Activity 3: Bullroarers Lesson Objective: Students will simulate the function a propeller by creating an ancient signaling device known as a bullroarer. Set-Up: Each student will need one craft stick, one index card, one rubber band and 2 paper clips. Groups of students can share measuring tape, string, markers and masking tape. Demo and discussion: Bullroarers have been used by many cultures, throughout many continents, for thousands of years. Anthropologists, scientists who study ancient…

Noah Yeasted A black hole is a large amount of matter in a small space. Black holes are one of the things that can be left over after a larger star dies. The other thing a larger star can become after it dies is a neutron star. A white dwarf is created after a smaller star dies. The only way for a star to become a black hole is if the star was 10-15 times more massive than the sun. The diameter of a black hole is approximately the diameter of New York City. A black hole’s gravitational pull is…

H-R Diagram Lab-Plotting the Stars Part I: Introduction 1) One method scientists use to measure the distance of the star is called parallax. Parallax shift is when closer stars shift positions against the farthest stars. In order for astronomers to measure that distance, they measure the distance of the shift, also considering the diameter of the Erath’s orbit. Then the angle of the parallax is measured. The smaller the angle of the parallax shift is, the farther away the star is from the…

In the endless reach of the universe, there was a star known as Arcturus. One day, she fainted and was taken to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed her with “Red Giant Star" syndrome, an outcome of her being with an iron child. The doctor advised her that due to her condition, if she chose to continue to fuse silicon into iron- to nurture her iron baby- she would get too hot and she could potentially collapse. Back in the day, Arcturus was able to combine hydrogen into helium particles in a…

Galactic cannibalism, Galaxy harassment, Galaxy collision and Satellite interaction are some different kinds of interaction between galaxies. Interacting galaxies, which is the collective term, are in general the circumstance when two or more galaxies gravitational fields interact with each other causing different effects or different levels of disturbance in the gravitational fields depending on things such as size, speed and more. The word collision that both documentaries and scientists have…

Supernova On this hot day in February, I am almost completely sure that I am the only sixteen year old to be sitting in their living room and listening to the radio. The president told the country that we should tune in on the radio at nine o’clock tonight. “MOM…..DAD….IT’S TIME!” I yell as loud as I can. I think that mother and Father are keeping stuff from me. Sometimes in the middle of the night I wake up to them arguing about how mother thinks that Father should stop going to see his…

Planetary, supernova, dark, and reflective are all types of nebulae that are formed and act differently. The elements found in the planetary nebulae and supernovas. A scientist has found that in the permitted lines of planetary nebulae there are nitrogen ions (Aller). Permitted lines are only found with a high power telescope; this shows that there are more possibilities of other elements within these clouds. The elements that are mostly know in Planetary nebulae are the common “hydrogen,…

concussion and cannot communicate with his nurse, the doctor doesn't know what to do have no fear, Supernova is here. This Adafruit can help kids and adults that are deaf, by allowing others to communicate with them, via keyboard. The Adafruit can improve the quality of life for those with hearing disabilities, as it allows them to socialize with friends and family. There will be some laws restricting supernova, so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. This Adafruit will help the Hampton…

There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone. Space is never ending filled with countless amounts of galaxies that we cannot even begin to understand. There are so many stars and so many lives. They have different sizes and shapes and they can turn into different things after they die based on their size and shape. The exact definition of a star is a fixed luminous point in the night sky that is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun, however, stars are much more than that. Stars…

The influence high mass stars have on our Universe is that they create and affect many other bodies in space. For example, when they explode, they create supernovas and eventually those supernovas create black holes. They also are very beautiful and powerful. A high mass star starts out in a nebula and is created by the matter that lies in the nebula. When the hydrogen gas is forced together due to gravity, the star begins to spin and reach extreme temperatures. It gets so hot that it begins…
