2. I would use this information in astronomy competition or kahoot I guess.

3. I liked the kahoot quiz the most since it was really fun.

4. I want to learn about constellations next time.

REFLECTION

3. I want to learn more about some lesser-known constellations next time.

REFLECTIONS 29/6/22

1. I enjoyed watching the video about Enceladus. I learnt more about its surface and the possibilities of what is in its core. I never knew it had water.

REFLECTIONS 13/7/22

1. I enjoyed watching the demonstration of launching a single stage rocket in KSP.

2. I think the videos were a bit too long but I managed to learn a lot of new things about drag and lift.

• Drag is generated by the interaction and contact of a solid body with a fluid (liquid or gas).

• Lift occurs when a moving flow of gas is turned by a solid object.

3. I want to learn how to create new worlds in KSP.

REFLECTIONS 20/7/22

1. I enjoyed watching the video about white dwarfs and how the universe might end

2. I learnt a lot about the lifespan of stars today, especially about protostars and main sequence stars

3. I look forward to the second part on stellar evolution :D

4. In future lessons, I think there can be more diagrams to explain things.

REFLECTIONS 27/7/22

1. I enjoyed the kahoot the most :D it was really interesting

2. I learnt about the different types of neutron stars: magnetars, pulsars and the combination of both. black holes are a collapsed core of a massive star that has enough gravity to make anything inescapable. Supernovas are stars at the end of their stellar lifespan.

3. I want to learn about spacewalks soon!

4. In future lessons , there can be kahoots just like the one we had today :)

REFLECTIONS 17/8/22

mY bRaIn HurTS

1. I learnt about the differences between special and general relativity.

• Special relativity:

• Does not work in gravity

• Does not allow any forces

• Shows relation between observer, speed & time

• Published in 1905

• Simple, and covers less of the universe

• General relativity

• Works in gravity

• Allows and accounts for acceleration

• Shows relation between observer & acceleration

• Published in 1915

2. I enjoyed the Quizizz and watching the videos that explained the theories.

3. I want to play more Quizizz next time :)

REFLECTIONS 24/8/22

1. I learnt about many different deep sky objects from the Messier catalogue and NGC

NGC - New General Catalogue

• Deep-sky objects are celestial objects that exist outside our solar system

• Three major types of deep-sky objects are nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies
