Geocentric vs. Heliocentric Models	Astronomy- The study of space and other objects in the universe Geocentric model- A theory that proves that the earth in the center of universe Heliocentric model- A theory that proves that the sun in the center of universe Ptolemy- A person who thinks earth in the center of universe  Copernicus- A person who thinks sun in the center of universe Revolution- Movements of the earth around the orbit
Rotation	Rotation- The spinning of earth on its tilt (24 hour)  Polaris- Polaris is a star which helps us find the north polis Earth's Axis- Imaginary line in the middle of the earth  Axis Tilt (how much)- The earth's axis tilted 23.5 Hemisphere- Half of the earth (northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere) Equator- An imaginary line that divided earth into two equal parts
Revolution	Revolution Length (how long)- For the earth it is close to 365.25 days. Orbit- It is curved path of an object   Ellipse- A rounded line around the sun  Constellation- Group of many stars  Perihelion- Perihelion (earth) round around the sun on one side (far from the sun)   Aphelion- Aphelion (earth) round around the sun on the other side (close to the sun)
Standard Time Zones	longitude- Longitude is a line to specified east west to east position. Prime Meridian- Prime meridian is a longitude that located at 0 degree. International Date Line (IDL) - An imaginary line that starts from north and ends at south (east side is one day earlier than west) Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)- Solar time on the 0 degree meridian that pass through Greenwich England
Seasons	Direct sunlight- When the earth is getting straight sunlight (summer) Indirect sunlight- When earth is not getting straight sunlight (winter)
Solstices	Winter Solstice- When the sunlight direct in the southern hemisphere it is less sun of the year (Dec 21/22) Summer Solstice- When the sunlight direct to the northern hemisphere it is most sun of the year (June 21/22)
Equinoxes	Equinoxes- When the night and days in 12 hour are equal Spring Equinox (date) - March 21/22 Fall Equinox (date) - September 21/22
Solar Eclipses	Lunar revolution- The movements of moon around the earth (27-29 days) Total solar eclipse- Moon cover the whole sun Partial solar eclipse- Moon cover a part of the sun Umbra- When moon completely cover the sun is called umbra Penumbra- When moon cover the sun only part of it

Spring Tide	Tides (high and low)- A giant water wave that caused by the gravity of moon & earth and rotation of earth. When moon, sun and earth line on at one line, it will become high tide. When moon, sun and earth line at 90 degree it will have a low tide Water Level & Sea Level- The level of water moves because the movements os moon around the earth Gravitational force from the moon on earth- When gravity of moon caused ocean water to move Spring Tides- When three of the planets (sun, moon, earth) are in one straight line so it maximize the gravity of the tide is either really high or really low
Neap Tide	Neap Tides- When three of the planets (sun, moon, earth) are in one straight line so it minimize the gravity of the tide is really low

Shaking Our World Project

Critical Thinking Question 

Plate tectonics are the scientific theory that tells us about the earth layers. I agree with the theory of plate tectonics. We have so many evidences to prove that our earth’s plates are moving which are also causing natural disasters. Scientists have been using these evidences since so many years. The evidences that we could use to prove that earth’s plates are moving are convection currents, continental drift and plate boundaries. The earth layers are divide into two plates the continental plate and oceanic plate. Convection currents are the movement of plates on the earth. Convection currents are caused by the very hot liquid at the deep part of the mantle that caused the crust on the mantle to move so it caused the crust on the mantle to move as well. Convection current causes the plate to move slowly with each year. Earth's plates move three inches every year. Continental drift is also evidence; it is a hypothesis that claims that 300 million years ago all the continents were in shape of Pangaea, which broke up 250 million years ago. Plate boundaries are also one of the evidence to prove that earth's plates are moving. Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundary cause earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami, mid-ocean ridges, trenches, rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges and mountains. This shows us that earth's plates are moving slowly each year.

Reflection

    1.  What did you enjoy most about this project and why?

    I enjoyed learning about different layers of earth and how different boundaries can cause natural disasters. 

    2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?

     The most challenging part was to memorize all the vocabulary words and the definition.

    3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?

     I learned to manage my time and working independently. 

     4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.

     I think I would like to have more time to do the project, because we had internship at the same time so most of the work we had to finish it from home, since the materials were in class. 

     5. What would you change about this project?

     I would like to improve, the presentation of the project and make it more interesting with adding more details.
