Geologic Time - Mississippian Period

The Mississippian Period is started 360 to 325 million years ago. Mississippian period is when Crinoids, Corals and Brachiopods all develop successfully in the sea during the Mississippian period and the only vertebrate animals are the fishes and Amphibians. Mississippian marbles and limestones, filled with fossils of flower like invertebrates called Crinoids.




Project Reflection:


1. What did you enjoy most about this project?

 I like to make the video and I like that we can choose any music we want for video.

2. What was most challenging about this project? why?

 The most challenging about this project is making video because I never the video before.

3. What you change about this project and why?

 I change the due date of the project because we could do work slow and learn more about our periods.

4. What are 3 things that you learned from this project?

 I learned from this project is that how to make the Video, Glog and about the Mississippian period.

Stars

  What is a Star?




 Star is a large shining ball of very hot gas. they are very far from us so they look small but, Indeed some are bigger and brighter than the sun. stars have different colors and size. Stars are made in big clouds of dust and gas.
The gravity makes parts of clouds gets smaller when it shrinks it makes hotter and when it is hot enough the nuclear reaction start and then a star is born.

  Types of Star




 There are four  types of stars. There names are Main Sequence, Supergaints, Giants and white Dwarfs. There are three stages of stars Young Stars, Middle age Stars, and Old Stars. The yellow and red dwarf are young stars. the red giant, blue giant, super giant and main sequence stars are middle age stars and old stars is white dwarf.
There are different temperature of stars Hot stars, Medium stars and Cold stars Blue giant, White dwarf and Main sequence are hot stars. The yellow dwarf, Red giant and Main sequence are medium stars and cold stars are Red dwarf,Red giant and main sequence.Stars are grouped with their size, color, luminosity their temperature and their spectral class.

  H-R Diagram




A diagram that astronomers used to grouped stars according to their type. An H-R diagram that shows the characteristics of stars that tells different stages of stars, their sequence their colors size the surface temperature and the luminosity of the stars and tall about small stars to massive stars the names of the stars and the types of the stars.

 Nuclear Fusion




The nuclear has two molecules that are Hydrogen and Helium. A nuclear fusion is when the inside a star change two hydrogen into a helium molecule and then its make a star.This is how a star makes energy. The nuclear fusion creates an energy.

 The Life Cycle of a Star




The life of a star is stellar nebula the stars that born in giant cloud are stellar nebula and then the protostar A baby star. The three types of stars in the space are Sun like Stars, Huge Stars and Giant stars. The Sun like Stars are Red giant are bright stars, old stars and middle age stars. Planetary nebula are the form of a big cloud of dust and gases.White dwarf are white stars white dwarf is Old age star and white dwarf are small star it is hot star and Black dwarf star are cold and dark object.

The huge Stars are Red super giant, Supernova is the giant explosion of the star. Neutron Star when the star will again collapse after explosion and the Giant Stars are Red super giant, Supernove and Black hole are after the explosion the star will again collapse then it become black hole.

Hurricane Irene Project

 Critical Thinking

1.  What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
     
     The water temperature is warm sun heat the water into the ocean that is the creation of hurricane.

2. Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?

       There would be more damage because during the high tide the water level is high and water
        came out in the ocean.

3.  If the area is fully saturated, how will be more dangerous for an area?

     It is more dangerous because the area that is fully saturated the water comes out from the ground
      and trees blown down its effect on environment so it dangerous for an area.

4.  Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?

      Because its already filled with water and there be more flooding.


 Reflection

1.  What is something that you liked about this mini-Project?

      I like that i learned about Hurricane Irene in detail and working in my group.

2.   what was difficult for you on this project?

      To find some information and the vocabulary words.

3.   What would you change about your work on this project?

       I would use more vocabulary words and write good questions.
   
4.  How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
   
     The presentation help me to learn about all parts of Hurricane Irene. Before i don't know about the
      storm how does it happen.
