Weekly Blog Post - "Galaxies" (4|23|18 - 4|29|18)

Summary: During this week, I learned... nothing again. We went over the different types of galaxies, such as spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, peculiar galaxies, and irregular galaxies. (The galaxy shown is the Sombrero Galaxy and is a spiral galaxy.) I know that spiral galaxies have spiraling arms, hence the name spiral galaxy. I also know that the Milky Way is a spiral galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy is also a spiral galaxy and is nearly like the Milky Way except that it has many more stars.

 SP1: Asking questions and defining problems. I asked questions such as, "Why are comets and asteroids discovered when they are far from our sun?" and "What is the density of a black hole?" I asked other question such as, "Will the universe go back to nothing? Will that event be called the Big Crunch?"

Late! Project Blog Post

Image
This is a picture of our Charity Fair Project Summary: What I learned was about our Carbon Footprint. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person or a group.  Backward-Looking: To be honest, I really didn't know much about a Carbon Footprint. It wasn't until my teacher explained to us what a carbon footprint was until I really started to understand. If my teacher didn't explain what a carbon footprint was, and someone came up to me and asked, "I know what a carbon footprint is. Do you?" Then I'd probably be all like, "What on earth is a carbon footprint?" Inward-Looking: I thought that the carbon footprint was a bit too complicated for me, but I managed it with the help of my other teammates. I don't really understand why I would dislike some parts because it seemed fine to me.   Outward-Looking:  The grade I would give myself is an ...
