What causes day and night?

Day and night are created as earth spins on her axis. Which ever side is

facing the sun, that side is day time but the side facing away from the sun

has night time. As we rotate around the sun, the earth also spins so we

change times. In one day and night, we have 24 hours.

What are shadows and how are shadows

formed?

Shadow is the darkness that one object causes when it try’s to block the

light from shining on an object. Light travels in straight lines so when

light shines on an object, it cannot pass through it. As a result, the shadow

of the object is formed.

LEM changes over time:

The first LEM design looked like a cone-shaped cabin top and folding

legs.

The second design included the idea of large curved windows and seats,

to improve the astronaut’s hover and landing. Soon there were heaps of

designs to save weight and improve safety. We used to use fuel cells but

know we use an all battery design.

Jokes:

1. How do we know Saturn has married more than once?

2. Which chocolate bars do you eat in space?

Do you think we should spend millions of dollars to explore

space?

More and more people are wondering the same question. Should we

spend millions of dollars to explore space? In this text you will make up

your mind. Which side are you going to be on?

Of course we should spend millions of dollars to explore space. Why,

space is an amazing thing for the following reasons. Stars, moons, planets, galaxies, comets and many more are waiting to be investigated.

For 40 years, we have tried to discover one question. Is there life on

Mars? Well, if we keep trying, we may soon find out.

Should we bother spending millions of dollars to explore space? Of

course not. It’s dangerous work and costs a lot. Not every one even likes

space so why should we bother investigating it. Even though we have

been trying to find out if there is life on Mars for 40 years, this doesn’t

mean we are going to succeed now when we failed for 40 years.



I think yes because we have the determination and technology to do it. I

believe we can succeed on finding life on Mars if only we try again.

Result:

I studied the shadows of a teddy.

My first angle created a big shadow behind the teddy. It was huge!

The second angle, my teddy only created a short shadow near his legs.

On my third angle, I made the poor teddy stand up! It created a tall one but when Itried the same angle again, it was the same.

My shadow experiment was very fun to do!
