Is the Earth flat? Many Scientists knew the Earth was round centuries before humans took the journey into space. The Greek astronomer, Eratosthenes in 200 B.C was aware that at noon on the first day of summer, the sun in one city in Egypt passed directly overhead. However, on the same day in another city in Egypt, vertical objects cast a shadow of seven degrees. If the Earth were flat, this observation would’ve been hard to understand. But if the Earth were round, Eratosthenes reasoned, you could

INVESTIGATION PLAN PROBLEM What causes the phases of the moon? Another question is, “How does the phase of the moon affect the amount of stars visible in the night sky?” HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the phase of the moon is because when the sun’s rays hit different parts of the moon different “shapes” appear. A second hypothesis is since the moon reflects the sun’s light, the phase of the moon effects the number of stars visible in the dark sky. PROCEDURE To begin this experiment, I will

The widely believed claim that the moon has physiological effects on humans or other living organisms on Earth is known as the ‘Lunar Effect’. One popular belief stemmed from this topic is that the 29.5-day lunar cycle somehow has a relationship with fertility and the roughly 28-day human menstrual cycle. In the article titled ‘Does The Solar Eclipse Affect Your Period? Some Women Say It Really Does’, it is suggested that some women experienced ‘strange’ symptoms of their periods during the Solar

New Moon Magick: Initiation The New Moon has a more inward feel than the Full Moon. The New Moon has a void or empty quality, and therefore can be frightening to those not comfortable with uncertainty. Can you learn to trust the dark? It's the moment when the old passes away and the new is not yet here. That's why it's a powerful time for sending out your prayer, wishes, desires to the Universe. New Moon workings can be done from the day of the New Moon to three-and-a-half days after. The New Moon

Name: Lunar Phase Simulator – Student Guide Part I: Background Material Answer the following questions after reviewing the background pages for the simulator. Page 1 – Introduction to Moon Phases Is there a dark side of the moon? (Note: this question can be effectively answered either yes or no, so it is important to explain your reasoning.) Some people refer to the side of the moon that we never see from Earth as the dark side. However, this is inaccurate since the far side is not always

As spring approaches, the citizens of the rural, southwest town I call home prepare empty plots of dirt for gardening. That includes my own home. My mother is a gardening fiend. She plots out her garden months in advance, orders the fertilizer, and preps the tiller, all before the snow has even had a chance to melt. We 've grown everything, from simple squash plants to more complex green bean poles. I have many fond, and not so fond, learning experiences in the gardens of my past. (What are you

“It was a cold January night, a full moon hung in the night sky, uncovering what couldn’t be hidden in that illuminating light, shining so revealingly bright once a month. From the shadows came out 22 women, but when the moon captured them with its beams of light, their innocent faces now bore a smile of vengeance. One by one, the moon revealed the fire in their eyes. All of them wore a white woolen veil, and they walked as one. They circled two young men walking down the street, and forced them

Would you rather be a domesticated cat that’s taken care of, or a wild cat that’s free and independent? This paper will be comparing the poems, “The Golden Cat” by Oliver Herford and “The Cat and the Moon.” By William Butler Yeats. First I will be comparing the nature that the cats are referred to. In the first poem, “The Golden Cat” Oliver Herford describes the cat as a “sun.” Here are some reasons why I think he’s referring the cat to the sun. My first piece of evidence that the cat is referred
