Reflection: Telescopes

In this lesson, I learnt about telescopes and how to use them. I learnt who invented who came up with the idea of telescopes and how to use them. I also learnt that galileo improved on the design of telescopes and used it for astronomy. I can apply this knowledge in tests and share this knowledge to my friends. Today’s lesson was good. They could have allowed us to do a kahoot which would have made the lesson more interesting. The speaker also planned fun and interesting activities, which allowed me to understand more about telescopes.

In this lesson, I learnt how to become a better mentor. Being a good mentor requires patience and other qualities. I can help others better with this knowledge. Today’s lesson was good. They could have allowed us to watch a video which would have made the lesson more interesting. The speaker also explained about mentorship very well.

In this lesson, I learnt about constellations. I learnt about the backstory of orion, which was about how orion was put into the sky with his dogs.I also learnt about how ursa major and ursa minor are related. Today’s lesson was good. They could have allowed us to watch a video which would have made the lesson more interesting. The speaker also explained about it very well.

I learnt about satellites this lesson. I learnt about sputnik1, which was the first satellite that we ever sent to space. I also learnt about intentional and unintentional satellites. Intentional satellites are like the ISS, that were sent to orbit something with a purpose. Unintentional satellites are like space debris, which were created unintentionally. They could have allowed us to watch a video which would have made the lesson more interesting. The speaker also explained about it very well.

A cryovolcano (sometimes informally called an ice volcano) is a type of volcano that erupts volatiles such as water, ammonia or methane into an extremely cold environment that is at or below their freezing point. The process of formation is known as cryovolcanism. Collectively referred to as cryomagma, cryolava or ice-volcanic melt, these substances are usually liquids and can form plumes, but can also be in vapour form. After the eruption, cryomagma is expected to condense to a solid form when exposed to the very low surrounding temperature. Cryovolcanoes may potentially form on icy moons and other objects with abundant water past the Solar System's snow line (such as Pluto). A number of features have been identified as possible cryovolcanoes on Pluto, Titan and Ceres, and a subset of domes on Europa may have cryovolcanic origins In addition, although they are not known to form volcanoes, ice geysers have been observed on Enceladus and potentially Triton. Today's lesson was good as the speaker explained well and we got to watch a video

I learnt about ksp this lesson. I learnt how to use ksp. I also learnt about the structure of rockets. It is a very good simulation of what space travel is like. Heat shields are very useful for rockets and a rocket can only have up to 9 engines. The speaker explained about ksp very well.

The kahoot quiz was well made. They could have allowed us to stay in an air-conditioned room which would have made learning more enjoyable. The lesson was overall good.
