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)
