Science Experiment

Hey, Bloggers for Literacy this term is based on Space and Science. First, we had to get into pairs and get two beakers the same because otherwise, it will be uneven and not fair. Then we filled them both equally. After we put the solid one first and it took 1.23 seconds and the crushed up one took 37.97 seconds, so a big difference. The whole tablet would take longer because it had less surface area and the crushed up one had more surface area and it would take less time. Do you like doing experiments? Please comment if I need to improve on anything I would love the feedback. 

Aurora Art and Info

Hey Bloggers,
For Inquiry, we had to make an Aurora as a piece of art. First, we had to rip a piece of paper to make it look like a mountain range. After that, we had to get a paintbrush and flick white paint to make stars.  Then we had to use chalk pastels to make the Aurora and smudge it up the paper. Finally, we had to make the Matariki stars. Here is mine.

As early as 1616, the astronomer Galileo Galilei used the name aurora borealis to describe them, taking the name of the mythical Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the wind of the north, Boreas. The aurora australis, or the southern lights, occur around the south polar region. The northern lights are caused by collisions between fast-moving particles, from space and the oxygen and nitrogen gas in our atmosphere. Energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.
