The reason my Antarctic flag is white,blue, and brown is because I believe that those are the only colors that are really in Antarctica. I also did brown because instead of water underneath the ice, like the North Pole, Antarctica has dirt and ground underneath. I also put snowflakes and the Earth on my flag because as you probably know, Antarctica has very much snow and ice so I thought it would be appropriate to put some snowflakes. I put the Earth because no one really owns Antarctica, we all share it.

Our class learned how to make graphs on a spreadsheet. The information on the blog is about diving in Antarctica.

You are the rainbow to my spectrum

You are the lense to my telescope

You are the shadow to my sun dial

The pupil to my eye and the cones to my color

For Flex Class, we got to pic a root word and draw something related to it. I got Ped, which means foot. I drew a pedestrian, because it had the root word Ped in it

     When I was hiding in the art room, I was located next to the Stonyfield yogurt cup. When we were doing this project, we used a program called Adobe Photo Shop. It made it easy to cut and paste pictures onto other pictures. It was a really fun program to learn to work with, It got confusing sometimes but in the end all of the pictures looked really good. It's quite difficult to find me in this picture.

The eye is an important part of your body. The iris, which is the colored part of your eye,is a muscle that opens and closes the pupil, which is a part of the eye that gathers light. The schlera is a part of the eye that blocks light and is the white part of your eye. I labeled the eyebrow because along with eyelashes and eyelids, they protect your eye from dust and tiny things you can't see that could damage your eye.

Living in space is a real adventure. Getting to experience no gravity and getting to see the moon and planets up close. They also need to change the way they live. The way they go to the bathroom, the way they eat and sleep. Astronauts have to train to learn how to live on a space shuttle. It a real change from living on Earth. Here is some more information on living in space.
One thing that is different in space than on Earth is food. You would think it's totally different right? Well actually it's pretty much the same. The astronauts eat regular every-day things like brownies, fruit, and pastas. Space food has really changed. At one point it was all squirt able food. Gross. So the astronauts voted to make changes on every day needs, like food. Now they eat many different things like cheeses, macaroni, coffee tea, and juices. Salt and pepper is made into a liquid because if they tried to put it on there food it would just float off into the air. It would mess up equipment and get into peoples eyes which probably be painful. Women astronauts usually obtain 1,900 calories a day. Men obtain about 3,200 calories. They have regular meals like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So overall, food in space has advanced and is just like food on Earth.
Hygiene is a part of everyday living that is very important. Brushing your teeth, taking showers, going to the bathroom, shaving, brushing your hair. You need to do these things. They have special hygiene kits that have everything they need. They have shampoo that doesn't need rinsing. So you don't need to use water. Obviously that wouldn't work because of the no gravity. Another change is going to the bathroom. They have special toilets they use. Each person has a personal toilet.
Sleeping in space is a lot different then on Earth. There is no gravity, so you have to strap yourself to the ground so you don't float around when you sleep. So the astronauts could sleep anywhere if they wanted to! All they have to do is be attached to something. When you are in space, you are weightless in space. They usually sleep in sleeping bags because they don't float off. There are only four bunks in the Space Shuttle. Astronauts have regular times to go to sleep and wake up just like on Earth.
Living in space can be fun, exciting, and thrilling. You get to see the planets up close, and there's no gravity. This is all how astronauts have to change the way they live to go with the no gravity concept. Liquid salt and pepper, rinseless shampoo, and private bathrooms is very different compared to everyday life on Earth.

Recently, we had the Moon rocks in class

365 days a year, the Earth rotates around the Sun in a 23.5 angle, casing the seasons to change.

Winter Solstice:The Winter Solstice happens when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun. This brings longer nights and less daylight. Since the it gets colder, the sun is not up as high is it usually, giving our area less heat. The Winter Solstice is December 21 and when that happens the sun is pointing away from the North Pole.

Summer Solstice: The Summer Solstice happens exactly when the earth's axial tilt is closest to the sun. The Summer Solstice occurs in June in the Northern Hemisphere. It is December in the Southern Hemisphere. This day of the year is one of the longest. 

Vernal Equinox:The vernal equinox ,also known as “the first point of Aries,” is a point at which the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator which is a invisible line that is in plane with the Equator, from south to north. This happens around March 21, which is the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Autumnal Equinox:The Autumnal Equinox, which is September 22nd, the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator,which again is an invisible line that is in plane with the Equator, from north to south; this starts the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
