Summary: This week we learned about multiple subjects, two of them were meteor showers and black holes. What I learned about meteor showers was that they happen when a large meteor enters our atmosphere and when it passes through our skies it creates streaks of light. I also learned that when meteors reach the ground, they are called meteorites. One more thing I learned about meteor showers is that there are 95 types of meteors and 2 main types of stony meteorites. For black holes I learned that a black hole forms by cores and the energy produced is dwarfed by gravity. I also learned the three parts of a black hole, the event horizon which is the border where nothing can return, the ergo sphere which is a field outside the event horizon and spins really fast due to the gravity of the black hole, and the singularity point which is the center of a black hole. Lastly I learned that when a black hole “consumes” things the gravity in the event horizon begins to distort and rip everything.
SP8: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information
A major practice of science is to communicate ideas and the results of inquiry—orally; in writing; with the use of tables, diagrams, graphs and equations; and by engaging in extended discussions with peers.
Did you present something to the class?
Yes this week I presented/taught the class about how elements react. We presented with a google slide first, then went outside and did an experiment. Lastly we went back inside and asked them questions based off of what we told them.
