Week 4 - How do Stars Form?

 Hello! Today's week's winning subject on science is: How do Stars Form? This was second place last seek, so this is impressive how much you really wanted to answer this question!

The process of star creation begins with clouds of dust called molecular dust in space. These clouds are heavy, and eventually gravity attracts them and clumps them into one central location. This central location becomes the core of the star. This begins a small star, and it begins to fuse hydrogen, and then the heat (heat is the denseness of atoms) lets the star's outer layers expand, growing the star.

Some stars stay quite small (Brown Dwarfs) and some expand larger and larger, but actually the bigger the star, the lower its lifespan. At the end of a star life cycle, it collapses and turns intp either these things: a white dwarf, neutron star, and a black hole. 

Usually star deaths also creates the molecular clouds that begin more stars. 

That's basically how! This is the link for 28 July:

We received feedback to add an image, but for some reason I can't add the image.

Quiz (answer excluded): What is another name for the molecular clouds?

ScienceForDummies: Electricity

 Hello! Today's episode is about electricity. Electricity relies on the idea of electrons. Electrons is a subatomic particle - a particle which makes up of an ato . It has a negative charge and there are sixteen of them in a single atom. So how do they relate to electricity? Electricity is a physical phenomena where something moves that has an "electric charge". This idea of electricity is related to magnetism, because it is related to movement. Simply, it is a type og energy that consists of the movement of electrons. Electricity generates an electric current, and things can conduct electricity to make it move faster and insulate it to make it slower.

ScienceForDummies: Heat and Light

 Hello!  Heat - Heat is an energy that is transferred from one body to another because of a difference in temperature. Heat flows from hot bodies to cold bodies ("bodies" meaning objects or matter). Hear energy is created when aroms move faster and collidep. It is also known as thermal energy, and heat is the transfer of said energy. Light - Light is a kind of radiation that can be perceived by the human eye. It has wavelengths which can differ, forming what we know as colors. It can travel, refract, reflect, diffract, interfere, and disperse, etc. These things is possible by light.

ScienceForDummies: Matter and Energy

 Hello! Today is about matter and energy, and the second week of the Physics series. What is Matter? Matter is a physical substance which occupies space and has mass, distinct from energy. Matter is physical, so it does not have a rational nor conscious nature, at least itself. The popular understanding is that there are three states of matter, which is true, though there are other things considered as states of matters, the most popular of which being plasma. Basically, matter is a physical object. But it says "distinct from energy". What is energy, then? What is Energy? Simply, energy is a capacity to do something, especially moving something else. Energy falls into two central categories: kinetic energy and potential energy. What is the difference between the two types? Kinetic energy is in movement, while potential energy is not used, but usable to work.
