Weather Front Simulation

Cold Front- The cold front air went under the warm air, pushing the warm up. Forming a cloud and making it rain. Making it rain.
Warm Front- The warm front came and started pushing the cold air back and going over the cold air. Making it rain.
Stationary Front- The warm air and cold air go forward until they reach each other and push each other back and forth till the cloud forms. making it rain.
Occluded Front- The cold air came and pushed against the warm and cool air creating clouds and making it rain or snow.
Which type of front occurred this week to bring the cold weather and then snow?- The Occluded Front.

Atmospheric factors effecting climate

This is my paper please enjoy!

Greenhouse Gas

Greenhouse gas is the process in which gasses are held in the air. People in the North Pole should be concerned about this. Not only the humans affected by this but the polar bears are affected also. The bears are losing their habitats that includes their shelter and food supply because the water is increasing and the ice is decreasing.

Photochemical Smog

Photochemical smog is a mixture of ozone and other pollutants that makes up a brown haze. Some causes are chemicals like hydrocarbons,nitrogen oxides from cars and other motor vehicles. The effects or consequences are headache irritated eyes,throat, and lungs. Some solutions would be to decrease commuter traffic and increase public transportation. Also people could take the subway city bus or join a car pool. That is a little about photochemical smog.

Earth's Atmospere

The earth has an atmosphere that acts like a blanket. The biosphere is the part of the atmosphere that all life forms live in. The atmosphere is mostly made out of air. While the hydrosphere and lithosphere are made out of water and land. The moon has no atmosphere so when a meteor hits the moon's surface the area were it hit will always be there. Also since the earth has an atmosphere the meteor will burn up if it is smaller when it enters the earth's atmosphere. But when it is larger the meteor will hit the earth's surface the weather that is formed in the atmosphere will fill in the place were the meteor hit.

Space exploration

Summaries

The science of rockets
NASA has used atlas rockets to launch probes and satellites into orbit around earth. On those rockets there are three stages. The stages are atlas, centaur, and payload.

The space programs
Its mission was to explore space. After many missions they did the Apollo 13. Their mission was to land on the moon. Their mission was unsuccessful. They landed back on earth in the pacific Ocean near Samoa.

Exploring robots
NASA has been working on a robot called astronaut assistant. The robot will be able to monitor temperature, pressure, and air quality.

Benefits of space science
Less than one percent of US budget is spent on NASA. People think the funds should not go to NASA but to an organization for disease research.

Picture

Earth revolves around the

sun just as a speed skater

travels around the center

of a rink during a race.

Gizmo Entry

All in all the seasons change four times a year. The seasons change by the earth being tilted and rotating around the sun. In one year the earth rotates around the sun once so the seasons change four times. The seasons change on the equinox and the solistice that happen four times a year (two times each). The seasons change in June, December, September, and March.

Pespective

Zoom is a book that is quite interesting. The book has no words and keeps zooming out. At the beginning of the book it starts off with a roosters comb. At the end it ends with the world. I noticed with my inferences that I was totally wrong. But each time the book would zoom out your prediction would change. I think the book has to do with perspective because you have to look at the picture and think outside the box.
When you look at certain items you don't always see it accurately. Like in the book zoom you had to look at things with an open mind. You cant look at things with a tunnel vision because you wont see the big picture. But if you look at the object in a different perspective then you may see the object accurately. It helps to look at things in different directions. When you look at things like that the you see things upside down and sideways.

In the field of science different jobs need to look at things in perspective or closely. Like a scientist looking at how the body works. They might want to look at things closer compared to a scientists looking at dinosaur bones. As we go into our new unit Astronomy we want be aware at different perspectives because you may miss something important.

Enigma Box

The enigma box activity caused me to use skills scientists use. The skills I used are predicting, model making, and observation. Those are the three I used but I had left out two. The two are classifying and inferring.
In my observations are as following. I found there was two holes in the top of the enigma box. There was also a smaller hole in the side of the box. At 400 ml there was some drops coming out of the side hole. As all 500 ml of water was in the enigma box all the water started to come out of the box in a fluid motion.
Based on my observations I think there is something not letting it out until the appropriate pressure is in the enigma box. The way I picture it is like a hose. If you put your finger over the outlet of the hose it will get to a point were it will go out the sides.
In the end the box had a tube in it. When the water got above the flow level it started to flow out. The drops were caused by left over water from the experiment before this one.

Welcome Message

Welcome to my blog.

On this blog I have crated, you will experience how I think about topics. This is my first time creating a blog. I think it will be fun to see every ones else's . Over time I will add more to the blog. The blog will consume topics about me and activities I enjoy doing. But..... for now this blog will be pretty boring and only talk about earth science. I hope blogging will be fun.
