i think my favorite thing to study this year in science was astronomy. it was really interesting learning about how the planets came to be and the reason why and how they circle around our sun. we were able to learn how gravity and velocity affects the planets motions in our atmospheres. we also learned what the planets were mostly made of and why they have such weird structures. Another thing we covered was the sun. we learned about how stars form and how they die and what can happen to it when it dies. I think the most fun expierement we did with this subject was when we played with the planets and the sun on the computer. we were able to change the velocity, mass and distance and we learned how it affected it rotations around the sun.
I also enjoyed learning about weathering and erosion. i learned about how over time, water can do a lot of damage to rock, so can wind. i enjoyed learning about how much dmage the wind and water can do, i found it sort of interesting and it always made me want to read on and learn more. One of the interesting projects we did with this was the little podcast we had to put together. it gave me chance to learn more information and i was able to work with somone i hardly ever talked to befor so overall it was pretty fun.
Another subject we did was the earth atmosphere. During this subject, we were ab;e to learn the multiple layers of the atmosphere and how they all had special jobs/characteristics. it was interesting to know how the ozone layer had a giant hole in it and how it helps protect earth. it was really fun to do the little projects on the computer where we had to make pictures/ diagrams. we also learned about how therew were so many satalites in the sky above us.
We learned about Earths Water. That was a fun subject to do, we were able to learn about how water is formed and how it is one of the strongest things on earth. we learned about how it alows creatures like water spiders to be able to walk on it. i learned that water can disolve almost anything on earth. i learned that 97 percent of water in in the ocean and i also learned how water gets cleaned and how we reuse it over and over again. i thought when we did the project on where does out water come from was pretty interesting and i was able to find out where my water came from and how it gets clean.
Overall this year has been a blast. im glad i was able to expierence this and i hope to continue learning about astronomy next year. :)
