~In astronomy my favorite part was learning about gravity and motion. this was my favorite part of astronomy because it has a lot to do with are everyday life.Gravity is the motion that holds you on to something or in other words attracts things together.
~This year we also studied Earths atmosphere. I liked learning about the different layers of the atmosphere. The first layer is the Troposphere inside of which weather occurs. The second layer is the Stratosphere the layer that jets fly through. This layer absorbs harmful rays from the sun because of the ozone layer that is located at the bottom. Next is the Mesosphere the layer that burns any meteor or rock fragments coming to Earth. The fourth layer is the Thermosphere, the layer that space shuttles orbit in and auroras occur. Last is the Exosphere the layer where the atmosphere goes into space.
~In geology my favorite part was the rock cycle. It was awesome how all rock is each type of rock at some point. From being metamorphic rock deep under ground to being a sedimentary rock compacted to the surface.
~My favorite thing that we learned about weathering and erosion was learning about the different types of weather fronts. In this we had to learn about the four different types of fronts. While learning this i learned that a front can occur when something happens to other fronts. Weather and erosion was an cool topic but not the best this year.
~In the Earths waters I enjoyed the activity on the computer where we learned the cycle water goes through. After learning about the water cycle we had to answer questions about it on our blog. I enjoyed this because it was fun and we got to apply what we learned in our blog.
