The tale of Sirius



































One day the government received a report from space that Sirius is going to crash into the Earth. So they decided to shoot a missile at it so that it would not crash into the Earth and kill everyone known to mankind. Meanwhile inside of a boy named James house who was a kid who had no friends saw this on the news. The boy knew it was only the stars moving like they normally do, when he realized this he tried to call the government to not launch a missile and destroy Sirius. Why would they listen to a child though and especially one nobody liked . They obviously did not listen to him.


So James ran to the store to buy a shield to guard the shield with he didn’t have that much money so he just bought a toy one he found at the store. (But in his head he knew that the shield would never be able to block such a force as a missile). So he decided it was going to have to be a sacrifice. He ran back to his house to tell his mom and dad they would never see him again and that he loved them. His mom’s response was


“Are you an Idiot”
“How are you supposed to get to space” his dad said
“ I will fly”
“How is that possible” said his mom
“I will do an MJ” he said
The last thing James saw was his mom smacking him in the face with a rolling pin. When James woke up he saw a sign that said YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE MENTAL FACILITY OF PEWAUKEE.


W-w-what are we doing here” said James
“You can’t be trusted to stay with us anymore” said his Mom
“Saying you are going to jump into space and kill yourself”
At this James was furious and broke off the car door. Then he MJ’ed into space and started flying toward the missile approximately 500 miles away from Sirius. James thrusted his arm and threw the shield at the missile as James thought the shield wasn’t enough. He was forced to sacrifice himself to save Sirius and that is what he did as the missile was about to hit James flew in front of it and blew up .




Strangely the missile didn’t even hurt him it was a fake he knew this because on the side of the missile which was a note with his mom handwriting that said JUST KIDDING. James did not think this was funny and stared to cry because everyone tricked him. He tried to fly back home but he ran out of air and died. Meanwhile at James house his Mom knew he was dead and her and James Dad started to laugh and said finally that Idiot kid is gone. ‘


The next day………….
James parents started to feel bad for him and to honor him they sent six stars into space in form of a shield around Sirius to show how determined he was to try and save it.

Comets, Asteroids, and Meteors - Taylor, Cody, Cody



As a group we enjoyed doing this project because in the process of finding all the information we learned a lot that we didn't know and it was enjoyable. ALthough it was fun it was challegeing to find accurate information, but it was rewarding to finally finish and have a quaility video as a result.

Stars & Galaxies -Sarah, Amanda, Rajiv



We had to research questions 8-11 about the stars and galaxies in our solar system. One of the most challenging parts of it was taking the information that we found and putting it in our own words. Our entire group agreed that there were so many different types of galaxies.

We spent a while looking up three items each and to take notes on it. The information we found most interesting was the how heavy the space shuttle weighed. The research was somewhat confusing because different cites showed different answers.

Kyle K. Matt O. Andrew R ---Constellations---




Our group of Matt Andrew and Kyle found that the most interesting part would have to be the information about how constellitions werent discovered but invented. Many people would think that constellitions would have been discovered but after researching them more indepth we found out that they werent just stars and random pictures people though of today but much different.

Leah T., Emily S., Alex W. - History of the Space Program



Our group, Emily, Alex, and I, actually enjoyed working on this project. We gathered research and made an animoto with that information. One thing that our group enjoyed the most was actually finding the pictures for the project to go with the text that we have. Many interesting things were learned, including events that happened over time in the space program and some advances in the program, including the Hubble telescope and fireproof space suits. The research was pretty easy since we got most of it from the book and the rest of it from the timeline. It was a pretty fun project.

John, Parker, and Summer - Moons of our Solar System



I really enjoyed this project. The most fascinating thing that all of my group members were learning about had to be Jupiter's Moon, Callisto. It was cool to know about the facts of the moon. My group members and I thought that the research was easy. We found a good website for earth's moon and for the other moons that we researched. This was a cool project that we got to do and I think we should do it again.

David H, Teah A, Joe H - Astronauts and Astronomers




The most interesting piece of information that we found was that Buzz Aldrin is also a rapper along with an astraunaut. James Lovell was a part of Apollo 13 and came back becuase the oxygen tank eruptured and they were de-hydrated.
Our research process was that we found out some people on some missions that we knew, then we researched the other people in that same mission. Also we researched people that we already knew about but then found out more that we never knew about.\
