Keagan's space focus questions

space focus questions how are craters formed & how does lighting form on Jupiter.


How does lightening form on Jupiter.
Materials: Scissors ruler sheet of thin plastic and 100% wool.
Event: When you pull the plastic and it makes light from friction experiment failed.
Value claim: ?
Knowledge claim: The storms are caused by the planets heat.
Data outline: The ligntining on Jupiter happens from the heat of the planet rather than the sun's heat, experiment failed.

How do craters form.
Materials: Ball, bowl, flour.
Event: Craters being formed by asteroids hitting he surface of the moon.
Value claim: I think it is cool.
Knowledge claim: It is when an asteroid hits a planet.
Data outline: Asteroids, planets, craters.

_WHAT IS A WHITE HOLE?_

A white hole is the opposite of a black hole and it spews out matter.

_WHY ARE JUPITERS CLOUDS COLORED?_

Jupiter's clouds are colored because they're made of ammonia and the sun rays change the chemicals in the clouds which change the colors.

Jupiters Rings- Investigation 3

Jupiter's rings are made from asteroids hitting jupiters smaller moons Thebe, Adrastea,And Metis.There are three rings: The inner most is the halo ring this ring is cloud like. Next is the middle ring this one is called the Main ring, this ring is narrow and thin. Last we have the gossamer ring. The Gossamer is made up of two parts: the Thebe Gossamer And the Amalthea Gossamer. This ring is wispy and almost transparent. The Thebe Gossamer is the outer most ring. The inner ring is made from the outer rings realeasing dust and rocks.

_WHAT IS A RED GIANT?_

A red giant is a star with low temperature and a mass relative to the sun.

What Is A Geomagnentic Storm- Investigation 2

A geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance in Earth's Magnetosphere caused by space weathe. Associated with coronal mass injections, coronal holes, or solar flares.

_WHAT IS A SUPERNOVA_

A supernova is a star that explodes and becomes lominous.

What Cause A Meteor Shower - Investigation 1

When comet's and asteroids leave debris in Earths orbit path around the sun. When this Debris enters earths atmosphere it blows up cause lights in the sky. We call these lights ' meteor showers "

_HOW FAST DOES A SHOOTING STAR GO_?

Meteors can go from 25,000-125,000 miles per hour.

Sabrina's Space Study

How did Orion get its name?

Orion got its name from a Greek Mythology Hunter and was brought to the stars by Artemis. She was tricked into killing him. Orion is nicknamed "The Hunter." If you look at the sky at night, look for the constellation Orion. It is shaped like "Orion the Hunter." In conclusion, we will always remember Orion because of how the constellation got its name.

How do you see Saturn through its rings?

You can see Saturn through its rings because it has gaps. They might me minuscule but they are still making a view to see Saturn.

What are gas giants?

Gas giants are large planets that have cores and gases. They are called "Jovian". In conclusion, they are made up of multiple gases.

WHAT IS A WHITE DAWRF?

A white darf is a star that has used up all of it's nuclear fuel.

Stephen's space study

Investigation 1
Focus Question: What is a Lunar Eclipse

Knowledge Claim: A Lunar Eclipse is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are all aliened



Investigation2
Focus Question: What are Parsecs

Knowledge Claim: a Parsec is light years in space travel. A Parsec is about 30.857 pedometers



Investigation 3
Focus Question: What is a Parallax


Knowledge Claim: A Parallax is two different lines of sight



Investigation 4
Focus Question: How are type 2 Supernovas formed


Knowledge Claim: Type 2 Supernovas are formed in the core of a star


Investigation 5
Focus Question: Why a Comets tail points away from the Sun

Knowledge Claim: The Sun solar winds keeps a comets tail facing the other direction

VEE maps one, two and three

My first focus question was "what is a total eclipse". After some research I was able to write my knowledge claim. It read "it is a time when something other then the moon blocks the sun's light".

My second focus question was "what is the warmest type of star". I found some good information and wrote my knowledge claim as such: "blue hypergaints are the warmest type of star, reaching 40,000 oC or higher".

My last focus question was "what is a solar flare". This one was harder but I did it and I have made a knowledge claim: "it is a explosion of gases do to magnetic fields on the sun".

The Experiment

The vinegar corrodes and oxidised the iron fillings. The iron fillings make a pattern around the magnetic field.
