first thought when introduced to the moon journal assignment was: “I think Dr. Burke may be crazy. Why would teachers need to learn about the moon‚ unless science is their content area?” I begrudgingly began looking for the moon and was discouraged for nearly a week when I could not find it. After reading and discussing Duckworth‚ I began to understand why this journaling project is an assignment for the class. According to Duckworth (1996)‚ studying the moon brings about discourse and conversation

The moon landing‚ was it real or was it fake? The first moon landing was back in July of 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon. For many people it was a fantastic achievement for others a terrible fraud. From the first day to now there has always been conspiracy theories about the moon landing. Some believe that it never happened‚ that it was a big hoax. Some believe that we have never went to the moon. And others believe that the first moon landing was fake but the many after

The first moon landing in 1969 was one of the many historical events that left a question mark in the minds of people. It was also one of the most remarkable and significant events of world history. 1967 was one of the most brutal and bitter years for the Americans. The war in Vietnam up to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King‚ the American citizen‚ began to lose hope for their nation. Lyndon B. John’s elections were prevented with the activist riot in Chicago. America and the citizens of

Sun and the Moon Many‚ many years ago before humans walked the Earth; the Earth would stay dark all twenty four hours of the day. The moon and stars being lovers would flourish in the sky all day and night long. Back then‚ the sun would never come out from behind the moon. Those reasons were unknown‚ but one day the sun had enough and became enraged in jealousy. Being clever and witty the sun devised a plan to kick the moon’s lover out of the sky and have the moon for him. The moons lover‚ Mahigan

The Speed of Light and the Moons of Jupiter Introduction: In this lab we focused on the eclipses of the moon Io of Jupiter. Galileo was the first to discover the four moons of Jupiter and since then astronomers have discovered the orbital periods of them‚ 1.8 days being approximately Io’s. It was also noted that these moons disappeared and reappeared at certain points in their orbit. This was because when the moons were behind Jupiter they were not able to reflect light. In this lab we had

The Earth experiences tides in its oceans‚ by gravitational interaction between the Earth‚ Moon and Sun. The Moon is the biggest factor of tides occurring. It has 2.2 more power on tides than the sun does. The Moon and earth apply a gravitational pull on each other‚ and since most things on earth is pinned down they stay in place. But‚ the oceans being fluid can be pulled toward the moon causing tides.And since the earth is rotating while this is happening‚ two tides occur each day. While the Sun

Race. The race to the Moon would be an excruciating and long task for the U.S. and the Soviet Union. First‚ The Soviet Union was winning and the U.S was falling behind. The Soviet Union launched the first ever satellite. The Soviet Union also put the first man into orbit. The U.S. Tried to launch a satellite but failed. President Eisenhower was mocked when the satellite crashes because he rushed the production. The Soviet Union launches the first space probe that landed on the moon. The Soviet Union

July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity of the moon wraps around the earth like

Ironically‚ Moon Rondeau is not actually written using a rondeau poem format. It is used to give an imagery of the repetitiveness of love (Constantakis‚ 2011). Moon Rondeau was written in 1963 by Carl Sandburg. It is a poem of love‚ and the innocence‚ and hope that come with it. Love is a common theme throughout the whole poem while there are other themes presented as well. Sandburg is known for his use of free verse. It bears a sense of romance and brings forth images that convey strong emotions

Moon today. The Earth keeps the Moon in orbit by its gravitational pull it sets onto it. The Moon is constantly spinning farther away from the Earth at a rate of approximately 3.78 centimeters per year. When the moon was closer to the planet‚ days were only five hours long‚ now‚ since the moon is slowly spinning away‚ the days get longer‚ meaning that the days are now 24 hours and will continue to slow down. Without the Moon‚ the Earth’s rotation could slow down‚ causing the planet to wobble slightly
