My Science Inquiry 2021

                    Science Inquiry 2021 - Space Rocks 

Me, Izzy and Riley are researching space rocks we made a slideshow about some of the differences between comets, meteors and meteorites.

I have learnt:

• That when a meteor hits the earth it is called a meteorite. 
• That the name comet is a Greek word meaning Hairy. The trail of the comet is made of rocks and iron it looks like a hairy tail. so a greek astronomer calls comets hairy stars.
• That when a piece of space rock from the asteroid belt enters the earth's atmosphere, it heats up due to friction from the air. The heat causes gases around the meteorite to glow brightly and gravity will naturally pull the meteorite back to the land or sea.
• The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter.

I think that me and my group worked really well because we got our work done and we didn't argue we all had jobs so nobody was left out. 

We are going to make a diorama of the asteroid belt with the planets.    

 This is our slideshow.

I am proud of the  diorama we made

I didn't find everything challenging
