This is a flag of Anarctica that we made in science class. We have been studying what scientists do when they are there. My flag has a blue background because Anarctica is full of blue water and ice. I put seals and penguins on my flag because they are the only animals there that live above the water. I made Anarctica green because it is land. This is my ideal flag of Anarctica.

Dear ,

I love you more than the distance from here to the sun which is 93 million miles! I would guard you from any supernova, even one from a blue star. We go together better than a stamen goes with a pistil and I will always be there for you even 5 billion years from now when our sun will explode in a nova. Just like a nucleus we can never be split. I love you.

Love,

This picture shows me hiding in the art room. To do this I took a picture of a cup then i took a picture of me. After that I photoshopped both of those to make it look like I was hiding in the cup.

The eye is made up of many important parts. There are parts that let light in and there are parts for protection. The capillaries bring oxygen to the eye. The lashes and brows are a form of protection for the eye. The iris lets light in through the pupil. The schlera blocks unwanted light from getting into the eye. The cornea is another form of protection as well as tears and the eyelids. The clear jelly inside of the eye (vitreous humor) helps keep the shape of the eye. The retina sends messages to the brain. The eye has many important parts.

Change is normal. Normal is change.

Living in space is very different from living here on Earth. The biggest difference is that there is no gravity in space. Eating, clothing, and working in space can be difficult on the mission because of the loss of gravity. Astronauts have to get used to floating around, being strapped down to sleep, and having to go to the bathroom using a vacuum. In space, eating and drinking is relatively close to eating on Earth. Astronauts can eat most of their favorite foods bot with minor changes. For example, salt and pepper are in liquid form so what they would be eating would be a little bit wetter than usual. Water and things that they drink have to be adjusted, too. Many things have to be recycled so they purify their sweat and use it as water. It may seem unsanitary but it is a very practical way to get water that you can drink. While astronauts are in the space shuttle they usually wear normal outfits but with the NASA logo on them. They have no washing machine aboard the shuttle so they don't change clothes everyday. This is another way to conserve energy, time, and space. While the astronauts are on the launch pad they are wearing bright, puffy, orange space suits. The space suits protect them in case of an emergency during launch (gas leak, ice buildup, etc ). While they are working outside of the spaceship (in space) they are wearing big, puffy, white space suits that have oxygen tanks on the back of them. These suits are also designed to make the astronauts comfortable temperature wise. Space outfits are very reliable and efficient for the astronauts. Working in space is very technical. It takes years and years of training. Engineers are usually people that have the best chance to go on a space mission. While astronauts are in space they are usually repairing or building the International Space Station. Scientists are also chosen to go into space. They conduct experiments while they are up in space and then the results are used on Earth. Even medicines have been discovered in space! In conclusion, living in space is a lot different than living on Earth. Even when you go up for only short periods of time, it can be very difficult. Astronauts have to adjust to the food and the clothes and the work can be hard and challenging mostly because of the loss of gravity.

Recently, we had the Moon rocks in our classroom.

The Rock Cycle

            A while back when I first started out as a rock I was in burning hot magma. Then I went through consolidation and all of a sudden I was an extrusive igneous rock. Then I was weathered by years of corrosion. Then I went through transportation, deposition, and lithification. I was finally a sedimentary rock! Then I went through metamorphism and I was a metaphoric rock. Then one day I melted and turned back into magma. I then crystallized and became an intrusive igneous rock. After that I went through metamorphism and became a metaphoric rock again. Then I melted and became magma for the third time. . Then I went through consolidation and all of a sudden I was an extrusive igneous rock again. Then I went through metamorphism and I was a metaphoric rock for the third time.

The equinox is when summer turns into fall. The earth is at a 23 1/2 degree tilt. The seasons change depending on which hemisphere the sun is facing. 1: It is winter in the northern hemisphere because the North Pole is facing away from the sun. It is summer in the southern hemisphere because the sun is facing the Tropic of Capricorn. 2: It is vernal in the northern hemisphere and it is autumnal in the southern hemisphere because the sun is directly over the Equator. 3: It is summer in the northern hemisphere and it is winter in the southern hemisphere because the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer 4: It is autumnal in the northern hemisphere and it is vernal in the southern hemisphere because the sun is directly over the equator.
