4.6.15 Speedwrite The Bombing Star

[Introduction]

Today’s writing will be about stars because people may not know about stars and they might not know what to write for their topic ( stars ) . Have you ever wondered the different things that is going around with stars? Well to find out information about stars you will need to keep reading as you go.

Different Atoms:

There are different atoms that goes in with stars, 1 is hydrogen that heats up with the second one ( Helium atoms ). There is also 90 natural kinds of atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks, in matter that make up everyday object. Stars are huge, but it may looks like it’s tiny because we are from long distance where stars are. The star's gravity inside intense that nothing can escape it’s honestly even light. There are stars that comes to matariki that are all sisters.

General Information about stars:

This paragraph begins with information that you might want to find out:

A star begins to born in the center of nebulae.

Most stars, included the sun are main sequence. Nuclear fusion is converted hydrogen and helium atoms. The more these stars get hotter the more bright it goes. Compare when these stars begins to die, they become giant, and supergiant and that is because of their kinds.

Different types of stars:

There are seven main types of stars around the sky. The Order of the stars ( decreasing temperature ) are o,b,a,f,g,k and m. O and B are the stars that are uncommonly but mostly very bright ( that is all I can know ). A star that has eight times a mass of the sun is called a “ blue giant “. A star that has a very hot mass is called a “ white dwarf “. Explain this facts a rigel star is 20, 000 degrees, if 3 times it’s 40, 000 times brighter than the sun.

[Conclusion]

There are 7 main types of different stars. Comparing when stars die it grows as giant it could be as different as humans because when humans die they certainly go into a coffin then go to underground which takes them to go to heaven. Different atoms come to combined making stars. I hope this report gives you as much help about stars on your own inspiration.

Netball Explaining

This Google drawing shows you the positions about netball for those who are beginners at netball. I may copied the image of the netball positions on Google image but I used my knowledge I 've learnt at school about the netball position on this Google draw. I hope this is helping you with the netball position.

Why the moon's appearance looks different every night?

In Week 6 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great explanations.

We wrote about the Moon’s different phases as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great explanation will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

INTRODUCTION :

Have you ever wondered why does the moon look different every night? Well to know that the phases of the moon changes every time. If you continue reading along as you go you might will find out more all about why does the moon look different every night?

Body Paragraph : The Moon's’ Orbit :

To wonder about the moon's orbit you may need to have the connection with my writing and will need to keep reading along as you go so you understand more about the moon’s orbit.

The moon’s orbit may be either see more or less of the illuminated side.

Also the Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite. A natural satellite is a space body that orbits a planet, a planet like object or an asteroid. Predict the Moon’s orbit around the Earth is tilted from our orbit around the Sun - not shadows that cause phases - it’s about the amount of that bright side we can see as the Moon moves through its orbit.  

The 2nd Paragraph - Phases of the Moon:

To begin the phases of the moon you may need to know these facts so you understand all about the scientific things around the phases of the moon. Despite The phases of the moon goes from being opposite from a halfway of the moons sides. The phases helps the moon to change in different ways so that the moon doesn't just stay on the moon but it orbits the world.

The 3rd paragraph - Why the time between two new moons is different to the time it takes the Moon to make one complete orbit around Earth?

If you are wondering about why the time between two new moons is different to the time it takes the moon to make one complete orbit around the earth? Well to find the answer you will need to keep reading this paragraph to help you understand more about this question. Theorize the moon orbits the earth while it orbits around the sun. Did you know that the shadow does not make it’s own shadow but it is because of the sun's light reflecting on the earth’s orbit.

Conclusion:

Hypothesize this explanation may be inspired for your own explanation about this topic. If you generalize need more information about this topic please got to: (http://phillips.seti.org/kids/moon.html )  I hope this explanation helps with all the process around the topic why does the moon looks diffrent every night? Just before you leave this explanation i just want to tell you that the Moon was probably made 4.5 billion years ago when a large object hit the Earth and blasted out rocks that came together to orbit round the Earth.
