Mr. Denton's class will be researching lightyears. You will make a Prezi that answers the following questions in a presentation.

1. What is a lightyear? (with a video)
2. How do you calculate a lightyear? (with a video)


You will also read the following worksheet and answer the questions beneath it. Put each question in a bubble in your Prezi.

(The following is a worksheet from an online source! I will give you the link after you complete the assignment to get the correct answers!)
While the sun is often referred to as the most important star within our solar system, it is certainly not the only one. There are too many stars for us to even begin to count. See how many you can count while gazing up at the sky on a clear night. Not only are there too many stars to count but, the stars are beyond our imagination as to how far away they are. They are so far away that standard units of measurement like miles and kilometers are awkward to measure these distances, therefore a unit known as the light year is used.
A light year is defined as the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light moves extremely fast, 300,000 km/s or 180,000 miles/second. In one second light can travel around Earth almost four times. Nothing travels faster, establishing light as the ultimate speed limit. In 31,536,000 seconds--or one year--light will travel a distance of 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.86 trillion miles, or 240 million times around Earth. This distance equals one light year.
Because light travels so very fast, everything appears to happen instantly in our everyday experience. If we are watching the Baltimore Ravens kick a field goal, we assume that the ball was kicked right at the moment that we saw it. In actuality we must see the light that is being reflected from the ball, and it does take time for the light to travel from the ball to our eyes. If the distance from the ball to our eyes were 10 m, the light reflecting off the ball would take only 300 millionths (.000003) of a second to reach our eyes, thus making it seem instantaneous.
Stars are millions and millions of kilometers away. To see a star, that star’s light must travel across space to our eyes. If the star is 5 light years away, then the light we are seeing from that star took five years to travel to our eyes. It also means that what we see happening at that star is actually what happened five years ago, not what is happening in the star’s present.

1.) Imagine that there is a planet with intelligent beings on it that's 20 light years away from Earth. These beings have an extremely powerful telescope and can actually make out details of what is happening on Earth. If they aim their telescope at the White House in Washington, DC, who would they find living there as the president and first lady?
       ______________________________________________________________
2.) Suppose that a child is born on Earth in the year 2000.You are on an imaginary planet that is 94.6 trillion kilometers away from Earth and looking through a very high powered telescope and you witness this child’s third birthday party. How old is that child on Earth at the time you are watching the child’s third birthday party? (Hint: Calculate the number of light years this planet is from Earth.)
   _____________________________________________________________________
3.) On another imaginary planet in the year 2000, someone is looking through a high powered telescope aimed at Earth, and is observing America’s Bicentennial celebration in Boston, Massachusetts. How many light-years away is the planet from Earth? How far away is this planet (in kilometers)?
____________________________________________________________________
4.) Are any of the 9 planets within our solar system a light year or more from Earth? Support your response by giving the distances between the planets.

Scientific Investigation

The U.S Constitution

the giver by Lois lorry essay by Jason Mendoza



the giver is about a boy named Jonas who has to change the world of sameness until the ceremony of 12 then he gets picked to be the receiver of memories then he learns that the utopia is a living hell so he runs off with Gabriel a little baby  and he also learns that release means death here is some stuff about Jonas. Sensitive and intelligent, with strange powers of perception that he doesn’t understand, Jonas is chosen to be the new Receiver of Memory for his community when he turns twelve. Even before his training, Jonas is unusually thoughtful, expresses great concern for his friends and family, and thinks it would be nice to be closer to other people. After his training begins, Jonas’s universe widens dramatically. His new awareness of strong emotions, beautiful colors, and great suffering makes him extremely passionate about the world around him and the welfare of the people he loves, though on the whole he remains level-headed and thoughtful.




   so Jonas takes his dads bike and takes Gabriel to else where to live.but it proved too difficult and they almost died.






     to asher from jonas the world is not as it seems they will kill you im running off asher so please join me and gabe sincerely jonas



  re asher i will not it is too dangerous i will not rat you out do not run away sincerely asher



The Giver -  The old man known in the community as the Receiver of Memory. The Giver has held the community’s collective memory for many years and uses his wisdom to help the Committee of Elders make important decisions, even though he is racked by the pain his memories give him and believes that perhaps those memories belong in the minds of everyone in the community.




Jonas’s father  -  A mild-mannered, tenderhearted Nurturer who works with infants. He is very sweet with his two children. He enjoys his job and takes it very seriously, constantly trying to nurture children who will stay alive until the Ceremony of Names. However, even if he is attached to a child, he will release it if that seems to be the best decision. He has an affectionate, playful relationship with his two children, usually referring to them by silly nicknames, and he likes playing childish games with the children he nurtures.Jonas’s mother -  A practical, pleasant woman with an important position at the Department of Justice. Jonas’s mother takes her work seriously, hoping to help people who break rules see the error of their ways. She frequently gives Jonas advice about the worries and fears he faces as he grows up.





Lily -  Jonas’s seven-year-old sister. She is a chatterbox and does not know quite when to keep her mouth shut, but she is also extremely practical and well-informed for a little girl.Gabriel -  The newchild that Jonas’s family cares for at night. He is sweet and adorable during the day, but has trouble sleeping at night unless Jonas puts him to sleep with some memories. He and Jonas become very close.



Asher -  Jonas’s best friend. Asher is a fun-loving, hasty boy who usually speaks too fast, mixing up his words to the exasperation of his teachers and Jonas. He is assigned the position of Assistant Director of Recreation.Fiona -  Another of Jonas’s friends. She has red hair, which only Jonas can see, and works as a Caretaker in the House of the Old. She is mild-mannered and patient. Jonas’s first sexual stirrings come in the form of an erotic dream about Fiona.




Larissa -  A woman living in the House of the Old. Jonas shares pleasant conversation with her while he gives her a bath during his volunteer hours. Like many inhabitants of the House of the Old, she enjoys gossip and looks forward to her release.The Chief Elder -  The elected leader of Jonas’s community. She to shows genuine affection for all of the children at the Ceremony of Twelve, knowing of their names and an anecdote about each one.

hydrogen and oxygen

Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With an atomic weight of 1.00794 u, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.[note 1] Non-remnant stars are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state. The most common isotope of hydrogen, termed protium (name rarely used, symbol 1H), has a single proton and zero neutrons. The universal emergence of atomic hydrogen first occurred during the recombination epoch. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, nonmetallic, highly combustible diatomic gas with the molecular formula H2. Since hydrogen readily forms covalent compounds with most non-metallic elements, most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as in the form of water or organic compounds. Hydrogen plays a particularly important role in acid–base reactions. In ionic compounds, hydrogen can take the form of a negative charge (i.e., anion) known as a hydride, or as a positively charged (i.e., cation) species denoted by the symbol H+. The hydrogen cation is written as though composed of a bare proton, but in reality, hydrogen cations in ionic compounds are always more complex species than that would suggest. As the simplest atom known, the hydrogen atom has had considerable theoretical application. For example, the hydrogen atom is the only neutral atom with an analytic solution to the Schrödinger equation. Hydrogen gas was first artificially produced in the early 16th century, via the mixing of metals with acids. In 1766–81, Henry Cavendish was the first to recognize that hydrogen gas was a discrete substance, and that it produces water when burned, a property which later gave it its name: in Greek, hydrogen means "water-former". Industrial production is mainly from the steam reforming of natural gas, and less often from more energy-intensive hydrogen production methods like the electrolysis of water. Most hydrogen is employed near its production site, with the two largest uses being fossil fuel processing (e.g., hydrocracking) and ammonia production, mostly for the fertilizer market. Hydrogen is a concern in metallurgy as it can embrittle many metals, complicating the design of pipelines and storage tanks.Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table and is a highlyreactive nonmetallic element and oxidizing agent that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with most elements.By mass, oxygen is thethird-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At STP, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a diatomicgas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless; with the formula O
2.
Many major classes of organic molecules in living organisms, such as proteinsnucleic acidscarbohydrates, and fats, contain oxygen, as do the major inorganic compounds that are constituents of animal shells, teeth, and bone. Most of the mass of living organisms is oxygen as it is a part of water, the major constituent of lifeforms (for example, about two-thirds of human body mass). Elemental oxygen is produced bycyanobacteriaalgae and plants, and is used in cellular respiration for all complex life. Oxygen is toxic to obligately anaerobic organisms, which were the dominant form of early life on Earth until O

 began to accumulate in the atmosphere. Free elemental O
2
 only began to accumulate in the atmosphere about 2.5 billion years ago (see Great oxygenation event) about a billion years after the first appearance of these organisms.Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the volume of air
. Oxygen is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust as part of oxide compounds such as silicon dioxide, making up almost half of the crust's mass.
Oxygen is an important part of the atmosphere, and is necessary to sustain most terrestrial life as it is used in respiration. However, it is too chemically reactive to remain a free element in Earth's atmosphere without being continuously replenished by the photosynthetic action of living organisms, which use the energy of sunlight to produce elemental oxygen from water. Another form (allotrope) of oxygen, ozone (O
3
), strongly absorbs UVB radiation and consequently the high-altitude ozone layer helps protect the biosphere from ultraviolet radiation, but is a pollutant near the surface where it is a by-product of smog. At even higher low earth orbit altitudes, atomic oxygen is a significant presence and a cause of erosion for spacecraftOxygen is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquefied air, use of zeolites with pressure-cycling to concentrate oxygen from air, electrolysis of water and other means. Uses of elemental oxygen include the production of steelplastics andtextilesbrazing, welding and cutting of steels and other metalsrocket propellantoxygen therapy and life support systems in aircraft,submarinesspaceflight and diving.

How To Craft







                            This paper is how to craft stuff in minecraft we will start off easy crafting recipes and then to the harder recipes.Ok first lets start with how to craft a crafting table first punch a block of wood then craft it into four wooden planks then after that punch the whole tree down then craft the wood into wooden planks minecraft also has math so if you have five wooden blocks and you want to craft them in to wooden planks but before you craft them you want to know how much you for one wood block is for planks so five wood blocks equals twenty wooden planks.




                                          Next we will learn how to craft a pickaxe,shovel,axe,hoe,sword and a bow first a pickaxe so the pick axe is really simple with all of them they need two sticks and you need two sticks and three wooden planks for a wooden pickaxe for a stone pickaxe is two sticks and three pieces of cobble stone then you get a stone pickaxe and so on with all of them you can only craft them with wood,stone,iron,gold and diamonds so with shovels its one of those elements above you need two sticks and one elements for an axe is two sticks and two elements above and for a hoe is two sticks and three elements above for a sword is one sticks and two of the elements above but for a bow is three sticks and three sticks.






                     Now we will learn how to craft bread,cake and cookies. first with bread you will need to plant some wheat seeds or get them from a village and plant them and once they are ready to harvest you harvest them and then you have to have to have three pieces of wheat in order to craft some brad you do not use a furnace to make bread you use the crafting table. Now we will learn how to craft the cake first you need an egg from a chicken and six pieces of wheat and three buckets of milk from a cow and thats how you craft a cake.Now on to cookies now that the xbox version of minecraft has a jungle biome now you can get cocoa beans out in the jungle if you want a cocoa farm cut down a small jungle tree make sure to replant and grab the wood and place is and then get the cocoa beans and then plant the cocoa beans on the wood now the cookies need 2 whet and one cocoa bean and that gives you eight cookies








                                                          Now on two the last paragraph how to craft gold armor for a golden helmet it takes five gold ingots to craft a gold helmet for a gold chest plate it takes seven gold ingots to craft a golden chest plate now for golden leggings it also takes seven gold ingots to craft golden leggings. Now for the last one it is golden boots and that just takes four gold ingots to craft the golden boots for more crafting help go on to the internet specifically minecraft forums.
Social Media (ways of communication)




                                  Since the dawn of man there was always the need to communicate so i will give you the evolution of being social.We start at the dawn of man cave man who were to lazy to just talk so there way to be social is to write messages or drawing on a rock and throw it.Now we move on to more modern times like ancient Greece where the boat sailed to other island and horses go to other kingdoms on horses to dilive books letters and trade.




Now on to ancient Egypt where they were getting the slaves in order to build the pyramids and they sent scrolls to inform the people that they have been chosen by the king.Now on to the dark ages where paradise was demolished and disease was king killing people every minute times were hard and there only way to communicate was through carrying pigeons which carried messages from one kingdom to another.




Now we move on to the birth of america the thirteen colonies the way they communicated was now in many different forms from Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense to the invention of the newspaper to Paul Revere's famous night.




Now we move on to the 1950s or 60s i mean nuke town where cell phones have been invented and the newspapers are still rolling letters still a flown and last but not least the present now we have so much technology that everything that happens in the future happens now because now we have facebook,instagram,twitter,skype and twitch.





An example is twich what is twich ? twitch is a social media network that lets you communicate with others or if you subscribed to a youtuber then you can see what he is doing your phone or computer will let you know if he is doing a live stream then you can toon in to see what he is doing some times they will do a charty event to raise money to find a cure for cancer or for the animal shelter I have a lot of people who do live stream for example poet plays is a channel where he does minecraft stuff.
  FORCE

   Force is made up of 4 things force can be a push or a pull or force could be (Force is the capacity to do work or cause physical change)that could be another one for Force or here's another one (Force=Mass Times Acceleration or( F=ma )  or the last one is (A Force is that which changes or tends to change the state of rest or motion of a body
     Are Video Games Bad For You






                                    Are video games bad for you I say that they are not I think they are good for you only some of them for example minecraft helps maintain your creativity also if a zombie apocalypse  like some games that have a zombie scenario in it.. A growing body of research is showing the flip side, though – video games can help people see better, learn more quickly, develop greater mental focus, become more spatially aware, estimate more accurately, and multitask more effectively. Some video games can even make young people more empathetic, helpful and sharing. As public debate on the subject is often highly emotive and polarised, and as more and more of us are becoming gamers, researchers say it is important to move beyond the generalisations that characterise much of the discussion.







                                                 Part of this has stemmed from the fact that 20th-Century video gaming research often failed to distinguish between game genres. Studies lumped together the different brain processes involved when racing cars, shooting baddies, street fighting, and completing puzzles.   But with the benefit of hindsight, researchers now recognise they hold only limited insights into the impacts of video games..  Researchers know from years of studies that when men and women are given the task of rotating two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects in their heads, men tend to perform better than women. When Jing Feng, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, in Canada, and colleagues asked a small group of non-gamers to play either Medal of Honor or the 3D puzzle game Ballance for 10 hours over several sessions, they were surprised by the results. They found the action game training boost the scores of the female participants more than it did the males, and the effect of the training was still apparent five months later.





          We already knew that there are gender differences in mental rotation but it was interesting to see they exist in our ability to effectively distribute attention in space, and more importantly that this is something that can be diminished through playing action video games .When we play games we want to be affected in some way, otherwise it would be boring. What we now know is that across cultures and age groups computer games can either cause problems or be beneficial, depending on its content."Video games are neither inherently good nor bad,".
