Science
Everyday since the early time people have been wondering what is up in the sky. Everyday scientist have been researching trying to find new things about technological advancements and our solar system. Trying to find out what black hole are? Creating new technology to go further into space. From the past we were able to start finding new things out about space. Since then we have grown in technology and we are able to go further out into space.

I can identify key technological advancements that helped in making our knowledge of space expand. My research will show the past, but I will also predict what future advancements may stretch our limits even more.
From previous years scientist had come up with the idea instead of just trying to see stars with the naked eye why not try to make a tool that would expand our knowledge about space. In time telescope was created and that made people able to see farther out to space then before enabling us to see plants, and stars. As time has moved on so has the technology these days. Coming up with new things enabling us to go farther out into space. Today NASA is able to send people up into space using what is called a rocket. Over the years after the rocket was a success NASA is building a space station up in space.
Today scientist have been able to collect and find out new things in general about our solar system it’s self. Along trying to find new things out about black holes and stars. With the new technology we have today, it has been easier for scientists to find out about these things. So in the future I think that with the path we are on now with moving forward in technology I think scientist will come up with new ways to try to find out about spaces and its secrets.

I can research the history of constellations. My research will delve into the stories and the myths associated with each constellation. I will create my own constellation either changing the story of a real constellation or creating one on my own. Proficiency #4

History of constellation
There are 88 constellations total in the sky. Many have something to do with gods, heroes, animals or certain figures in the sky. Greek gods and farmers came up with many myths and stories about how each constellation came to be in the sky. Constellations are figures in the sky which look like figures if you connect the dots. In the sky the constellation star seem close to each other but in space they are very far about they just seem close together on earth. For thousands of years people have used the constellations in the sky to direct themselves in the night and on ships out in the ocean.
Every constellation that has been named there are 14 men constellation and woman constellations. There are many make believe animal constellations and some real living animals that are constellations such as, 9 birds, 2 insects, 19 land animals, 10 water creatures, 2 centaurs, 1 head of hair, 1 serpent, 1 dragon, 1 flying horse, 1 river and 29 non-living objects. Most of the constellations are read in Latin because that was the languages most were speaking when they were found out about constellations.

It had been over four minuets that Simon was yelling at Alvin how he always puts himself first instead of everyone else. Then Simon made a big comment, “how will you keep living with your self when you get older because no one will wants to be friends with someone that doesn’t care about them”. After Simon had left Alvin as he was I tears of felling guilty about how he has been acting all these years, how he is such a big idiot.
