Science This Term

                               Science This Term

This term we have been doing a lot of fun science experiments like making
catapults and seeing which ones fire accurately. I have learned what a fair test
is and how to make a lava lamp it has been a fun term of science and creativity.

 How to be a good friend

What is a friend? Is it someone who helps and supports you, maybe someone

that plays with you it may even be a person you play video games with but

have never met. There are lots of ways to be a good friend but there are lots of

ways to be a bad friend to. So what is a bad friend? And how can you tell if

someone is a bad friend? Well, you're in luck because I'm about to answer all

these questions this is a guild to being a good friend.

First off is how to be a good friend on the playground. A good friend on the

playground is someone who plays and talks to you. They should help you if

you get hurt or when you're sad. But if they laugh when you get hurt and ignore

that you're sad that means there a bad friend. 

Another way to be a good friend is in class a good friend is someone that will

help you if you are stuck or confused. But this doesn't mean that they will do all

your work for you so you don't have to. They will just help you understand.

If someone is trying to get you to do there work they are not a true friend.

The last way to be a good friend is not to betray their trust. Say your best friend

tells you a secret, not even his mum knows and you go off and tell the entire

school. That is not how to be a good friend in fact that is the worst thing you

can do. As it breaks the trust your friends and everyone around you had which

isn’t a good thing and if you do this you are a very bad friend.

In conclusion, you shouldn’t be a bad friend instead try to be a good friend one

that helps and supports others in need.

How Black Holes are Formed

                             How Black Holes Are Formed

Black holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating things in space. They are objects of extreme density, with such a strong gravitational attraction that even electromagnetic radiation such as light can’t escape its grasp. They can grow to unthinkable sizes like the one in the middle of the Milky way that is 30 million times the size of our sun. But when and how are theses galactic giants formed? Did they just appear in space one day? That is the question I will answer for you today.

                                    Stellar black holes   

The most common types of black holes are Stellar black holes and Supermassive black holes. Depending on their mass they would’ve formed in different ways. Stellar black holes are formed when a massive star burns out the last of its fuel. It will then collapses in upon itself to create a Stellar black hole. But this only applies to stars that have around three times of the sun's mass.

                                             Did you know

Black holes that are created by the collapse of individual stars are relatively small but incredibly dense. Such an object packs three times or more of the sun's amount of mass in a city-sized range. This leads to a crazy amount of gravitational force pulling surrounding objects towards it. Black holes consume gas and dust around them to grow in size.

                                   Supermassive black holes

Small black holes populate the universe but it’s these galactic giants truly dominate. Supermassive black holes are millions or even billions of times as massive as the sun. These black holes are thought to sit in the center of pretty much every galaxy including the Milky Way. Scientists aren't sure how such large black holes are created. Once they’re formed they gather mass from dust and gas around them which are materials that are plentiful in the center of galaxies allowing them to grow to enormous sizes.          

                                                           Conclusion  

As you can see black holes are fascinating objects that have amazed scientists for years they can grow to immense sizes and have an insane amount gravitational attraction. They are dense and could probably swallow the earth whole.
