Cold Fronts: Cold fronts is when all the cold air comes toward the hot air. When they touch a cloud starts to form and all the warm air goes above the cold air. It rains from west to east.
Warm Fronts: All the hot or warm air comes toward the cold air and when they touch they form a cloud. The hot or warm air goes on top of the cold air like cold fronts. It rains from East to west.
Stationary Front: The cold and warm air comes towards each other and collide. Then they stay in the same spot because they can't go over the other. A cloud forms in between them and stays there. It rains in one spot.
Occlude Front: All the cold air goes over the cold and warm air. It is a new layer. A cloud forms in the cold air and like all the other it rains after some time.

Atmosphereic Factors-Oscar
Introduction
The way the atmosphere is how our world works. There are four layers of the atmosphere. The four layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere mesosphere and the thermosphere. The layers of the atmosphere help us live on this world. The all help keep this planet safe from things that can harm the planet and the things that live on the planet.It keeps the planet temperature right gives of air that we need to breath with to live and more.
Part1A
Troposphere gives us the temperature the air and all the other things we need to have to live on this planet.It is very important to us because it is the part we live in. It has the land and the water we need. The next layer is the stratosphere. It is the part that protects us from the UV radiation. The radiation can burn us because it is so hot. The ozone is in this part of the atmosphere that helps us from the UV light and can help us from not burning. The mesosphere is to protect us from the asteroids and meteoroids. The meteoroids can hurt the planet. The thermosphere is the start of the atmosphere of earth. It has the Aurora Borealis the northern lights. The atmosphere has two parts. The ionosphere and the exosphere.
Part2A
The
21% of earths gases are the part were it is the oxygen. The 78% is nitrogen and 1% all the other gases on the planet. The reason on the there is so much nitrogen is because the air is mixing with the fossil fuels. That is how we have so much nitrogen in the air. Oxygen is another thing because we have to breath some of it as well. All the other gases are out there but there is to little of it to measure but we do breath other gases as well.
This is the diagram of heat on earth.

Part1A
Part2A
The
Part3A
The North and the south are green so it is colder in there. The blue is were the ozone is starting to die and come into our atmosphere. The yellow is warmer so it is not as cold. The red is the place that is so hot it is hot twenty-fours seven. In the red it up to the 80's or above. The red and the yellow is were we live.
Part1B
Greenhouse
There are several threats to us on the planet. One the ozone can harm us by irritating our eyes. The earth is catching the heat from the sun and like the greenhouse effect it will keep the heat in the atmosphere. The north and south poles are decreasing because the heat is melting the poles to the point that the habits are dieing so that the animals living there are losing home territories. Greenhouse effect is the process by which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by gases that form a "blanket" around Earth. Greenhouse
Part2B
Carbon dioxide water vapor and methane are things that trap heat in our atmosphere. The effect on global warming is that it will hurt the environment in the poles because the ice is cold and the heat will melt the land that animals live on. We should care because if the atmosphere goes all the heat will go up to the point it burns and if it gets cold it starts to freeze and w would be a ice Popsicle. An increase in carbon dioxide will make it hotter and so then the temperature will increase a few degrees Celsius. If there was less carbon dioxide then it would get cooleer but still at a warm temp..
Ozone
The ozone layer is there to protect us from the ultraviolet radiation. Th UV Radiation can burn us and harm us in other ways to. That is why we have the ozone layer. It protects us from the UV light. It helps us from protecting us from UV light. It can harm us by harming our eyes and more.It is in the stratosphere. It is dieing because of our fossil fuel is eating it so less and less so if all gone all the UV light can harm us and more. Styrofoam is one of the things that is harming the ozone layer. IT is starting to break down that more of the UV lights are coming through and harming people. It can do many things that can harm our beings and all the other animals on the world. On the environment all the plants and other beings can die or other things as well. But it will change the way most animals live as well as us. Stop using dangerous things that can harm the ozone layer for instance don't crush the Styrofoam because it hurts the ozone but you can keep it together.
Conclusion
In conclusion to this we need to take care of the earth more because some of it is dieing and we need most of what earth gives us and more.This is another thing house gases . It gets very hot on the equator. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated it is a really hot day because your body needs the moister if not it is going to get hotter.

Ozone Help And Harm
There are two things ozone can do for us. One of them is that it can help us or it can hurt us. But right now we are depleting the amount of ozone by harmful things that will kill all of it. First I am going to talk about how it helps. It helps us by protecting all of us from the UV lights. The UV lights harm by burning us to a crisp. That is how it helps us from UV radiation. It can also harm us by coming into our atmosphere were we live and irritate us. It gets in our eyes and it kills the plants that help produce oxygen for us.
It is for us to keep it in the sky to protect us and not to kill it because it is now depleting because we are killing it with our chemicals. Our chemicals are killing the ozone that protects us from the UV radiation that is now harming us. Styrofoam is one of the big things that are killing the ozone layer. We need to keep this planet in tack because it is probably the only place that is so different from the other planets.

PHOTOCHEMICAL

The issue in the photochemical block the sun light and it can not reach us. The things we are using are hurting the atmosphere and now the stratosphere with the ozone layer can not protect us also it can damage plants or other organisms on earth. Ozone is also damaging and irritating people and also killing plants. The U.S. have passed laws that will help us reduce air pollution. Air quality has improved over the past 30 years. Some other solutions are to become more green and try to keep the area we are in clean and safe for generations to come. It will take us a long time to but in so many years it can be done. The consequences are we can lose the gift of life and the place we once lived on will be nothing but a planet that looks like a moon with no atmosphere.We can still save this planet from dying. Do anything to keep the world clean.

Earth Compared to The Other Planets and Moons
Earths atmosphere is very different from all the other planets and moons. For one it can sustain life. Those that live on earth live like animals plants humans and other kinds of creatures that live on this planet of life. Second is its temperature it sustains a temperature warm and cool enough for those that live on it. In the moons and the planets they all don't have such a great atmosphere to help creatures live. Usual if a crater comes into the orbit of the planet or moon it will just hit the planet and moon and the planet or moon will have a big dent on it but for earth its atmosphere will piratically destroy the asteroid before it touches the surface. Third earth has seasons. The earth will change its temperatures so it will be colder or hotter. It will snow in the cold side or rain and it will get really hot and most likely rain every month one time. That is the difference between the planet earth and the moons and other planets in the galaxy.

Exploration of Space
In the science of the rocket there are three stages to the rockets. The satellite and rockets have been upgraded from the first satellite and rockets. They have been used for survey missions but now they are more recently used for governmental and commercial enterprises. Since the 1950's NASA used Atlas rockets. There are three stages to the rockets. First the atlas, the second stage is the centaur, the last one is the third stage, the payload. The payload is the cargo or the human going up to a satellite or the moon.
NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It began in 1958. They had started on Project Mercury and after that Project Gemini. After the projects, although the Russians beat them in everything, they won the race to the moon. They won with the Apollo mission. Apollo 13 was then launched on April11, 1970. It never touched the moon. It had to turn around when an oxygen tank blew up so with what they had they circled the moon and then came home. The Apollo did not end the exploration on the moon. The Galileo was sent to Jupiter and took some pictures of the moon as it past it by. Prospector was put in search of possible polar ice on the moon.
We are still exploring space today. We have come up with better technology. We have come up with floating robots. It is planned for the International Space station. It is controlled by solar cells. It will help us that become astronauts by being able to tell if there is a problem in temperature. It is a small sized robot.It has been linked to mission Control on Earth. It will allow astronauts communicate with one another.
Benefits of space science is that less than one percent of the U.S. budget is going to the space program. NASA says they support many jobs and say its good for the economy. The exploration of space serves as an inspiration to humans to explore the unknown and push back boundaries.

What causes the Seasons ?
The seasons are caused by the earths solstice and equinox. On the equinox the sun points directly at the middle if earth north or south are tilted. On the solstice the sun points at the north prt of earth or the south part of the earth. The planet is tilted. When the sun is pointing to the soth of the equator it is cold in the north and hot in the south. Samething, when the sun is pointing north it is hot in the north but cold in the south. This is what causes our seasons. The sun is not pointing directly at us or it is. The two factors that does this is the EQUINOX and the SOLSTICE.

Zoom
In the book Zoom it went from a really close view and then it went out. The Big thing you would expect it was a different thing that you would not expect like for example, you were really close to something like a crown of a rooster but the thing was you were so close that you thought it was a big thing of bacteria going all over the place. The thing is it would take you in one perspective and then take you on a roller coaster and it would be way different from what you had.
In the units of 10 it also took you on a adventure. It went from a close view and then it would go out and it showed us how tiny we are in the universe. After that it showed how tiny our galaxy is to all the stars in the other worlds there are. After you go all the way out you go back in and go into yourself and see the tiny cells that live in you and after all that you were still confused but you are now done.
In the whole experience you were trying to figure out what the thing is but also what comes next. The book Zoom and the little video units of 10 is cool but at the same time very weird because it takes you on a strange roller coaster that you will get lost in. This is a funny thing you might like to try but also try to guess right.

My Blog
The five skills a scientist needs are observation, inferring, make models, classifying and predicting. First for observation, the reason the need to do this is to see what will happen and see what happens. After that inferring, to explain what the observation or the knowledge was about.Next is predicting, to guess what will come in the future or what will happen in minutes. Then classifying, put things that are the same into groups and then into a group. Finally you make models. Some make maps others pictures of the place so you can recognize.
The enigma box can contain liquid for as long as it can and then it empties after so long. the way all the liquid gets out is pressure. In the enigma box the thing that pushed all the water out was the air. The enigma box held back 1700 milliliters of colored water before it finally gave way and all the yellow colored water came out. Like a human pressure to push out all the water or liquids out.
The enigma box would look all yellow after it was emptied because the water that was pushed out was colored and yellow. The walls would look watery and yellowed and the tube leading it out of the enigma box would look yellow. The enigma box is like a human bladder. It contains liquid for so long and then it finally lets it all go down the well.The enigma box can contain liquid for as long as it can and then it empties after so long. the way all the liquid gets out is pressure.

The five skills scientist need are vary important to have to work by your self and with others around you. They still learn and and help learn more about the world around us also how we are and the animals around us as well. The enigma box is an example that scientist showed for us to learn more about how the human body is made. These are those that the scientist use observation, inferring, predicting, classifying, and last but not least making a model.
