosphere. It blocks a lot of bad things. Such as they rays coming from the sun. It makes sure that we have enough and not too much. It also protects us from meteors. Which when they hit our atmosphere it burns up from all the friction from the gas that it is made up of. The ozone is a part of the atmosphere that protects us from the sun. The atmosphere is mostly made up of nitrogen it is 78%. Oxygen is 21% of it and then the other 1% is a mix of other gases. The moon has no atmosphere so there is a lot going on. Any meteor heading its way hits it. It also can very in temperature all the time.

Science Overviews

Nasa has been using Atlas rockets to get satellites into space.  The newer  ones are about 58 meters high.  Thats allot smaller than usual.  There are three parts to a rocket.  The first is an atlas which is fuel boosters.  The second is Centaur which help propel to the proper location.  The third is the payload which could be the satellite or any other load they want in space.

They started Nasa  in 1958.  They wanted to explore space.  They have been very successful many times but they also have unsuccessful.  Luckily most of the time people weren't hurt.  They have had many craft go to the moon, Apollo 13 was one of those crafts that didn't reach there goal but also reached a goal by making it back to earth without anyone getting hurt.  also Galileo made a successful flyby that helped it launch to jupiter and also got to see part of the moons north pole.

They keep creating different robots to help. One is a floating robot that can have austronaghts communicate with each other by video.  They also have a bunch of features and alerts that can tell the person.  it is is a great helper and satisfies many people.

Nasa has been saying how the government is saying it is not important.  They also only get $7 from them.  They say they help allot of people with satellites with there jobs.  Many technology stuff has been discovered by space from Nasa.  Especially in communication has grown so much by satellites.  so we need to raise many for Nasa.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Zoom was an interesting book that puts everything in size and perspective. It made everything look small but large in another way. The perspective part is what it mainly is trying to tell you about. That's because it takes a comb of a rooster and picture by picture it works its way out to seeing the whole world.

There were many times that i thought it was something but i was totally wrong. But you always new what it was after it would zoom out you would see it. It also helped when it would zoom out because it would be a magazine or something that would be a picture. but you never new if it as real or just a picture so you always had to take your best guess.

I think that some scientist would be interested in this book. It changes your thought on how you see different thing. I know that when i learned that if the north star was the size of Everest than the earth would be the size of a golf ball then we are just a tiny little thing. It also make you think if we are that small think of how small microscopic things in comparison. But truly i think anyone would like this book and learn about pace because there is so much to learn and so much to find out.

Enigma Box

In the class demonstration the water didn't come out till there was a certain amount. It came out fast at once till the end. The water went in the bigger hole.

I think there is a tube that holds the water until it is full then it comes out. Or it is the air that is in the tube. That pressurizes it until it is all gone.

The skills scientist use are predicting, observing, classifying, inferring, and making models. Predicting is when you guess about the future and what happens. You must use all of these to be a good scientist. Inferring is when you see if your prediction was right and right info you got wrong. Observing is after predicting and it is when you see what happens. Then you can classify if you where right or wrong. I had to use these when I didn't know what was in the enigma box. So i went through the process.

What happened in the expiration was there is a tube inside it. it was pressurized and then until the water got to the top it all came down and pressure made it keep going. So really it was not the tube i was talking about. But it was a different tube that you would use for other things like a hose.
