Comment on Michael Morris: Nice job Michael. You remembered to post your link on Ms.Douglas' page, you included a picture, and you explained. However you forgot the picture link.

Comment on Jose Carranza: Hi Jose. Nice job. You could describe a bit more though. However your picture is very descriptive and helps with your question.

Cycle 2_Week 10

The question I posted is "Why is Pluto no longer considered a planet?" The answer to this is because it's smaller than all the other planets(even Earth's moon), it's orbit is off, and one of it's moon named Charon is half it's size. So in 2006, scientists proclaimed Pluto a dwarf planet. It's the second largest dwarf planet.

Comment on Neejai Carter: Hi Neejai. In your blog post you made a few spelling and grammer mistakes. Overall you did good though.

Comment on Jhoel Lemus: Hi Jhoel. Great job. The only mistake I see is you spelled the word cycle wrong in the title. Other than that no mistakes.

Cylce 2_Week 9

Reflecting on class today, I remember overall learning that the rotation of the Earth affects the shadows of objects. For example when we first went outside Ms.Douglas drew an outline around the shadow of a car in the parking lot. When we came back at the end of the period, the shadow had moved to the right. The purpose of a sundial is to tell time. A sundial works by the sun shining down on the gnomon(the triangular peice on the sundial) and the gnomon's shadow falls upon the hour line. What I learned in class today is the rotation of the Earth affects where an object's shadow lies. Since the Earth is always moving the Sun's rays are always hitting different places, which means the shadow's are going to be different places too.
