The Stars - Blog Entry

1. What is a star?
   The star has different temperature, luminosity
, size, color, ages, spectral class and star type.



























2. Type of stars

   The star type has White Dwarfs, Main Sequence, Giants, Supergiants.
3. H-R Diagram

   The H-R Diagram is astronomers graphical the stars luminosity; spectral type; color; temperature and change stage.
4. Nuclear Fusion


This is usually accompanied by the release or absorption of large quantities of energy. Fusion is the process that powers active stars, the hydrogen bomb and experimental devices examining fusion power for electrical generation


5. The life cycle of a star



A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas.

Hurricane Irene Project

Critical Thinking


1: What is a hurricane?
      Hurricane is a large rotating strong winds and winds.

2: What is a high tide and what causes it?
      The high and low tide are two time for each day; The tides causes are moon, sun and earth from a right angle or line up in one row; the movement of the moon around the earth, the gravity of the moon.

3: What does saturation (zone) mean?
              Saturation zone is filled with water. the groundwater have a saturation zone. If the water more than saturation zone, the water will be come out to the flood, so has flooding.

4: What is flooding and why is it dangerous?
      The flooding is a large water come out the riverbanks. flooding is dangerous, because has a large water come  out to the flood, if has too much water the people will be die.

REFLECTION:

1: what is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
      I like do the groundwater project. because i can know about where is groundwater from and what is effects for groundwater.

2: what was difficult for you on this project?
     In this project tides is difficult.

3: what would you change about you work on this project?
    I change my think, because when i don't learn this project, i think the groundwater is from the ocean.

4: how did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
    I learn the why has hurricane.
