Facts About The Moon

The Moon



Some people say that the sun is a planet when in fact that it is really just a giant star in the sky like the others but brighter. Some believe that the sun goes around is earth but really it is in the middle of our solar system and we go around it because it would take a really long to go around us so that's why we go around it. When we can see the moon at night the sun is in fact shining on that part of the moon and thats is how we can see it. People think that the earth goes around the moon but then we wouldn’t be able to see it because the sun won’t shine on it. I am going to show you the moon circle it starts with the New Moon and we can’t see that one then it goes to the Waxing Moon or crescent Waxing quarter looks like a half Waxing gibbous full moon we can all see that then Waning gibbins slowly gets dark again Waning quarter half dark Waning crescent a little bit.

On this task we had to write things that was on the board into our own words and make it into a paragraph.

different types of pencils

There are many different types of pencils and they are scaled called the graphite scale and that was used to measure the hardness and the darkness but nowadays we use a scale with numbers. Like say that there is a 2 on the pencil that has a softer core than other pencils so the bigger the number on the pencil the harder the core inside the pencil is and the softer the core is the darker the line is and the harder the core is the lighter the line will be or if your writing so if you are writing I would go with a number 2 because it is darker but if you are doing art go with a bigger number pencil.

Here I have got many different numbers of pencils and I explain what they mean in the paragraph. 

pens & pencils

At school over 100 hundred years ago students learnt how to write on slate boards and with slate pens if you don't know what a slate board is (it is a board that is made out of a special type of rock that you could write on and then rub it off with a rag. And after a couple of months the kids started to write with pens and paper because paper was very expensive back then.











And the teachers write on blackboards with chalk and the older students used dip pens and it was made of a wood for the handle and a metal tip to dip into the ink and they had to dip it every few words to get some more ink on it but they didn’t dip it too much on because it would drip on the paper and that wouldn’t be good. The desks had a hole in the top right corner and the inkwell would sit in it and then the kids would have to fill them daily from an ink bottle and people still use a pen with a nib because it makes your writing look beautiful. By the 1930s kids were using fountain pens this pen had a tube in the pen for the ink to fill the tube they had to lift up a lever on the side of a pen.







Then they would put the nib in the ink and closed the lever and there would be a hole in the nib and that would feed ink to the tube. Now we use ball point pens it still uses a tube of ink in the center and there is a tiny ball at the tip of the pen and when you move the pen it moves the ball and the ball has ink all over it and it goes over the paper leaving a trail in the oder were you put it. I would rather use the ball point because it is the easiest to use because you don’t have the ink dripping and you don’t have to dip it and it is a not a very complex pen to use.


so here is the history o pens & pencils and it is pretty interesting to know the history and how the old pencils worked and some were very complex and some were very easy to use.

animal communication

Lion’s use many different kinds of communicating like meaows, roars, grunting, moans, growls, snarls, puffs, woofs, purrs and each sound means a different word or a warning





Rabbits have a very complex language they talk to other rabbits they can also talk to humans with many different postiers your rabbit's personality and dialect and they say that the rabbits ears like the rabbits radar.





Monkeys most primates spend their lives in complex tightly woven societies and need to frequently communicate with each other they communicate with smells and sounds and visual messages and touching one another and that's how they talk








Cricket the bottom of the wing of the cricket with like teeth like ridges that make it rough the upper side of the wing is like a scraper and when they rub them together it makes a chirping sound and that is called stridalating and that's how they communicate






here I have made I list of how different animals communicate with each other and they do it very differently and I am very impressed about what I learnt.
