The order of the plantes: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Earth - Only planet that can support life
Mars - Pieces of mars has fallen onto earth
Jupiter - Has 67 moons
Saturn - Has only been visited 4 times by spacecrafts

Neptune - Coldest planet on the solar system

The apparent "moon landing"

Till this day their are still millions of people that truly believes the moon landing back at the September 3rd, 1959 is a hoax. Here are some reasons on why people would think its fake.

E V I D E N C E  

FAKE:

- Because there is no atmosphere on the moon, we would be able to see the thousands of stars present.

- No atmosphere means no wind! so why would the american flag be waving around... Unless there is    wind present because it might've been shot in a studio like area 51. Why would the government              protect area 51 so badly unless they don't want the others to expose them.

- The shadows run diagonal, some photos shows shadows that do not run in a parallel to each other.        With the sun as their only light source, all shadows should run parallel, but they don't, so spotlights        must've been used. Spotlights were also invented in 1914, and its the government doing all of this so      they obviously would be able to afford it.

OBSERVING THE EFFECTS OF ACID RAIN

Acid rain:
When natural gasses are burned, such as coal and oil, green house gasses escape in to the air. The molecules dissolve in the water in the clouds and make the rainwater more acidic than 'normal'.

The formation of acid rain in a three basic process:

1. Pollution of bad chemicals
2. Molecules dissolving
3. precipitation   

Environmental problems:

1. Chemical weathering of the buildings
2. Killing the plants
3. polluting the lakes

We added the 3 drops of universal indicator, 3 drops of bromothynal blue, moist little chunk of apple, moist flower petal and a spatula full of moist calcium carbonate on the sides of the petri dish making sure they don't touch each other. We put the weigh boat on the middle of the petri dish and added 1 scoop of sodium with a little bit of water, stir it, added sulphuric acid and quickly covered the petri dish with the lid 

Observation:

- The universal indicator went from green > red

- Bromothynal indicator went from blue > green/yellow 

- The apple and flower petal meant to be a bit dried out 

- The calcium carbonate was meant to be a bit crusty.

On the beam I am able to get on and jump of it :)
something that i can improve on is jumping over the cone 
When I was on the beam it was difficult at first because I couldn't even stand on it properly. Now I can get on it but some skills I can improve on.  The two poles are kind of hard because when you walk it hurts your arms.
