Introducing Fantastic Factors!

Hey blogger world,

this is my tutorial where I will be introducing factors! I hope you liked my last tutorial and if you think I could improve give me a comment down below! If you really like this try and make your own tutorial! 

What is wrong with the sizes of the Moon every night?

In Week 6 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great explanations.

We wrote about the Moon’s different phases as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great explanation will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

WHY DOES THE MOON LOOK DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT?

Despite a good sleep, the Moon shines brightly but is different every night. It has a different size every night, you can either see more or less of the Moon. Here Today I am going to introduce the Moon’s orbit, Phases of the Moon and the time it takes between two new moons.

As the Moon orbits Earth, we either see more or less of the illuminated side. The Moon looks different every night because of the phases of the Moon. This is a result of the rotation the Moon makes. As heard, the Moon revolves the Earth and is tilted from our orbit around the Sun. It was believed that the shadows of the Moon is triggered because of the Earth's shadow. However, it was proven by scientists that the phase of the Moon are actually made because of the Sun's reflection.

In total, there is eight different lunar phases. Our first phase is new Moon and our last phase is a Waning Crescent. Lunar phases are spread out into almost a month. They are different because of the rotation the Moon generates by rotating the Earth. We would either see more or less of the reflected Sun light which the Moon gives at night. Lunar phases are named New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and last but not least the Waning Crescent.

• Precisely, the size of time between a single new moon and the next is called a lunar month.  It  is exactly about 29.5 days in a lunar month. But the time it takes for the Moon to make one complete orbit around Earth is actually a bit less: about 27.3 days. The Moon takes 2 days for it to actually catch up with Earth's orbit. This means it is likely to be just like February each month of a Moon year!

In general,

this has explained the reasons why the Moon looks different every night. If this has inspired you. You may possibly make your own explanation around this topic. I suggest you would like to visit (http://www.planetsforkids.org/moon-moon.html) this has a lot of information for you to keep in the back of your mind.

Discovering The Layers Of Mars!

In Week 5 of Term 2 our class focused on how to write great information reports.

We wrote about the planet Mars as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great information report will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time.

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Discovering the layers of Mars

Mars is the 4th planet from the sun in our solar system. Mars orbits the sun and is named after the Roman God of War. This report will explain every little detail you need to know about Mars!AppearanceMars is Earth’s neighbor and is the 4th planet near the sun. Mars’ has a iron surface which causes it to be a red shade. Mars has a red, fiery colour to it, it may look hot but don’t let it fool you(but is not typically hot). Amazingly, Mars is home to Olympus Mons which is the largest mountain in our solar system. Shockingly, Olympus Mons is measured at 6792 km across, Mars is still only the 2nd smallest planet. Fascinatingly, Mars is only half the size of Earth which is amazing!Could Humans Live on Mars? Mars is known to have no life and is a non inhabitable planet. Oxygen is needed in everyday life but Mars is known to have no existence of oxygen because it has a thin atmosphere on Mars. It is home to the most stormiest dust storms in the solar system.  As heard before, Mars is home to the biggest, and dangerous volcano (Olympus Mons) in our Solar System. Unfortunately, H20 is inaccessible on Mars therefore no life could survive on this planet. This is factual information so don't you think of putting your family's life into danger by thinking this is a fun, family vacation because it is not!Mars’ Moons. Mars’ has weird Moons and is not near as regular as Earth's Moon. Imagine, Mars having circled but two irregular shaped Moons but it is a reality. They are shaped as two lumpy potatoes. These Moons are named Phobos and Deimos. The biggest Moon that circles Mars is called Phobos which is measured 28 kilometers across. Despite, its size, Mars has a lot of things apart of it. Mars has two Moons but they are not the same to the Moon we see at night.Conclusion Mars, Earth's closest neighbor, despite its small size is awfully fascinating. Now that you have seen my perspective on why Mars is a hostile environment, you can learn more at https://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/choices/mars1.htm If you liked this a lot, you might want to make your own non chronological report about Space or a Planet!  

My Information Report Success Criteria:	Self	Peer
My heading:
is an interesting title (I might have phrased the title as a question.)	*	*
My opening paragraph:
says what my report is about in a clear way	*	*
gives a general “classification” – and maybe a technical classification	*	*
outlines the main features of the subject	*	*
My main paragraphs:
have sub-headings where helpful	*	*
have clear topic sentences  (topic and main point)	*	*
are organised so that each paragraph is about a different aspect of the subject	*	*
give detailed information (factual descriptions)
include specific, technical vocabulary	*	*
are generally balanced (have a similar amount of detail about the different aspects I write about)
may have helpful: tables, pictures and/or diagrams to add information
My end paragraph:
draws the report together/sums up my main points
may give a personal opinion; ask the reader a question and/or tell the reader where further information may be found	*	*

How To Be A Confident And Competent Problem Solver!

Hi Blogging World,I hope you have loved my recent blog posts! I love all your comments you give me! This is a explain everything about how to be a confident and a competent problem solver with ordinary problems and Maths problems. There are four stages, Getting started, Working on the problem or Answering the question, Going further and Concluding. Here is this clip above is me explaining what to do and how to but the stages into action! If you like this comment below so I can upload more resources for you to use.

My Step By Step Guide To Using Place Value With Division!

This is my Explain Everything for this Term. This Explain Everything explains a recent strategy that I have learnt with my group. This is hopefully going to help you with place value Division. My next step is to hopefully make a Explain Everything about prime numbers and composite numbers. What do you think I need to work on? Tell me below!
