On Monday, October 26, 2009, my class visited the American Museum of Natural History. When we went to the Rose Hall for Earth and Space, i learned about my weight on different planets and moons, but I couldn't find any information on the Crab Nebula. In the Hall of Meteorites, me and a bunch of other people went searching for the answers on our sheet and learned a lot about Cape York. In the "Journey to the Stars" movie, I sat back and relaxed while taking an exciting journey through space while learning about stars.
While in the museum, i learned about Cape York (what it is and when it happened). I also learned about different types of stars (when they are born, how long they live, how/when they die). I also about what meteorites are and where they come from.
The only to questions i have left after our visit are ones that I couldn't find the answers to. Where is my nebula? (I couldn't find ANY information!) And why is my nebula called the "Crab" Nebula? (Is it in the constelation of Cancer the Crab?)
I liked the part where you talked about the "journey to the stars movie" What it talked about and what you learned from it. One thing I thought you could add to your post was mention one of the meteorites you discovered and wrote down on your worksheet. One question I still have is,"how can you find information about Crab Nebula to make your blog more interesting for future viewers to read?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that you were very informative about describing the trip to the AMNH. You added a lot of detail, which is great. I must admit, it is a little long, but that's not a bad thing. A suggestion is that you could be a bit more descriptive about the Hall of Meteorites. But other than that, you did a great job. I want to know more about Crab Nebula though. Who discovered it? Where was it discovered? What was the year and day was it was discovered? Could I see an image as well?
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you explained evrything. One thing you could change is be more descriptive. Where can you find in space your crab nebula?
