I felt joyous as I liked working with my team to make the presentation slides. I also enjoyed the first Astro lesson today. My team could work on self-control as some of us played with the text and inserted photos unrelated to the slides. In conclusion, I had fun making the slides with my team, and we must work on self-control. I want more time to get to know my teammates and decorate my slides.

I learnt that many plants have the requirements to sustain life on them and the reasons to explore the universe. One of the reasons I jotted down was that one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, could host life on it. I felt quite nervous presenting in front of the sec1 astro club members but this can help me improve my confidence while presenting my slides. To improve the experience of the club, the executives will need to ensure that the members are quieter and have a better learning environment. Hence, I learned many interesting facts about space and felt nervous about presenting.

I learnt about the solar system and the history of astronomy. I learned what an AU means and learned about all the different planets in the solar system. I also learned about what the different planets are made of. I had a lot of fun during this lesson as I learned about the different planets and even played games at the end. Some presenters could be louder and the slides less wordy. Therefore, I learned a lot from the presenters and had fun.

I learnt about electromagnetic theory, different wavelengths, and the antenna. I learned that this also corresponds with light, microwaves, heat, radiation and communication. I also came across antenna calculators from my CCA teachers. Personally, I think that today's lesson was quite intriguing, but I could not absorb a lot of information from the slides and the presenter in today's lesson. In conclusion, I think today's lesson was pretty interesting, but I could not get much information from my head.
27 June 2024,
I learnt about orbital mechanics and the events that happened over the holidays. After that we watched a video about how Kepler made Kepler's three laws. We also got our steam accounts that day. I felt that the lesson was pretty boring as I just sat around doing nothing.
10 Jul 2024,
I learnt about the structure of galaxies, types of galaxies and the galaxy we are in, the Milky Way Galaxy. There are many types of galaxies such as, elliptical, spiral and barred spiral. I also learnt that there is a supermassive blackhole at the centre of our galaxy. Personally, I feel that the slides were repetitive and that the presenters were pretty soft. other then what happened, I felt that this lesson taught me many different things. It felt really really fun due to the Blooket game we play at the end of the lesson.

Today, we talked about past and upcoming events for the astro club. After that we learnt about stellar properties and some formulas. Then we played with a game called, Kerbal Space Program, but we could not make it work so we had to do refections. I felt very sleepy during the presentation but was able to keep myself awake. I like listening to friend tell the presenter the answer. Therefore, I think we should add videos.

Today we learnt about two things, phonemes and astronomical time. For the first presentation, We talked about many different phonemes like tides, meteor showers, and the aurora. for the second presentation , the presenter talk about the time of the universe and many other thing. Personally, I feel that today's lesson was very fun as There was alot of videos and played games. I do not think I can give any feedback as today was very enriching and fun. In conclusion, I feel that today was the best lesson I experience up to now.

Today I learnt about many things such as accretion. From what I learnt this is the reason why Saturn's rings formed. After that we talked about roche limit and centrifugal force. then we went to the ADMT studio to learnt about the sun. We then played a Kahoot and a Blooket but I did not join. Personally, I feel that todays lesson was very educational. The feedback I have is that the presenter could be louder and talk more clearly.
14 Aug 2024,
Today we learnt about many things like nuclear physics. The presenter shared about things like nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. we also learnt about atoms, their compositions, how they decay and how they are charged. today, I feel that the first presentation was nice but the second one was kinda confusing. I think it was quite fun though, mostly due to the games they put in. The feedback I want to give is that I think the presenter could have more life.

Today we learnt about the solar system in astro. During the lesson, we learnt about how the solar system was formed, how moons. were formed, how Jupiter protects earth from asteroids, the sun, solar flares and many more. after that, we played many more games. I personally did have fun guessing the moon rocks and doing the kahoot. The feedback I want to give is that the presenter could be more clearer.
15 Jan 2025,
Today I learnt that the the Earth was fromed about 4.5 billion years ago, the different layers like the crust, mantle, outer core and the inner core. During the lesson, we learnt about the tectonic plates, why they move and how they move. After that, we learnt about the valcanoes and craters. I personally found the universe sandbox interesting and had fun doing the quizzes. The feedback I would like to give is that, I found the presentation quite boring.

Today, we learnt about astroids and metoriods. I learnt that comets have two tails, one dust tail and one ion tail. Astroids are the biggest, meteriods are fragments of the astroid. I personally feel that today's lesson was very boring. I almost fell asleep 5 times. My feedback is for the presentation to be more fun as I only found the quiz and the team work to be fun and everything else to be boring.

Today, we had a presentation about astroids. I found some of the presentations funny while the others not. These presentation helped me understand what was more important to society. Next, we learnt the properties of the moon, it is 1.2% of earth's mass and 1/6 the earth's gravity. Most of what we know about the moon came from the apollo missions. The moon has a thin atmosphere but does not block radiation. After that we learnt, about the moon's origin. One of the biggest theories is the gaint impact theory, where a mars sizes planet named Thiea crashed into the earth, forming the moon. After that, we played blooket. I personally felt that today's lesson was fun. I personally have no feedback to give as I was not falling asleep this lesson. The reason is that I had something preoccupy myself whilst listening to the presenter present.

Today, we learnt about water rockets and went and lauched them. My team had troubles at first like the lauching pad not working and the pump breaking but in the end we managed to launch the rocket and got quite alot of points. After that , we went back to the seminar room to learn about dwarf plant. Mostly about pluto. the more the water we put, the further it went.

Today, the teacher invited someone from NASA to have a talk. I talk was about the science behind the solar winds, flares and CMEs. After that, we learnt about space wheather and the talk had many videos and pictures about the sun. We also had a look at the spots which means that the sun is very active. I personally feel that the talk was informative and that I have learnt a lot from the speaker.

Today, we went through the term 1 lessons again like the formation of the solar system. I found the lesson not very interesting as we had already went through the lessons before. Today's lesson was dragged on pretty long and was pretty boring. The lesson was very boring and I was sleepy. The lesson was just a summery of what I already learnt and it was a pretty long day so I felt sleepy. I want more videos and games to keep me awake.

Today all of us learnt about what is a habital planet, it has an atmosphere, oxygen and water to support life. After that, we formed groups of three and tried to create a habital planet in universe sandbox. I followed the instructions but got lost creating the atmosphere. My team were doing our own thing and not focusing on creating a planet suitable for life. After that, we presented our planet, the planet my team made had a 16% likelihood of life but exploded. At the end of the day, I learnt what made a habital planet and hand lots of fun making a planet with my teammates.

Today, instead of learning with the sec 2, I learnt all sorts of math for my astrigue competition. We learned all sorts of math from sec1 to sec 4 math. We learnt things like equations, and even more equations that I totally forgot about. Today, my brain was filled with so much math till it was fried and started hurting. Even though my brain hurts, i still had fun as the presenter was filled with enthusiam.

Today we went through the previous worksheet which my team did pretty badly from. I did not really understand the explanation but I did learn something out of it. After that we went through some slides and did a worksheet. The worksheet was very, very difficult. I did not understand anything, so I slept for like the entire time. Until we could discuss and use the internet. After that, I used the internet to help me understand the words I do not know. I personally felt that today's lesson was very boring and my mind was dead after this lesson.

Today, since I joined astro challenge, I did the astro challenge paper and was shocked when I found out that there was 75 questions. I found the the paper quite boring as I was already tired day.
23 july 2025
Today, we learnt about the doppler effect on sound and light. We also solved two questions about it. But before that, we played a board game called which I forgort the name of. Todays game was very very chaotic as we all did our own thing. After that, we stacked the card and tried balancing the foam board. I feel that
