Neogene Period

Summary
The Neogene period was begin in 24 mya, it's end in 1.8 mya. The epoch in Neogene were Pliocene and Miocene. Many large carnivorous mammals lived on Neogene period. There were abundant grazing mammals. Those mammals including the first hominids, Megalodon, horses, dogs and bears etc.

Reflection
1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
    I enjoy about is creative. We can create our own glog or video.

2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?
    The most challenging about this project is to find information by my own. Because it's difficult to read all of thing to find the most important part.

3. What you change about this project and why?
    Next time may be work with some else, with a partner.

4. What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
    I learn the period Neogene is 24-1.8 mya, many carnivorous mammals lived and forests become grassland in Neogene period.

THE STARS

       A star is a large ball made of hot gas. The name of the hot gas called stellar nebula.
     The types of stars are white drawrfs (there are old, small, medium temperature, dim stars), main sequence, (are middle age, has all the size, temperature, luminosity, colors, and spectral class stars), super giants (are middle age, large, bright stars), and giants.
     H-R diagram is a graphical tool; uses to stars classified are ages (the star is young or old), size (the star is big or small), temperature (the star is hot or cool like 2,000-30,000), luminosity (the star is bright or dim like 0.0001-1,000,000), color (the stars’ colors are red, orange, yellow, white, blue-white and blue), and spectral class (a letter tells the star temperature like OBAFGKM).
       A star made of a gas called stellar nebula. The will get smaller because of gravity. When it is hot enough, nuclear reactions starting and a star is born. A star change two hydrogen gas molecules into a helium molecule this process called Nuclear Fusion. Nuclear Fusion creates energy.
H = Hydrogen   He = Helium

H + H = He + Energy

There are three type of stars' life. Sun-like stars get smaller is red giants, get more smaller is
planetary nebula, became white dwarf then black dwarf. Huge stars get smaller became red supergiant, than supernova, neutro star is last. Giant is the black hole at last.

Hurricane Irene Project


Critical Thinking                                                      

1.What is a hurricane?
  Hurricane is tropical storm with very strong winds.

2.What is a high tide and what causes it?
  The moon goes around the earth when the sun and the moon at the same line, the water level should be very high or low.

3.What does saturation (zone) mean?
  Saturation means when something is made completely wet.

4.What is flooding and why is it dangerous?
  Flooding is a place covered by water. Flooding bring too much water, it make economic loss and many people homeless; some people die when is flooding.

Reflection
1.What is something that you like about this Mini-Project?
  This Mini-Project that I like is created a blog to help learning hurricane.

2.What was difficult for you on this project?
  It was use own word. 

3.What would you change about your work on this project?
  Everything is good.


4.How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
  This project use our own word to answer those questions is  good to help remember.
