Good Bye For Good........Maybe.

This will be my last post of science. But before I leave I'm going to talk or write about what my favorite activities were in each big topic. Astronomy, Weather and Climate (Earth's Atmosphere), Geology, Weathering and Erosion, and Earth's Waters. My favorite part in astronomy was learning about the stars and the sun, because I didn't know much about the sun and stars. And I learned all of the characteristics of stars, the color, brightness, size, temperature, and composition. I also learned that the sun has 5 layers including the corona and core. I think the sun is so interesting because it's so big and it heats or Earth so well. And think the stars are so cool because even though they're only gas and other particles they look so beautiful at night.

When our class studied weather and climate my favorite part of studying it was learning about all the layers of the atmosphere. I thought there was only one, which was the atmosphere including space. I didn't know that there were 4 layers! There's the thermoshpere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and the troposphere. All of the layers have something special about them and it was so cool to learn about them. But they do have some weird names, I mean why can't it be 1st layer, 2nd layer, 3rd layer, and 4th layer?

Leaning about volcanoes, rocks, layers, of the Earth, etc. Was very interesting, I mean who knew that there was sedimentary rocks, metamorphic, and igneous. My favorite part about this section was learning about all the different types of rock. My favorite of them all is Obsidian, I don't know why but it just looks really pretty. And I'm just really fascinated at the process that makes the different kinds of rocks. It's amazing!

Weathering and erosion was an interesting topic. I mean I thought glaciers and the podcast was pretty cool. I really liked doing the podcast. It was fun and it was different then the usual class work we do. Plus I love working on the computers and learning new things. Even though some of it was difficult and we really had to rush our project. It came out great and I really though we did good.

Learning about Earth's waters was pretty easy. But I really liked it! My favorite part in this section was wetlands. I didn't know how much wildlife lived in them and why they're so important. It was really cool to learn about all the species. But it was very depressing to learn about what people are doing to them and that they're destroying them. But also very interesting to learn what I can do and what other people are doing to trey and save them.

Well this probably is my last post. So I'll say good bye now. Good bye now.
