Eclipse - Science

 The Solar Eclipse

During the day, the moon blocks the sunlight and makes the sun disappears. The light would go as would the sun for a couple of minutes. The Solar Eclipse would happen in the middle of the day. The last one was 1965 and the next one will be in 2028 which will cover the south island.

                      

The Lunar Eclipse

During the night, the earth blocks the moon from the sun. This causes the light that reflects the moon to disappear and as the light goes so does the moon. We would not see the moon during this night. The last Lunar Elipse The next Lunar Eclipse is on the 8-9th of November 2022.       

Climate Chaos - Solar Energy

Today we were talking about how much better solar energy is compared to coal, oil, and natural gases with how long they will be here and how easy they are to get. we started off today by writing down some notes and trying to work them into the same paragraph that our teacher had us take the notes from. Here is mine, Solar power is the most abundant sauce of energy on earth. There is enough solar energy hitting the earth every hour to get one year worth of energy. All oil, coal, and natural gases could be left in the ground if only we could capture 1 hour of energy each year.

Then we had to compear what better between solar and coal. We had it done on a table so we could have the results recorded easier and to make it more understandable. Mostly solar energy is better than coal because it is healthier and better for the envirenment.

Climate Chaos - Solar Power

Aim: To learn about how solar energy is used.

Hypothesis -

I think that black would attract the most heat rather than white or silver.

Materials -

1. White cup x 2
2. Clear cup
3. Black plastic
4. Tinfoil 
5. Paper
6. Water
7. Thermometer
8. Heat lamp

Steps -

1. Grab all of your equipment from your teacher.
2. Keep one of the white cups on the side because that will be your white color for this experiment.
3. Mold some tinfoil onto the other while cup to create your silver cup.
4. Cut along the top of your plastic bag so both ends are open and fit around your clear cup.
5. Pour some water in each cup making sure it is around 1/4 full.
6. Turn on your heat lamp making it face all of the cups so the experiment has the correct results.
7. Test your water in each cup every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes making sure to leave the thermometer out long enough to get the right temperature in each cup.
