This is a diagram of an Argentine Ant.

Water has something called surface tension. Surface tension is like a thin blanket of water on the

surface. It allows you to break the rule of density. Right now I will

show you an experiment.

Here are the materials you will need.

First you get the cup of water and try very slowly to put the paperclip in.

Once you get the paperclip to float because of surface tension, you put

soap in. Then you notice the paperclip will sink. That is because the soap broke the surface tension.

This is a oF and oC thermometer.

Today we will be

focusing on the Celsius

side.

If it was at 0 degrees in Celsius water would freeze.

Ya!! Just like that!!

If it was at 100 degrees Celsius water

would boil.Like that too!

Hey. Where do these pop

ups keep coming from?

That will conclude our lesson for today!!! Oops, we must go on.

Now I will show you different pictures of constellations.

Next I will show you how light from the sun comes to the human eye.

In the next slide I will show you a telescope site.

Next you will see the moon revolving around the earth.

Next you will see a schedule of the moons phases.

The Moon’s Phases

New Moon - The Moon's illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse).

Waxing Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.

First Quarter - One-half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.

Waxing Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing

Full Moon - The Moon's illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon appears to be completely illuminated by direct sunlight.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing.

Last Quarter - One-half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing.

Waning Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is

illuminated is decreasing.

New Moon - The Moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse).

With All Those Phases Together It Will Look Something Like This.

Gravity

• Without gravity we would be flying in the air and so would everything else.

• You have to be very thankful for the Earth’s gravity.

With a balloon like this one that

has something

heavy attached to it, it will fall.

With a balloon like this that has helium, without some- thing to weigh it down will go up because of a force called lift.

A Balloon Is Made Out Of Helium

• Helium is the second lightest element in the periodic table of elements, and is what you put in balloons. The reason it goes up is because helium is lighter than air. The chemical sign for it is He.

Helium

In the next slide I will show you the Winter Constellation Orion.

The Periodic table of elements.

This is a…

!!!

This is how it works.

You put an object on the pan, then you move the masses until it is in line with the balance mark.

Then you know how much it weighs!

These are the ancient Greek elements.

Fire Water Earth Air

These are graduated cylinders.

O ops.

You use graduated cylinders do measure like water like this.

First you pour water in the

cylinder.

Then you see how many mL of

water you poured, then your

done and you can eat some

cookies! Hooray!

An experiment not to try at home.In this experiment you will see what

happens when something is heated or cooled.

These are the materials.

First you make sure the brass ball can fit into the brass circle.

Then you torch the ball.

Then when you try to fit it in again, it won’t fit.

Then to cool down the ball and make it smaller you put the ball in

water.

My table is five and a half FEET long.

How We Get Energy

First the sun shines heat and light, two types of energy, and the energy goes to the

earth.

Energy

Then plants absorb the energy.

Next animals like cows eat the plant and get the energy.

Then when cows produces milk, the

energy is converted into it.

Then when we drink the milk we get the energy! This process can happen with

different animals too.

A type of kinetic energy are waves.

For example, when you drop a a penny in water, the energy

is waves.

If you were to cut a copper wire in half a lot of times, you would end

up with an atom.

If you haven’t noticed, these stars always points to the North Star.

One of our most powerful telescopes is the Meade

Telescope.

This is a picture of the view of the Meade Telescope.

This is the device named after Kepler.

This is Johannes Kepler.

This device was named after Kepler because Kepler discovered

the planetary laws of motion.• LAUNCH INFORMATION
