I uploaded pictures and videos on to my nasa page. They were about since in hunger, robots, and carbon. It helped me to learn more about the things that they use in NASA. NASA would be a fun place to work because it doesn't just deal with the sky. The pictures on this site are very intersting. They show the sky, space, and other awesome types of things in the atmosphere. Here is my URL:

Space Blog
1st reading:
I learned that scientist really rely on the shape and size of stars. Not only their brightness. This is important to discover all different things in the sky,
I got a 67 on the quiz.
I foudn out how to do a star simulation.
2nd reading:
I read about the sun. I learned that the sun is dangerous in a few ways. You should not look directly into the sun. Also that there are sunspots in which are darker spots on the sun. Also I learned that the sun is just a giant star. It is very bright and it creates a lot of heat.
I got a 100% on the quiz.
I learned how to simulate with the sun by using a pair of binoculars.
3rd reading:
I read about Dark Energy. This is speeding up its expansion. It is a big suprise to astronomers. It creates expansion in the universe. It is a bunch of stored energy in the universe that truly does affect us.
33% on the quiz
The project is to see if we can identify objects in a dark room. I would be able to as some things are simple to identify. But on the other hand some things I wouldn't be able to bec ause I don't know everything about their shape and size.
4th Reading:
X-Ray detectors
This is used to determine the brightness in the stars and other items. It also collects different types of energy data. This would be very useful to the astronomers. If it wasn't for these detectors than they would have to do this in a different way.
Quiz: 67%
There is no try this on this ad. However I think that it would be fun to use one of these detectors to see what all you could learn out of it.

Nature trail Project
So far with my project I have gotten people recruited. I also have made signs, and advertised for the clean up. We talked with mrs. Towsley and learned more about natural and un natural plants. Soon I will know more that will help us out in making the trail a better place.
bio bottle
My bio bottle is ment to test the water temps and quality of a land area without light. I will also see the do of the bottle and what types of things grow without sunlight. So far I have gotten some grass, and my water temp is in the low 20's.
nature trail post
15 things i saw in the trail are:
mushrooms
leafs
poison ivy
birds
squirrls
people
alge
water
dirt
worms
a snake
insects
cat tails
and rocks.
The trail is important to eaton rapids because it helps habitat life. It gives the animals a place to live. Also is a good source of learning for students. If more people went there the trail would be amazing.

2 Climate issues
One thing I researched is global arming. I found out that some easy things such as reducing ho often you mo can help this problem. I also found out that it affects all different types of animals living causes them to die off if they cannot escape it.
Another thing I researched is hat makes our climate so differnt in michigan than south and found out it has to do ith ho mi is farther from the equator so it makes us have all seasons and since they are like right on it they get summer mainly.

Project Progress
My project is on the nature trail. I have not had much progress as it is cold out and need to give it time until spring to start it. This is because it is cold out and it isnt going to help. Other than that I have thought of things to do for in the spring for the project so that I can get something started. I have talked to some people about it and they are illing to help to do stuff in the trail. Also am aiting of information back about grant from olivet college.
