         <description><![CDATA[<div> Mars curiosity rover mission <br><br>https://mars.nasa.gov/mars-exploration/missions/mars-science-laboratory/<br><br>I learned that the rover could acquire rock, soil, and air samples for analysis. For the rocks, the rover analyzes them with a laser and could be analyzing up to 4 days.<br><br>The scientists would benefit from this but we would too because we could be closer to putting life on mars.<br><br>One question that this activity left me with was, how does the rover get back to earth?</div>]]></description>

Here is a quote from the text about the impact COVID has had on our earth, that I found interesting and was new to me, "Economic and social shutdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to noticeable changes in Earth’s environment, at least for the short term. NASA researchers are using satellite and ground-based observations to track these impacts on our air ,land, water and climate " We could benefit from learning about this information because it could maybe give us more insight into COVID-19. For instance, the scientist are trying to get more facts about how much the corona virus had impacted our planet too.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On this website I learned that our noise and light pollution affect birds reproduction negatively. Bird populations have declined at least 30% in the last few decades. Scientists believe this is because of noise and light pollution harming them. In this experiment, NASA got a birds eye view on 58,506 nest from 142 species of birds. They found that light pollution birds to begin nesting as much as a month earlier than normal.<br><br>Everyone could benefit learning this because if they are informed they can make steps to solve the problem.<br><br>I am still wondering what noise pollution is, and what effects it has on the rest of the world.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Museum of Natural History: Changing Ice https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/climate-change/changing-ice<br><br>Ice shelves are huge clumps of ice. And scientists found out that the ice shelves act as a dam to glaciers, and the glaciers are rivers filled with ice. And when an ice shelf breaks apart like the Larsen B Antarctic Ice shelf broke, the glaciers flow into the sea and ocean very quick. This makes the sea level rise all around the world. <br><br>I think that people who are trying to stop global warming and other things that have to do with ice will really benefit from this information and they can figure out why it is happening or how to stop the glaciers from flowing into the sea and stop the ice shelves from breaking.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Global climate change 

Climate change is happening because of the greenhouse effect. To put the greenhouse effect in simple words: the sun's heat gets trapped inside of the earth's atmosphere because of pollution and the world's climate begins to mess up, global warming comes in, and it's the reason why the polar ice caps are melting. Climate change is a result of pollution and it starts a domino effect where it ends in the ice caps melting and the ocean getting larger, sometimes the ocean takes over a whole island. And by about 2050 some countries will be fully underwater. ]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On this website I learned than an atomic <strong>nucleus</strong> consists of protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons. Although protons repel each other, the <strong>nucleus</strong> is held tightly together by a short-range, but very strong, force called the strong <strong>nuclear</strong> force. A <strong>nucleus</strong> has less mass than the total mass of its constituent nucleons.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[I visited the Nova Polar Lab. 

Link: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs//lab/polar/research

I learned about Ellesmere Island, Canada. It is often called a polar desert. Temperatures are an average of -36 degrees fahrenheit in winter. Vegetation there does not grow tall because of the harsh climate. 

People who study geography and climate change would benefit from learning about this because it could impact our future and show some important climate changes from the past that could possibly impact our future today.

One question I have is What type of climate does Ellesmere have in the summer?

Nasa.gov.    <a href="https://history.nasa.gov/animals.html">https://history.nasa.gov/animals.html</a></div><div>I learned about how before humans went up into space, It was tested on animals like chimps, other kinds of monkeys, and dogs, to go up into space and come back down safely. For example "On September 20, 1951, a monkey named Yorick and 11 mice were recovered after an Aerobee missile flight of 236,000 feet at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Yorick got a fair amount of press as the first monkey to live through a space flight." This shows that animals have went up into space before humans to test if it was safe or not. I thought It was unbelievable how the animals survived safely throughout the mission.</div>]]></description>

Foraging cameras are cameras set to shoot at 1 minute intervals in order to capture very short behavioral events like parents feeding chicks or changeovers during incubation. I think that this is a really smart idea because then others can experience what penguins do without actually being there. I think that penguin lovers that can't actually go see penguins would benefit from this. I thought that this was really cool.</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/

Vital signs of climate change

Carbon dioxide is a vital sign of climate change because it is a heat trapping greenhouse gas. Also that humans are to be at fault for the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, since 1850 the amount of industrial work has increased by almost 50%

Learning this is beneficial because it can help us learn how to counter climate change.

This text leaves me wondering what kind of industrial work is causing the spike in carbon dioxide.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I learned that there is a new gene called SARS-CoV-2 that could have a significant impact on how we combat the virus. There is a new a overlapping gene in SARS-CoV-2 called ORF3d. ORF3d has been independently identified and shown to elicit a strong antibody response in COVID-19 patients, demonstrating that the new gene’s protein is manufactured during human infection. <br>I wonder what scientists/doctors will do with this information.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I learned that we know climate change is real from the warming trend that is going around the universe. Nasa has predicted that the result of this significant warming trend around the Earth is approximately from 95% of the of the human population since the middle of the 20th century! We also know that climate change is out there from warming global temperature, warming oceans, rise in sea level, and so much more devastating effects. We know this from all of the helpful tools that scientists use to see the "big picture." Many advocates and scientists that are looking to stop climate change will benefit from this information because they will know how climate change will affect the atmosphere and what things are part of climate change that they can try and stop. <br><br>A question that I have is that, "Besides the North and South Poles, where is climate change affecting people the most?"</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Creature Closeups: </div><div><a href="https://www.calacademy.org/explore-science/pacific-spiny-lumpsucker">https://www.calacademy.org/explore-science/pacific-spiny-lumpsucker</a></div><div> </div><div>I learned about an aquatic creature called the spiny lumpsucker. I learned that most of the lumpsucker's features were actually adaptations before they were just a set a pelvic fins, but now they have fused, giving the fish the ability to attach itself to surrounding seagrass. I've learned through these creatures are rather small in size, averaging about an inch, they have the ability to go as deep as 480 feet down in the ocean and they don't even have an actual swim bladder that helps them travel around. I think many scientists and researchers can benefit from this discovery because since the lumpsucker can take high amounts of water pressure, scientists can study the skeleton/ physical features of the lumpsucker and adapt their research submarines to help them take on more water pressure and study more animals. One question I still have in my head about this information is how long did it take for the spiny lumpsucker to get their adaptation and what problems did they face without them?</div><div> </div>]]></description>

It is the oldest known fossil of a human ancestor. I think it would benefit scientists because they can look at Selam's genes and body structure compared to ours. I want to know what other fossils of human ancestors have been found and how much they look/looked like us.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I learned that climate change is mostly caused by careless humans who dont realize that by doing certain things they are hurting the environment. anyone can benefit from this information because it would help them realize that they could be damaging the environment and would encourage them to stop. a question I have is that will humans of the future make an effort to stop climate change by devoloping technology or something else.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[My website was about beluga whales.Here is my link  https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/stephenresearch/beluga-bits/about/research

It was on the website zooniverse.




Something new I learned was that they are very social animals and they have been seen in huge groups of hundreds of beluga whales.I also learned that they are one of the most vocal whales that we know of.Something cool that I learned is that when they get pregnant the baby stays in the womb for over 14 months.Thats over a year!I learned that some of them can mimic human speech!I think that scientists would benefit off this knowledge because they would not have to figure out what is already a fact and they can learn new things about the beluga whale.I wonder if they can have twins or more than one baby at a time.]]></description>
