WHEATHER FRONTS

Weather Fronts include:
Cool fronts
Warm fronts
Stationary fronts
and Occluded fronts
Cold Fronts
A cold front occurs when a rapidly moving cool air mass colloids with a slow moving warm one. The cold air sticks to the ground because its more dense. As the cool air sticks beneath, the warm air gets pushed up onto the cool air, causing a storm. After the cool air sticks there it turns warm and then more cool air comes in and takes its position.
Warm Fronts
A warm front is where a slow moving warm air mass colloids with a slow moving cool air mass, and since cool air is more dense, it stays low and pushes the warm air up top. Causing clouds, storms, and rain. if the warm air is humid showers are light and occur where the warm and cool air meet.
Stationary Fronts
Sometimes a warm and cool air mass meet but neither of them have enough force to push each other this is called a stationary front. Where the warm and cool air meet, water vapor in the warm air condenses into rain, snow, fog, or clouds and could last for days.
Occluded Fronts
This is the most complex front because warm air is caught between two cooler air masses, the denser cool air masses move underneath the less dense warn air. The cooler masses may mix, and the temperature gets cool on the ground. As the warm air condenses, the weather may turn cloud and rainy or snowy.

Atmospheric Factors Affecting Earth

MEH!! Click on the link above to get to my report!! :-)

OZONE

The Ozone is a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule, instead of just two. The Ozone protects us from harmful rays from the sun. But on the negative side, the Ozone can make a chemical reaction of certain carbon compounds. And that would be a pollution. If humans are exposed to this compound, it could cause;breathing problems, asthma, and eye irritation.
Ozone depletion is where chemicals produced by humans damage the ozone layer.what happens when the Ozone layer is destroyed? Well the Ozone blocks out harmful UV rays. If the UV rays get to Earth, Then it could harm us.

"London Smog"

The "London Smog" was way back i the day when London had lots of coal burning. In London England, it is dark and dirty, from factories burning, and houses warmed by coal. This is caused by coal burning. The consequences are, sickness, and death. How to prevent this from happening the English people started burning less coal and now London air is much clearer, cleaner, and healthier than it was 100 years ago.

Earths Atmosphere

Small meteorites burn up in Earths atmosphere. meteor that do get through, hit Earth, and make a crater, usually are lost throughout time. the Greek considered air, earth, fire, and water fundamental component's of the universe. Spectrometers were introduced in the 1920's allowing scientist to find gasses. a spectrometer is and instrument that measures the intensity of radiation including light as a function of wavelengths. Atmosphere also contains particular matter such as dust, volcanic ash, rain,and snow. Two important instruments for taking measurements are taking mesurments are called Galileo and Evangelista torrilecci.

Space Exporation

Summaries

The Science of Rockets was about how rockets are made and how they work. there are three stages to a rocket, Atlas, Centaur, and Payload. The Atlas uses both solid fuel boosters and liquid fuel engines to launch the Payload into space. The Centaur uses liquid fuel engines to maneuver into proper orbit. And lastly the Payload, the Payload is a satellite or spacecraft carried by the rocket.

The Space Program was about NASA, NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA has made a few landings on moon and trips to outer space. NASA had a launch that went bad when a oxygen tank was disabled. Mission Control sent a LM to pilot the CM. Evan though this incident happen NASA said that wont effect there ideas about going to the moon and other missions up there.

Exploring Space today was about a Satellite that is robot controlled that they can send up yo space so that they don't have to rick lives. this robot satellite can tell temperature, pressure, and air quality. it also has a videophone.

Using Space Science on Earth, was all about how much it cost to go up into space. It doesn't cost much for about 1 dollar each time they make a mission up to space. and they get about 7 dollars back because the more they get the chance to go up to space they find new things there that can make civilization easy on the Moon.

zoom zoom zoom

The book Zoom is pretty much observing a object that looks like nothing and predicting what it is, then zooming out from that object to see what it really is. then you can see if your prediction was correct. All my inference's have a prediction of what the object I'm observing is. And then it has the actual object that we were looking at. All of this has to do with perspective.I was looking at all the objects in the book, and making inference's from my perspective.

May i remind you that everyone looks at everything at a different perspective. Yes, i have looked at things and though i was making a good inference, but then I thought again and said to myself "that object may look different if i was looking at it from a different perspective". Now see everyone make different inference's about everything and they may be right, or wrong. Something that alters perspective to the naked eye of a human could be things like glasses, obstacles, the distance you are away from the object, and light.

A scientist that might want to look at things close up may be a normal Doctor, a therapist, or archaeologist. I also predict that all scientist in one point in there career, will have to look at something up close, no Doctor will succeed in his/her career. While my 8Th grade class is studying astronomy we as a cl;ass should be aware of our perspective because if were not we may be making wrong inference's. We should try to look at thing from many of perspectives, not just one.

Welcome

Welcome to my page, my name is Donato, i love sports. Mainly baseball, football, an basketball. I dint play football this season because i wanted to rest my knees till next year in high school.

Enigma Box

The skills a scientist use are observation, which is using one or more of your five senses, taste, smell, sound, sight, and touch. you can use all five of these sense to gather information on things you observe. Next is classifying, which is the process of grouping items together that are alike in a few ways. after that is inferring, inferring is explaining or interpreting things you observe. next is predicting, predicting means a forecast of what might happen in the future based ob past experiences. And another skill is making models which practically explains its self, basically its making models. The event that took place in class was Mrs. Casey showed us the Enigma box. Mrs. Casey would pour a liquid into the black box which had to ends, one with a straw an one with just a big hole you can pour a liquid in. my prediction was that when she pour the liquid their was a tube that would collect these water until it gets to a certain point and then it dumps the water out.

When i see the enigma box i think about a black hole that sucks in a liquid an spits it out. the inside of the enigma box probley has a tube that goes to the top, and when the water or whatever gets to the top all of the liquid comes out.

I See a box, that has four sides that are all Plexiglas. It has a hole on the top and a tube on the bottom. You can pour any liquid in it. After a while nothing happens. when she ours some more it starts to drip. Mrs. Casey keeps pouring liquid in until the last bit, that's when all of the water starts to come out.

What was actually going on in the enigma box was when she was pouring the liquid into the box a tube in the loop was collecting the liquid, until it got to the top. When it got to the top the pressure from all the air pushes the water out. that's what happens in the enigma box. Their the experiment.
