I learnt about lunar and solar eclipses, and how a solar eclipse is formed with a new moon, and how a lunar eclipse is formed with a full moon. After the lesson, we played blooklet to test our knowledge and understanding of the lesson. I enjoyed the lesson because of its interesting content and fun way to revise what we'd learnt.

I saw how different students reflect on their presentations, and just how much people can remember from a week ago. I got to work with my teammates to create slides and remember what I'd previously learnt. I enjoyed seeing the different ways people presented and created their slides.

The reason astrologists use light years instead of kilometers because kilometers as a unit is too small. I learnt about Kelper's three laws, how planets orbit in ellipses, how they're slower when they're furtehr from the sun, and how a planet further from the sun takes a longer time to complete and orbit.

I would speak a language the leaders would understand, and share how it could help the leaders identify upcoming natural disasters using stars. Infrared telescopes can also be used to identify stars. The lesson was fun

I was able to learn about other planets that could potentially be inhabited, and their flaws as to why they may have not sustained life. I believe that galileo had a greater influence than newton, because not only did galileo come first, his discoveries may or may not have helped newton with his ideas.

I learnt about the 3 different factors which affected the temperature of the planet, which is the planet's atmosphere, the reflection of heat, and the star's luminosity. This may cause a planet to be unable to sustain liquid water despite a good location.
I would add more facilities in my moon base.
I can add a heating system into the base.

Very lightweight material that is a bad conductor of heat beacuse mercury does not have a strong gravitaional field, and the temperatures are extremely extreme. With a good heating system, and an air filter. what

The sharing done by the seniors was informative and engaging, and the blooklet was also engaging

The lesson was sort of messy because there were issues with setting up the slides. The slides were sort of content heavy but was understandable.
I think neutron anatomy would have a larger photosphere and convection zone than a normal star.
I think the red dwarves and white dwarves would have a larger chromosphere than the normal star.

Fox hunting was fun because we were able to run around the school to look for the bag. Although my group did find the bag, we did have to look through different blocks to find the bag. At times, we would hear the beeping close by but could not find it, after circling the radius. It was thrilling that we could win at any moment, and all we needed to hear was beeping, but it was also really competitive because many others were also looking around the places my group was at, and could find the transmitter before us.
I think fox hunting works by having the radio detect radio waves from a transmitter at a certain frequency.
The same tactics from fox hunting could be used to look for radio wave galaxies by moving around just like fox hunting.

We learnt about trigonometry, how it can be used for satellites, something about planets, and sin cos and tan.
i think this can be used in our daily life through GPS
we can measure the mass of a star by observing a binary star system, and utilising newton's law of gravity and keplers third law, since a planet's orbital period and semi-major axis to the mass of the star it orbits.
13 August 2025:
We learnt about how a star is born, starting from the nebula, to compressed nebula, a protostar and then a star. We also learnt about detecting stars using a wobble and doppler shift. Stars can also be made up of different materials, and have colours depending on how hot the star is
Stellar spectronometry can be applied in BioTech Research
19 August 2025:
We learnt about stellar evolution, star clusters(open and grouped clusters), pulsars, black holes, stellar graveyards, the suns future, cosmic circle of life and magnetars on universe sandbox.
26 August 2025:
We did fox hunting on level one. Although my team did not find the box, it was a fun experience. We also tested our knowledge of the sun on gimkit, and then had a presentation about the sun. I learn that the width of the sun was 103 earths.
What surprised me the most about the sun is the fact that it has 3 layers and not just 2. Being the core, radiative zone and the convection zone.
