What science ideas did you learn?

This week we learned a lot. We learned about the moon. We learned how the moon rotated and revolved around the sun. We also learned the 8 phases of the moon. We also learned how each phases is formed. Each is formed because the sun shines on part of the sun and that's what we see. Finally we started to learn how the moon effects the tides.

How did you learn these ideas?

We mainly learned these ideas by looking at s simulator. Finley told us to watch the simulator and to see how many things we can find out about the moon. After, we started to answer questions about the sun and the moon.

Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?

It is important to know this idea because one day I could be a fisherman. If I know how each phase effects the tides then I would know when is the best time to go fishing because the tides effect the fish. Then I would think back to 8th grade science I would catch more fish and make more money.
