The Water Cycle

  Hello Science fans. Welcome back to another Science Fairy Blog. I now I haven't been blogging in awhile. But I'm back. Today we are going t be learning about the water cycle. I know this might be gross, but the next cup or glass you drink might be dinosaur spit. But it helps us live. Keep reading to learn the steps of the water cycle.

 

 

Evaporation

   The first step is evaporation. It all starts with the sun. The sun heats up the water in the ocean.  The water gets so hot that the water molecules move so fast that it turns into a vapor. The vapor starts to raise up into the sky. That's when the next step starts.

 

 

 

Condensation

 

 

    Our second step is condensation. Condensation happens when the water molecules start to cool off. When the water molecules are done cooling off they start to connect to each other. That's how the clouds are formed.

                                     

 

                                                        Precipitation

   After The clouds are made, more and more rain get in the cloud. When the cloud can't hold anymore it just lets it out. Precipitation is when it snow, sleets, hail, and rain. When it's raining the rain flows throw a mountain. Wich is called a runoff .It goes all the way back to the ocean. That is where our last step comes in.

                                                   

Collection

   The last step is collection. This one is very short. It's when all the water collects back into the ocean. Then the whole cycle starts all over again. 



                                  

 

 

    Since we are learned the steps of the water cycle. Now we are going to learn how the water cycle is related to weather patterns and climate. First, the weather patterns. It relates to weather because it makes tornadoes, thunder storms, hurricanes, floods, and droughts. 

 

 

 



     Now for climate. It relates to climate because if it's hot the sun makes the water dry out.That what cause droughts. droughts mean's no rain comes along for a long period of time. If its rains. It can cause floods So that means what ever the climate is that's the type of rain its going to be.
                                  

That's it for this blog. I know it was short but I still hope you enjoyed it. This is The Science Fairy saying keep learning science. Peace!

Nonrenewable and renewable resources

 

Hello Science Fairy fans. Sorry I haven't been doing blogs lately. I've been very busy. Anyway today we are going to learn about nonrenewable and renewable resources. We are going to see what's renewable and what's not. Let's get started.

                               

 

                                                   

           Differences of  Non/Renewable Resources
 

  We first need to know what the differences are with nonrenewable and renewable resources. Renewable is you reuse it every single time and it never runs out. Nonrenewable means there is a limited amount. That means the difference is nonrenewable is limited, and renewable is unlimited. Now if you still don't understand I'm going to give you some examples.   

 

   Nonrenewable                       Renewable

• Coal                               1.Sun
• Minerals/metal                     2.Water
• Natural gas                        3.Wind
• Nuclear fuels                      4.  


                                                         Fossil Fuels

People have been asking me what exactly are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are fuels like coal that we use for trains and for factories and other uses like that. We have to be careful when we use fossil fuels because they can pollute the air.




 
   Scientist say Fossil Fuels are a nonrenewable resources. and some people don't know why. The reason why Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resources because they have a limited amount of fossil fuels in the world. We keep using them over and over again. Soon there are going to be no fossil fuels left in the world.
 
                                                                       

 
                                                                        
        Now we are going to learn the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric energy. First let's do solar energy.
 
               Solar Energy
 
Advantages: It's a renewable source so it will never run out.
It doesn't make pollution in the air. They are super easy to install.
 
Disadvantages: It is expensive to install on your roof. It will be helpless if it storms or if it's cloudy. It doesn't look good on the house.
                                  







 Wind Energy
 
Advantages: Wind will never run out any time soon. The wind is free and we are able to cash in on this free resource. It's a reliable supply of electricity.
 
Disadvantages: The wind turbines are noisy. Everyone will get tired of seeing them. It takes away a lot of nature.



                                
 
                   Hydroelectric Energy

Advantages: It can last decades without running out. Eelectricity can be produced at a constant rate. If electricity is not needed, the gates can be shut.

Disadvantages: Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very high standard. The flooding of large areas of land means that the natural environment is destroyed. People living in villages and towns that are in the valley to be flooded, must move out.


                            



                       Conserving
   There is a word named conservation. It means it is conserving electricity. Like turning off the lights when you dont need them and take less showers. Thats conservation. We should move on.

That's it for this blog hope you enjoyed this. This is The Science Fairy saying keep learning science.

    Moon phases

 

  Hello science fans. Today we are going to learn about something new. Today we are going to learn about the moon's phases. I know what you're thinking. We already learned about the moon. I know but this time we are just going to learn about the Charactists and phases. My friend Emma the Meap should be here any second. But until then keep reading to learn about the moon's Myth.

 

 

 

  First we are going to learn about what people thought of the moon. Have you ever seen the moon yellow? "Yeah". Said Emma The Meap. Emma The Meap, What took you so long anyway. why don't you tell us about what people thought of the moon. "OK, people thought the moon was made out of cheese." said Emma The Meap. "That's the weirdest thing I have ever heard." said the Science Fairy. "I have a question for you. Do wolves howl at a full moon or is that another myth also?" asked the Science Fairy. "It's a myth because it may look like it's howling at the moon but its actually not." said Emma The Meap. "Then what are they howling at then?" asked the Science Fairy.  "They are giving signals to other wolves." said Emma The Meap. 

 

 

  "Now its my turn to ask a question." said Emma The Meap. "Ask away." replied the Science Fairy.  "Does crime increase at a full moon?" "That's a good question Emma The Meap.  no it doesn't, because the scientist found out that it has nothing to do with its phases. answered the Science Fairy.  "That's true. Come one we should move one." said Emma the Meap. 

 

                                  

 

  "We are going to learn about the phases. I know that we learned about this the last time but I'm still going to teach it again." said the Science Fairy.  "Can I talk about it?" asked Emma the Meap.  "Sure go ahead." answered the Science Fairy.  "The moon has a cycle of phases. It goes in order like first quarter, waxing gibbous, then full moon." "Cool!" said the Science Fairy.  "Did you know the whole concept of the month is based on it's cycle." asked Emma The Meap. "Really?" said the Science Fairy. "Yeah here's a little history. Back in the day the ancient Greeks used the moons phases to see what time it is or what months it is." answered Emma the Meap.  "Cool I learned something new today. I have something about the moon too." said the Science Fairy.  "What is it?" said Emma. "Did you know that shadows have nothing to do with the phases of the moon?" "Really!" said Emma.  Yup. said The Science Fairy. "It looks like we both leaned something new today". Said Emma The Meap.

 

 

                                     

 

 

 

"I have a question for you, Emma The Meap. Why don't we see a solar and lunar eclipses on monthly basis?" asked the Science Fairy.  "That's a good question, Science Fairy. The answer is The sun, earth, and moon don't line up with each other very often. So that means we won't have a lunar/solar eclipse every month." answered Emma the Meap.

 

 

 

                                

 

 

"Now we are going to talk about why one half of the moon is dark and the other have is dark. That's called a half moon." said the Science Fairy.  "That's right." replied Emma the Meap.  "The reason its like that is because the sun is reflecting only on one side of the moon because it is orbiting the same time we are.  The moon only reflects 11 percent of the moon." said the Science Fairy.  "That is little but how can we still see it?" asked Emma The Meap. "The sun is so bright on Earth that the moon is bright to us." answered the Science Fairy. "Very interesting." said Emma.  "Now we are going to talk about all the phases of the moon." said the Science Fairy. 

 

                                                                                        

 

 

 "The first phase we are going to talk about is the new moon. A new moon is when we on earth cant see the moon at all it is completely dark." said the Science Fairy.  "Correct, the next step in the cycle is the waxing.  Waxing means it's growing bigger all the way to a full moon and waning is when it is getting smaller." said Emma The Meap. 

   "Now the crescent moon. Everyone should have seen a crescent moon before." said the Science Fairy.  "Like in the movies?" asked Emma The Meap. "No in the sky." replied the Science Fairy.  "Yeah that too." said Emma.  "A crescent moon is when its close to a new moon but not that close.

   Now a half moon is just what we talked about so just look back to the paragraph you read before. The gibbous moon is so close to a full moon it kinda looks like a full moon but it's not. Everyone knows what a full moon is.

   A full moon is when we can see the entire side of the moon.  We are going to talk about the third quarter moon.  Its when three quarters of the moon is dark and one quarter of the moon is dark. Our last thing is the lunar month. A lunar month is the period of time from a new moon to a full moon." said the Science Fairy.         
                                 

                                               
  "That's the end of the blog. I'm Science Fairy." "And I'm Emma The Meap saying keep learning science!" Said both of us.

     Moon

   Hello Science fans. Welcome back! I know there are no more planets left but today we are going to learn about the beautiful thing that is in the sky every night. You guessed it. The MOON! To make this more fun lets take a space ship like the first man on the moon. Put your astronaut suit on and lets go!

                           
Good news in this blog we don't have to learn about the history. Before we do anything someone asked me is the moon seconded brightest object. Why is the moon so bright? That's a good question. The answer is it reflects light from the sun. The moon only reflects 11 percent of the sun's light. But the sun is so bright that even that much reflection is so bright to us. That should answer the question.
                              

                                 
Some people ask why does the moon not show up as a perfect circle. Well that's called phases. Phases are when the moon makes shapes. Well here's a different way to explain them. First we are going to talk about new moon.  
             
                         New moon

A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun. The entire illuminated portion of the moon is on the back side of the moon, the half that we cannot see.

                               

 

 

Full moon

The full moon is when you can see the entire moon.  The entire sunlit part of the moon is facing us. The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view.

                               

                              Half moon

The half moon is when one side is dark and the other side of the moon is light.                    
                                  

It takes 27 days to go from one full moon to the next full moon. Which means no matter how many times it rotates we on earth are always going to see only one side of the moon. Now we are going to talk about the passage f time. What is that you ask? It means the elapsing of time. It means the time keeps moving no matter what.

                              

 

Now we are going to describe the features of the moon's surface. The moon's surface has no atmosphere. Since it has no atmosphere the meteors or asteroids are burned up. When they hit the surface it makes huge craters. It's like a protector.

 

 

 

There has been a lot of theories on how the moon was made. One theory is while the earth was formed a chunk of it came off, the earth's gravity pulled a chuck of rock, and a huge meteor hit earth and the pieces of earth made the moon. But the truth is nobody knows for sure.  But scientist are till trying to find out.

This is the end of my blog for the week. Here are my interesting facts.

                      Interesting facts

1. The Moon is slowly drifting awa.
2. The Moon looks the same size as the Sun.
3. Only 12 people have ever stepped onto the surface of the Moon.
4. The Moon is the 5th largest natural satellite in the Solar System.
                 
That's it for my blog this week. This is The Science Fairy saying keep learning science. Peace.

                                                                                 Neptune
 

Hello Science Fairy fans! I have some very bad news this is my last planet in the solar system. But don't worry I'm still going to make
more blogs. Anyway, today we are going to learn about the blue planet that every one loves..........Neptune! Keep reading to learn more about this amazing planet.

                                                                                 

 

First things first, we have to know how it got it's name. As you can see Neptune has a blue color. When the Greeks saw the planet for the first time it looked like the ocean so they decide to name it after the god of the sea.

 

 

Now lets talk about how Neptune was discovered. He was discovered by Galileo, but he mistakened it for a star. Since it was too far way they had to use math and not science. Crazy right? Anyway the math geniuses that made Neptune a planet are Johann Galle, Urbain Le Veriee and John Couch Adams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now we are going to compare and contrast Neptune with the other gas giants.

 

Compare and Contrast

 

First we are going to contrast and compare it with Uranus. "Can I help?" asked the Science Cat. What are you doing here? "I'm here to help." said the Scienc car. "No you cant help." "Please, please, please." said the Science cat. OK fine, you can help. But no talking over my show. "Fine. Can I do Neptune." said the Science Cat.

 

Contrast

 

                  Neptune                      Uranus

                                 Radius: 15,299 miles                                          Radius: 15,759 miles

                                 Mass: 102.4E24 kg                                              Mass: 86.81E24 kg

                   Discovered: September 23, 1846                                     Discovered: March 13, 1781

                                                               Compare
 
   "I know a way how they are similar." said the Science Cat. ow How are they similar? "They are similar in theie color, unexplored by human because of there distance, and three is the obvious one they are both maintained with gas." said the Science Cat. You are a very smart Science Cat now get off my blog you are taking over it.
 

                                                    

 Now we are going to compare it to Jupiter and Saturn. Just to make this  blog go faster. "Can I help with this one?' asked Emma the Meap. Emma the Meap what are you doing here? You know what? I am going to get a better security. Anyway since you are here you can help. "Yeah! I'm doing Neptune and Saturn." said Emma the Meap. Sigh, fine. But we really don't need to do Neptune because we all ready did it.

                                                                         Contrast

 

                                 Saturn                                                         Jupiter

 

       Radius: 36,184 miles                                                          Radius: 43,441 miles

       Mass: 568.3E24 kg                                                              Mass: 1.898E27 kg  

     Distance from Sun: 890,700,000 miles                               Distance from Sun: 483,800,000 miles

 

                                                                         Compare

 

Emma the Meap before you say anything, we are going to do one at a time. First the similarities with Jupiter. I'll go first. They both have dark spots, They both have hydrogen and helium, and they both been discovered by Gailio. Your turn Emma The Meap. "Finally they both have rings, they both obviously have rings, and been discovered by Voyager 2." said Emma the Meap. Thanks for coming. Good bye. "Wait what I still have  abunch of similarities." said Emma the Meap. Good bye.

                               

 

 

We finally compared and contrast all of the gas giants with Neptune. Now I  keep getting comments asking does Neptune have snow or water. Well that's a hard question. "I know the answer." said Sachin. OK this is the last person that is barging in here. Don't even think of it Sachin. OK Amish whats the answer. "Yes, it does snow but its not the snow on earth. The snow wouldn't be made by water." said Amish. Then what would it be made of then? "It would be made of ice of ammonia and methane. Neptune's atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium so the degree goes down to -200 degrees enough to freeze the entire planet." said Amish. That is very interesting now good bye.

 

 

 

      Now we are going to talk about its moons. Neptune has 12 moons. We are going to talk about a special moon. It's name is Triton. Before I start is anyone coming in? Yes or no? OK finally now I can..."Hi Science Fairy."said Alex.  UUUUGGGHH Alex! You know what? Just talk about Triton and I'll be back. "Triton is an interesting moon. Did you know that it orbits in the opposite direction of Neptune? Weird right? It was discovered in 1846. It orbits completely in 141 earth days. The last fact I have is the person that discovered it is William Lassell." said Alex. Thank you. Good bye forever!
 

                                  

 N more people Sachin. Don't even think of get out of that chair. You too jack. Now everyone is all ways wondering why does Neptune have small dark spots. Well, scientist were looking at Neptune and saw the dark spots disappeared and come back again which was weird. But it proves that its weather is active. It even has a great spot like Jupiter which means it has a strong winds just like Jupiter. The dark spot is named Scooter because around it there are white clouds called cirrus clouds. It is called Scooter because it moves very fast.
 

That's the end of my blog today. This is The Science Fairy saying keep learning science. Peace.
