Thursday 24, 2011




On Thursday’s science class the first thing we did was look at the homework that was due. Ms. D made sure that we understand what we needed to do by going over it.

Tuesday- Apod #3

- Phases and Eclipses lab

Thursday- Reflection post

- Send someone outside of the AISZ community an email with the link to our blog. Make sure to CC Ms.D in it.

All the homework that is due is also on moodle. This picture above shows Cernan Flanked on the moon


After that, Ms. D checked our homework that was due on Thursday, which was:

-How many Apollo missions were there to the moon?

  • There were 6 Apollo missions to the moon, but 17 in total.

-How many men officially walked on the moon?

  • 12 men have officially walked on the moon.
  • Ms.D also wanted us to remember these two people: Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin(Buzz)
  • Neil Armstrong: one small step for man, one giant leap for man kind

Another thing that we talked about in class was the ISS and the space shuttle program. The ISS( International Space Station) is a working and living environment. We also talked about that the space shuttle program ends this year.

We ended the class with the Phases and Eclipses Lab. The teams finished drawing the pictures and some even went to the computer lab to finish the summery.

We had had to include 8 drawing of the moon, one of a lunar eclipse and one of a solar eclipse in the lab.(new moon, waxing crescent moon, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous moon, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter/ third quarter moon, waning crescent, lunar eclipse, solar eclipse)

  1. Hi Antonia!
    I like this post! You talked a lot about the ISS and the homework. Some things you could have changed are using more color; Two isn't really enough. You could have also added a link except for to Moodle and you could have explained the phases and eclipses more. I like your picture of the man on the Moon and that it had a caption, although you could have added another one. All in all, this post was pretty good! :)

  2. Hi there Antonia,
    Nice Post! You included what you did in class and you explained it briefly but thoroughly. You had a great picture and a caption for it, but you could have added a few more to make your post look better and be more interesting. You talked (as Viktor said) a lot about the ISS and your homework, which is good but not always enough. You also could have put a few more colors in your post, since it looks a bit dull. Your font is good and easy to read. You put a link to Moodle, which is great, but a few more "fun" links or a video explaining what was going on in class would have been helpful. You also could have put another link to Moodle that showed the homework that was due Thursday. Overall, though, great post, and keep up the good work!

  3. Antonia - In this post your spelling, grammar and sentence structure look good; plus you have organized it well. But you have not included all of the necessary requirements. I like the picture you have chosen, but it should be captioned and there should be more than one. In your writing be sure to refer to the picture you choose so readers know why you have included it. You have successfully liked to Moodle, but needed to include at least another hyperlink to something related to what we were working on. Your information is clear, but not in-depth enough about the Phases & Eclipses (pictures? links? definitions?), APOD and the ISS. I really think this is good start, but a bit too basic at this point for a scribe post. ~Ms. D.

  5. Hey Antonia!
    The post is good and organized. Although you don't have many pictures, the one you do have is great and goes along well with the subject. Your labels look fine, but you maybe could have used more of a variety of color, and maybe more links. It's good you included the homework but also could have typed a more specific explanation of the ISS and APOD. Although this post is a bit brief, it covers what you did in class really well.

  6. Hi Antonia,
    This overall was a good post, but there are some things needed to make it great. First of all, I think the post needs more color. It makes the post dreary and a bit unatractive. You also should have put some more links besides the one to moodle, like a youtube video or a website. Finally, like Nathan said, you could have explained APOD and ISS more thoroughly. For good things, your labels were correct. You didn't have any spelling or grammar mistakes either. It is organized and the picture is relevant to what you guys are learning about. Finally, It was good how you listed the homework.
    Good post, but needs more for next time (if we do scribing anymore).
