As the mass of the planet increases its gravity increases.<br /><br />Heavy planets have stronger gravity than light planets. We went to see how much we weighed on other planets at <A HREF="http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/weight.shtml">Enchanted Learning</A>.<br /><br />The Sun exerts the greatest gravitational force in the Solar System.<br /><span style="text-align:center;width:380px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/92661.5fb39f6cb0f/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="158" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/bubble_slide.swf?2462" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="380" /><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px"><br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/92661.5fb39f6cb0f" style="font-size:100%;">This album</a> is powered by<br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com" style="font-size:100%;">BubbleShare</a><br /> - <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/92661.5fb39f6cb0f/share#add_to_blog" style="font-size:100%;">Add to my blog</a><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36120884-116464038429161532?l=tickettospacekirklandneuk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kirklandneuk Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04869580677630591513noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36120884.post-1164639863156428932006-11-27T14:58:00.000Z2006-12-05T11:54:27.160ZThis week we found out what affects the temperature of the planets. We tried out online-pioneer and altered the albedo (refelctiveness) of the planet. We also changed the thickness of the planet's atmosphere and the planet's distance from the sun. All these made a difference to the planet's temperature.<br /><br />Post a message saying what you learned this week.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36120884-116463986315642893?l=tickettospacekirklandneuk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kirklandneuk Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04869580677630591513noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36120884.post-1163353992184820322006-11-12T17:40:00.000Z2006-12-11T14:47:09.840ZHere are our space groups.<br /><span style="text-align:center;width:280px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/88862.f7f36c346ba/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="215" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/album_mini_bouncy.swf?2346" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="280" /><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px"><br /><br />This week online, we are designing and launching a space probe to our planets. We will be posting comments about how successful we were. <br /><br />In the online activity we have to look at:<br />What <strong>power supply</strong> to use.<br /> eg battery and solar power or nuclear power<br /><br />What <strong>thermal control</strong> to use.<br /> eg passive cooling (sunshades and reflective paint)<br /> active cooling (refrigerators to keep cool)<br /> active heating (electric heaters to keep warm)<br /><br />What <strong>size</strong> of rocket to use.<br /> eg small rocket which can launch a small probe with not too much equipment on board.<br /> medium rocket which can launch a medium sized probe with more equipment<br /> large rocket that can launch more complex probes.<br /><br /><em>But remember the larger the probe the more expensive they are!!</em><br /><br />In class we made some rockets and tried to make them move across the room!<br /><span style="text-align:center;width:380px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/88843.af2e14ef8b5/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="158" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/bubble_slide.swf?2346" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="380" /><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px"><br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/88843.af2e14ef8b5" style="font-size:100%;">This album</a> is powered by<br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com" style="font-size:100%;">BubbleShare</a><br /> - <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/88843.af2e14ef8b5/share#add_to_blog" style="font-size:100%;">Add to my blog</a><br /></span></span><br /><span style="text-align:center;width:380px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/98025.2700d1fa11a/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="158" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/bubble_slide.swf?2538" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="380" /><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px;display:block;"><br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/98025.2700d1fa11a" style="font-size:100%;">This album</a> is powered by<br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com" style="font-size:100%;">BubbleShare</a><br /> - <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/98025.2700d1fa11a/share#add_to_blog" style="font-size:100%;">Add to my blog</a><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36120884-116335399218482032?l=tickettospacekirklandneuk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kirklandneuk Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04869580677630591513noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36120884.post-1163007755331293132006-11-08T17:42:00.000Z2006-11-27T12:01:36.263ZThis week we have been finding out about the distances of the planets from the sun. We designed out own mnemonics for remembering the planet order.<br /><br />The distance of the Earth from the Sun is called 1 Astronomical unit. 1 Astronomical unit is 149 598 000 kilometres!<br /><br /><span style="text-align:center;width:280px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/85301.8aad504658e/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="215" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/album_mini_bouncy.swf?2346" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="280" /><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px"><br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/85301.8aad504658e" style="font-size:100%;">This album</a> is powered by<br /><a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com" style="font-size:100%;">BubbleShare</a><br /> - <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/85301.8aad504658e/share#add_to_blog" style="font-size:100%;">Add to my blog</a><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36120884-116300775533129313?l=tickettospacekirklandneuk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kirklandneuk Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04869580677630591513noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36120884.post-1161731300793922472006-10-25T00:03:00.000+01:002006-11-13T10:22:49.950ZThis week in space school we learned about the planets in our solar system.

Primary 5/6 is taking part in Ticket to Space during our science lessons. Our blog will be a record of all our learning. We're looking forward to starting space school after the October holiday.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36120884-116100951148329699?l=tickettospacekirklandneuk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kirklandneuk Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04869580677630591513noreply@blogger.com2
