4q #4

1. What made the Big Bang "bang?" In other words, why didn't the universe just stay in a tiny little sphere the size of a golfball? More details = more points.
2. What do you think would happen if you went into a black hole? Scientists only know what happens until you get to the event horizon. Anything beyond that is really just an educated guess. More details = more points.
3. Tell me what you think about worm holes? When you pass through one, where do you go? WHEN do you go? More details = more points.

1. I think the Big Bang went Boom because like many things the universe is caught in a cycle. The cycle at some point goes boom, then it expands to the farthest reaches possible, and then retracts until the size of about a golfball, and then repeats.

2. I think if a person were to enter a blackhole that they would survive actually be put into like a vacume bag along with all other absorbed things inside the black hole while it destroys one universe, and creates another.

3. I think wormholes are tears in the timespace continueum, and they allow those using them to traverse all distance and time so long as they dont alter the past, present, or future.

4q #6

1. What was your favorite Geology topic this year? Why?

2. What was your favorite Meteorology topic this year? Why?

3. What was your favorite Astronomy topic this year? Why? (Include a picture for #1, #2, OR #3)

4. What grade do you think you earned on the Final Exam? What did you do to prepare? Is there anything that you wish you had done differently?

1. My favorite Geology time this year was when we were learning about minerals and you gave us rocks to eat, and I liked it most because free food.

2. My favorite Meteorology topic this year was the clouds because it was my first recession style field trip.

3. My favorite Astronomy topic this year was learning about black holes because black holes can destroy anything.

4. I think I got like a 94 because I got arrogant and didn't study. I should have studied.

4q #5

4q #3

1. What are the four ways scientists can detect planets?
2. Which way makes the most sense to you? Explain it.
3. Explain the concept of the "Goldilocks Zone."
4. If Gilese 581c does have life, what do you think it would look like? How would it act? Would it be intelligent?
5. Do you believe in aliens? Why or why not? Give me a solid paragraph.

1. Radial Velocity, Astrometry, Transit Method, Optical Detection
2. Astrometry because it is essentially using geometry for space problems.
3. The area in space where everything is just right to sustain life.
4. I think it would look like mutated fish, be semi intelligent, and act surprised to see us.
5. I beleive in Aliens. I have grown up with the idea firmly in my head that aliens exist. When I was young I watched a lot of Star Wars, and Star Trek. I have always wanted to meet another life form , but i dont think they will in any way resemble what we know.

4q #2

1. What is the primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres?
2. What is the primary gas in Mars and Venus?
3. If you had to visit one planet, which would it be? Why? Give me a solid paragraph. (consider many factors such as location, temperature, atmosphere composition, and anything else you you feel is important)


1. Hydrogen
2.Carbon Dioxide
3.If i had to go to a planet I would go to Venus. Venus is like the Earth in many ways often including that it is considered its twin. They both have decent percentages of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen. It also would be the least change in temperature, and the shortest trip.

4q #1

1.Dark matter- Evidence for missing mass in galaxies. Dark matter is considered the missing mass within an area. It is apparently formed when dark energy particles collide they take electrons and positrons. Apparently it makes up about 25 percent of the universe's energy density

2.Dark energy- A mysterious force that is accelerating the growing of the universe. Some beleive that it halts the dark matter from expanding. With ever increasing technology we are slowly gaining the ability to see dark energy and dark matter. Apparently it will become key in reversing gravitational build up to stop the universe from tearing itself appart.

3.Search for aliens (SETI)- The search for aliens is always going to be a human objective. Just like with how humans search for new species of life on Earth we will search the farthest reaches of space to fint Extra Terrestrials. I think we will try anything from radio communications to personal meetings and beyond.

4.Mars- Mars is the red planet. It is one of Earth's nearest neighbors, and is the farthest terrestrial planet in our solar system. Once beleived to hold life Mars is a barren wasteland.

5.The Moon- The moon is something that has fascinated the people of earth for centuries. It is trapped in the earth's gravitaional field, and takes about 30 days for a full circulation. This is one of the few space items that human beings have landed on. The first contact with the moon was when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon's surface in the early 1960s or late 1950's.

3q 6

1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why?

2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.

3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs? (Keep in mind some basic math. If you only did 3 out of 6 of them you cannot earn above a 50%.)

1. This blog is my favorite because it is the last one of the quarter.

2. I enjoyed learning about tornados the most because they blow stuff up

3.I deserve around a 90 because i did all of my blogs, but not all of them are in complete thoughts
