(1) Watch the following video, titled: What's Inside The Griffith Observatory? (24:57 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEeBFi89Gfs (Links to an external site.) (2) Visit the Website of the Griffith Observatory in details at www.griffithobservatory.org (Links to an external site.) 3) Use the information from the video and website as your sources TASK In detail, combine the information and knowledge that you get from the video and the website and then write a report that is about 5 pages long. Make sure to include…

Consider the chapters 1 & 2 readings; write and post an approximately 350-word response about an aspect of the readings that you don’t understand, or something that jars you; formulate an insightful question or two about the reading and then attempt to answer your own questions; and respond to another student’s post (about 100-word), building upon it, disagreeing with it, or re-thinking it. In any case, strive for thoughtfulness and nuance. Respond this: One aspect of chapter 1 is section…

One of the best ways to demonstrate understanding of important concepts is to see if you can explain them to a child. For this assignment, you’ll create an imaginary web page (though it can be a real one, if you have that capability) to explain one of the concepts from the book "Dispatches from Planet 3 by Marcia Bartusiak" to someone approximately junior high school age. Feel free to make this as colorful as you wish. It can be a…

Mysteries, unknown life, and things we cannot dream of yet are out there in the far reaches of the Universe. When we humans finally are able to move forward in life and travel beyond our solar system, we will be looking for one main thing, the existence…

Term Assignment Part 3 https://www.zooniverse.org/collections/vrnorellana/stars?page=1 Now that you've analyzed a lot of data from your term assignment, it's time to start writing it up. This write-up will be similar to a lab report. You have .. goals: explain the big-picture overview of the scientific question that this project is trying to answer, explain the data being used to address this question, explain your method in analyzing that data, show your results, and come to a conclusion by telling me what…

Did humans land on the Moon? Why do some people still propose that we have not? What scientific facts contradict their accusations? Watch the Mythbusters Episode on the Moon Landing (available on YouTube and Netflix) and find other arguments to address which have been proposed by non-believers. Note that the Mythbusters episode is a good place to start but cannot be your only source.

I drew a picture from the perspective on the moon. The professor requires us to write a short accompanying statement explaining the work — the background information, references, and reasoning behind the choices in the depiction. Following that idea of being a "planetary explorer," as in the art creation, in this writing you can explain what you see and how you make sense of it — again, based on the background knowledge you bring to it. If your artwork is…
