By Izzy

Hebe, Riley and I are researching different variants of Space-rocks and the Asteroid-belt. 

We have been gathering information using a google slide. 

Here: 

I am working with Hebe and Riley because me and Riley were the only two left doing the same topic, and then later Hebe joined. We gathered information on this site press this button:  🔴

Q: What would happen if a Meteor crashed into earth atmosphere? 

Q: What happens when a Meteor hits earth?

Q: Where is the Asteroid belt located? 


The three most interesting facts I learnt: 

• 99.99% of space rocks in the Asteroid belt are over 100 million years old.
• June 30th is Asteroid day in the United States. 
• Based off of the place and brightness, there are different types of Asteroids, C-type, The most common type. 75% of Asteroids are C-type, they have a big amount of carbon. 
  
  S-type, 17% the second most common type, made of iron, oxygen, and silicon.
  
  M-type, they are fairly bright and made of other asteroid fragments, iron, and metallic. 8% of Asteroids are M-type. 

How I decided to share it: 

We are making a diorama. Mars and Jupiter with the asteroid belt in between. We also made a video explaining about our model.

The most challenging thing was our entire team being indecisive, and clueless.  

I'm proud of our diorama design because it was very detailed and cool.
