As you know, the solar eclipse this Monday is a unique teaching opportunity. NASA a full range of activities and projects to help students and teachers experience "Eclipsapalooza". Out of concern for not being able to monitor the safety of all students viewing the eclipse properly, only middle school students in grades 5 through 8 will be experience viewing the event happening from 11:40-1:09. In addition, those students must have solar eclipse approved sun glasses and signed parent permission waivers.
PreK 4 year olds through 4th grade students will remain inside during this time and can learn about it in their classroom without going outside to view the event. Looking at a solar eclipse without special approved sun glasses can be damaging
Recently Pluto was declassified as a planet leaving only eight planets in Earth’s solar system. There were many mixed feelings about the declassification. Many people were happy because they thought pluto should have never been considered a planet in the first place. People thought that pluto was far to small and too far away to be a planet in the first place, over shadowed by the much larger nearer planets to it. Meanwhile other people were distraught at the thought that NASA could take Pluto’s title as a planet away that easily. Growing up with being taught about Pluto as a planet and learning so much about it many people were offended that the title of planet was striped from Pluto.
Educational programming includes activities ranging from Mad Science presentations, karaoke, opportunities for private academic tutoring, and more. Further augmenting the educational experience provided at The Heritage Learning Center, students will create art, do science experiments, and create their own snacks to eat. Truly, The Heritage Learning Center understands that education does not stop during summer recess, that learning and engaging with the world is always occurring, and the summer is a fantastic opportunity to get children excited about learning, academics, and their
Moon Shadow is a 8 year old boy who lives in China with his mom and grandma.Once his grandma told him a story about his grandfather who had been lyched during a war.Then Moonshadow wanted to know about Golden Mountain but his mom and grandma did not want to tell him. Then later on HandClap came with a letter from Windrider which is Moonshadow’s dad.Then they had tea when he came. So then Handclap said if he can come to America to see his dad. When he went he was only 8 but by the Tang peoples method they said he was 7.There is a company there that belongs to the Peach Orchard. The people work there are Uncle Bright Star,Windrider,White deer,and now Moonshadow. His hands were mining the streams of gold. They said the guy was in his eighties
15.“Restricted, as a child, to this cocoon of her family’s spinning, she cultivated quiet and private pleasures” (Morrison 111).
Questions like how life exists beyond our solar system or under Jupiter’s icy crust have been theorized as the discoveries of Jupiter continue. According to the article, water vapor has observed on one of Jupiter’s moon, Europa. A probe called “Juice” will be launched in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The mission would also determine if there are oceans on Jupiter, including how deep they are. However, there are some challenges Juice will have to face such as the ability to generate enough energy, the materials it is made out of that would have to withstand the forces of deceleration, and to shield itself from the intense magnetic field around Jupiter. Therefore, when Juice is completely built and launched,
"Heritage" is defined as the customs and traditions that are handed down from generation to generation of families and society. A person with Latino heritage is a descendant of a family from Mexico, Central America, or South America. Peeps who are Hispanic are from a country where Spanish is spoken. Let's check out some of their traditions.
around their bulky television screens. It was 1969, America had recently passed through the height of the Cold War, but their relationship with the Soviet Union continued to become more hostile. There was no clear winner in sight, and America was desperate for a definitive victory, it was this moment, in this very moment that they finally had one, and they clung to it. This moment was, of course, the Apollo 11 moon landing on the 20th of July, 1969. However, as with many famous events captured in the public eye, it wasn't long before conspiracies began to unfold. Some began to question the validity of the photographs and videos associated with the moon landings, others made claims that the government couldn’t possibly have had the technology necessary to successfully land on the moon, and some even went as far as to point out the exact set and director that supposedly filmed the hoaxed moon landings. I first became aware of the conspiracy surrounding the moon landings about two years ago when I watched a documentary on the topic and naturally, being the patriotic American that I am, I sided with NASA without considering any evidence on either side of the argument, but recently, the topic was brought up in conversation and it stuck an interest within me. So in this essay I will throw my preconceived notions out the metaphorical window, and I will attempt an unbiased investigation to find out where my
The time i spent with him was my favorite. I remember every detail of each individual memory, but my favorite memories were the Autumn memories. The pumpkin patch, the fair, haunted houses, etc. I love our fair memory. We had just gotten back from eating at mcdonalds, we stopped at starbucks and picked up a Autumn themed latte. We got back to his house and laid on the cool ground with the multi-colored leaves surrounding us while we looked up at the pale yet mesmerizing sky with moving clouds.
It was predicted by Bill Kaysing that the likihood of sending a man to the moon and back were low because of the micro meters and radiation that may cause harm a human. Not even two years later, President J. F. Kennedy gave a speech reporting that he will designate the country with plenty of resources to land a person on the moon before the decade was out. Two years shy of a decade later, the Apollo 11 took off to the moon with three people aboard, who were Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins. In July of 1969, these were the first people to ever land on the moon and walk on the moon. Many people have taken their own opinion about what actually happened. Persuasive evidence was discovered and the people have doubted that America

Solar energy and its use isn’t new to the world. It has been used by various societies beginning from 7thCentury B.C, when the sun’s heat was concentrated by glass and mirrors to light fires. Today, we have everything from solar-powered buildings to solar-powered vehicles. By and large solar technology has some environmental, economic, psychological and ethical implications for our society. Actions taken by companies and individuals to increase the use of solar technology will create good local jobs, improve our environment and reduce our dependence on foreign oil while doing what’s ethical and moral for our society.
1. What is the mission of Namaste Solar? How does the mission reflect the company’s values? Explain.
Storms in space could have a devastating effect on our society. Solar storms are a result of solar flares and are electromagnetic in nature. They are capable of causing power outages and halting all types of communication, including; electronic pagers; radio and television broadcasts; credit card transactions; military communications; etc.
Solar energy is the most ancient kind of energy found on earth, for it is as old as the sun. "Solar" means from the sun. The earth is only one of the many planets which is bathed in the sun's overflowing energy. Every second the world receives 95.8 trillion watts of power…just think about that for a minute. Think about how much power the earth just received in the time it took you to read this sentence? It is well beyond the amount of power used in one day. It has the potential to satisfy all our energy needs forever without ever having to use the pollutive fossil fuels ever again. "The problem however, does not lie in the limited source, as do fossil fuels, but in harnessing
Abstract: The current energy situation with fossil fuels as the main source of the world’s energy has two main flaws: fossil fuels contribute to global warming via the greenhouse effect and they are limited in the quantity that remains. Solar power solves both of these problems and can be captured by utilizing photovoltaic cells. However, photovoltaic cells have their own drawbacks due to their high costs of installation and maintenance.
