Science class reflection

Today in science class we're preparing for podcasting. My group is podcasting on someone named Dorothy Hodgkin. For those of you who don't know who she is, she's a famous scientist. Among her most influential discoveries are the determination of the structure of penicillin and vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was born in Egypt and died in 1994, she was 84 do the math. So I posted a picture of what she looked like. Anyway Me and my partner are podcasting on her using new things we haven't learned how to use like garage band. I can't wait to use garage band so I can use it for projects and PowerPoint presentations. I cannot wait to podcast.

Learning more about mercury

Mercury is the densest and smallest planet around the sun! Since it hasn't been explored as much as the other planets, more than half of it's unknown. NASA's Messenger probe will be the first spacecraft to image the whole planet. It was sent out into orbit on January 14, 2008. "With Messenger, many of Mercury's secrets will now be revealed," said NASA's planetary science division director James Green. The only spacecraft to go to the inner parts of the solar system was NASA's Mariner 10, which mapped less than 45 percent of this hot planet. There are a lot of mysteries about the planet mercury we hope to learn a lot more with this new probe.
