Maths Strategy

These are my Maths strategy that I used to answer these two equations.

The Phases Of The Moon

This is my Prezi about the phases of the moon. I made this presentation along with Jazmine, Halatoa and Evan. I made this very simple and easy to read because I have to present this to Room 1.

Stars Explanation

Why are stars only visible after sunset?

Where do the stars go during the day? Has that question ever crossed your mind? Stars are luminous points in the sky which are large balls of gas made of Hydrogen and Helium, the two lightest elements in the universe.

During the day the stars are still there, we just can’t see them because when our part of the Earth faces the sun, giving us daytime; the sun’s rays scatter across the atmosphere making the sky blue and the stars invisible to the naked human eye. For example: When you light a candle, it’s easier to see the glow in the dark than in the light.

According to global information, when the temperature of a cloud’s center reaches many millions of degrees centigrade (Celsius), Hydrogen Nuclei within the clouds start to collide with one another, they form Helium Nuclei. This is called Nuclear Fusion (Nuclear reaction), and huge amounts of energy are released; mostly heat.

Next, the center of the of the cloud starts to ‘burn’ and a star is born. After a new star is formed, energy produced by the Nuclear Fusion causes it to swell like a balloon. As long as this energy is balanced by gravity, the star will remain stable because just as the fusion causes the star to expand, gravitational energy tries to compress it. The stability can last for millions of years.

Did you know that the surface temperature of a star can range from 3,000 to over 50,000 Celsius? The surface temperature of a star will determine its colour; the cooler stars are red and the hotter stars are blue. The temperature also affects the brightness of a star, the hotter the star is, the brighter it will be.

Many minds never realize that the stars are still there, but they truly are. They’re not visible due to the rays received from the  sun making the sky blue. This causes the sky to be too bright for the stars to outshine the sky. Take into recognition that at night, we can see the stars because the sky isn’t bright, just a dull black canvas awaiting to be known of its existence behind the superior blue cloak.

This is my explanation about why stars aren't visible during the day.

My Special Friend

This is my explanation about what a special friend is.

Do you have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that, they are now one of the most special people in your life? A special friend is someone who is unique and different from everyone else. They accept you for you are, not what they want you to be. They respect, comfort and understand you when you are troubled or in doubt.

My special friend is Kapri, because she always makes me laugh and makes me less serious. She respects me and accepts me for who I am, despite the differences between us. Kapri makes me feel important and is honest with me, no matter how hard the truth is. She listens to me when I need someone to talk and get the weight off my shoulders. I always have Kapri’s shoulder to lean on and she always has mine.

Kapri is always helpful to me. She’s always kind and smiles at me under any circumstances. She has my back and I have her’s. Kapri always tries to cheer me up. She has emotional feelings and always tries to understand what I’m going through. She is different than anyone else I’ve met and I respect all that she does for me.

To have a special friend is always important because, you can have someone to count on and that they can count on you. Also because you can have someone to share your troubles and doubts with. Would you want someone in your life who is always there for you? I know I would!

Asmah, Kapri, Samantha & Dontailan: Collaborative Paragraph

Asmah, Kapri, Samantha & Dontailan

The sun is the center of our Solar System. We live on the third planet away from the sun called Earth. Over time as the universe has been going through phases of change, scientists have sent astronauts on space rockets for the idea of space exploration expedition. Research shows, that we have eight planets in our galaxy and more than a billion stars. It takes twelve hours  for the Earth to orbit the sun on its axis, giving us daytime. Stars are luminous points in the night sky made of gas called hydrogen and helium which expand when gravitational energy compresses them. Did you know that when we join stars together it forms a shape in the sky called constellations? Have you ever been told that during daytime the suns rays scatters across the atmosphere causing us to have a blue sky. As the Earth orbits the sun on its axis, the moon is the satellite of the Earth. As the astronaut is up in space they use technology such as space probes to gather information about the environment around them, so scientists can use the information to get a better understanding of our aging universe.

This is our paragraph on some words given to us by Mrs Anderson about space.
