Summary

There are 8 phases of the moon. They are New Moon - not visible, Waxing Crescent - less than half of the Moon is visible, First Quarter - half of the Moon is visible, Waxing Gibbous - more than half of the Moon is visible, Full Moon - the entire Moon is visible, Waning Gibbous - more than half of the Moon is visible, Last Quarter - half of the Moon is visible, and Waning Crescent - less than half of the Moon is visible. Our Moon takes 29.5 days to revolve around the Earth. The Moon gets its light from the Sun. When the bright part is getting bigger, the Moon is waxing. When it is getting smaller, the Moon is waning.

How is earth affected by movement (revolution)?

As Earth revolves around the Sun, it causes seasons and tides. When the Earth revolves, its axis points to (direct sunlight - Summer) and away (indirect sunlight - Winter) from the Sun. When sunlight hits the equator, we have Spring and Autumn. Earth's revolution also causes tides. When Sun ,Earth, and Moon are at the right angle, it causes Neap Tide, and when they are at the straight line, it causes Spring Tide.

Reflection

I most enjoyed working with my group members and learning many things together.

2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging things during this project were helping my group member how to pronounce the word "waxing" and filming the video.

4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.

The thing I could have done better are use my time wisely, because all of the groups were finished with there video, while we weren't ready.

Geologic Time - Devonian Period

Devonian Period

Devonian Period started 417 million years ago and ended 354 million years ago. This period was the age of fish. During this period there was a sharks, rays, lobe finned fish. Ammonities increased in population. First forests formed in this period. Some trees developed up to 38m high. Some rock types were Hunsruck Shale, Rhynie Chert, and the gilboa forest. 

Project Reflection

     1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
One thing I enjoyed about this project is working in partners. So we could divide the work. 

     2. What was most challenging about this project? Why?

     3. What would you change about this project and why?

One thing I would change about this project is I would choose a different geologic time period.   

     4. What are the three things that you learned from this project? 

Three things I learned from this project are Earth has a huge history, and it includes eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Devonian period is one of those periods, and it is the age of fish. Supercontinent Pangea formed during this period.
