How Sharks Survived the great dying

Hello the is ocean news. The is The Science Fairy and this is Emma the Meap here saying we got big news for you today. scientist are seeing that there are living sharks after the great dying. To find out more keep reading.

 

welcome back. before we can tell you more about the sharks we are going to tell you about the great dying. How about you tell us Emma The Meap. OK Well The Great Dying is brought to end many fish, including sharks. Hold on there Emma The Meap we had just heard that scientist have found a fossil. In that fossil there is a mini shark. It looks like it was trying live but then it became extinct. thats very interesting.

 

 

And thats not all. the scientist have been studiding the teeth and it proves that the shark clado was the longest on to survive. Know Emma The Meap is going to talk about the early history. Thank you Science Fairy In the early history the sharks lived in shallow waters. after the great dying scientist have found out that the clado sharks were missing and so they thought they died. that is sad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                           
                       

                                                                  Mars

 

     Hi, everyone. This is The Science Fairy again, saying we are going to skip Earth. We are going to do a lot about Earth later, but right know we are going to learn about Mars. Lets go!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Before we can learn about the planet Mars we are going to learn how did it get the name Mars. Mars is a Roman God. He is the God of War. His equipment is a spear and a shield.  He loved being in the highest position of the roman religion.

The people honored him by:

1. Dancing in armor
2. Sacrificing animals.

 

                                                Here's a great picture of him!

 

 

OK, now we are going to learn about the planet Mars. You are probably wondering why it is called a red planet. Well, I have an answer for you. It is a red planet because the planet is really hot and dry like a desert. The reason why it is dry is because it had a magnetic field, but the sun blasted Mars and it broke. The sun blasted it one more time and it became as dry as a rock.

 

 OK, remember how the first two planets don't have moons?  This one does. The moons are: Phobos and Deimos.We are going to talk about Phobos. Phobos has the record of being the closest moon to its planet in the whole solar system. In 40 million years Phobos will crash right into Mars. Its rotation takes 319 earth days. Next is Deimos. Deimos is a highly irregularly planet. The two largest craters are Swift and Voltaire. 

 

 

 Now here's the question.  Does Mars really have water? Well scientists think there was water on Mars because there are canals. Canals are areas that look like oceans and rivers. there is a rock thhat look like a face. when a rover it wasn't a face at all.

Now we are going to see how similar Mars and Earth are.

• Their surface
• They both have volcanoes
• And they have deserts 

 

 

 

There is a rover named Curiosity. The scientist built it so it could stay on Mars for 12 months and gather enough evidence that there were living things on Mars. It takes pictures of anything that looks like life. After 12 months it didn't find any life.

 

 

 

 

 That's all for today.  This is The Science Fairy saying keep studying planets!!

                               Mercury and Venus


Hello everyone this is the Science Fairy saying today is your lucky day because you are going to learn about two planets in one day. The planets are Mercury and Venus. Come on we should go to them in person. Here we go.

 

Here we go!

 

 

 

We are going to talk about mercury first. Mercury is an extreme planet. It is one of the fastest of all planets, it is one of the hottest planet, and one of the coldest. Mercury is the closet to the sun in the whole solar system.  Mercury has an extreme view of the sun. Some times the sun looks like it is going backwards!

 

Now that is close.

 

Mercury zooms around the sun at speed of about 48 kilometers per second; earth travels at a speed of about 30 kilometers per second. At certain times and places, Mercury's surface temperature can raise to twice  the temperature inside an oven when you are baking a cake. That is hot! But on the other hand, in the shadow of the north poles craters, Mercury is ice like the north pole.

 

 

 Since Mercury is so close to the sun not even our most powerful telescope can see it. When we look through it  looks like a blurry white ball. But here's the good news. In 1974  we really started to learn about Mercury. In 1974-1975, the mariner 10n flew in and sent back 12,000 pictures of it.

That is blurry.

You are probably wondering where the name Mercury came from? Well Mercury came for a Roman god named Mercury. He was the ruler of the sun. So they decided that since Mercury was the closest we chose the name it Mercury. Here's a picture of him.

 

This is the last thing we are going to learn about Mercury. We are going to learn about the Messenger. It's not a messenger that gives messages it is a spacecraft. This space craft began orbiting Mercury. Messenger's job is to map the rest of the planet, study what it is made of , it will take measurements of Mercury's magnetic fields, and look for clues. Now lets move on. Next up Venus.

 

This one is going to be very short. Venus was named after a goddess of love and beauty. Venus is known as the sister planet. Back in the day people thought that it is a calm gentle planet. Not!! It is really the evil twin. It has volcanoes, huge craters, and it thunders and lighting every single day. No human/animal can survive because of its harsh climates. Even if it had water it would evaporate super fast. So that means it is a very dry planet. Venus is a little bit smaller than earth.

 

 

 

Now we are going to see what they have in common .

1. They have no moons.
2. They are both named after a god/goddess
3. They both live near the sun.
4. They both have no animal life.

 

That's all for today.  We should go home now.

 

 

We are back home hope you had a spacy time. This is the Science Fairy saying keep exploring.
