GPS stands for this.

What is global positioning system.

100

An environment with high pressure, no breathable air and cold temperatures.

What is the deep ocean?

100

The surroundings in which you live, both living and non-living.

What is environment?

100

SONAR means this.

What is Sound Navigation and Ranging?

100

These are two examples of satellites.

what is the Hubble Telescope, the Moon, or the ISS.

200

These three things are needed to get a satellite signal on our devices.

What is the receiver, a satellite in the sky and a ground station.

200

This region is extremely hot with gases escaping constantly.

What is a volcano.

200

Harsh, being difficult to live in

What is extreme?

200

Satellite means this.

What is an object in space that orbits around Earth or any other planet?

200

This is the thing on the satellite that sends messages to earth.

What is the communication device.

300

this is the definition for a satellite.

What is an object in space that revolves around earth or any other object.

300

This is what signifies a polar region.

What is extremely cold temperatures.

300

travels into unknown areas

What is exploration?

300

GPS stands for this.

What is Global Positioning System?

300

This is my scientific opinion about why technology is so important for space or earth exploration.

What is because technology allows us to learn about places we would not otherwise explore. for example, satellites looking into space or even for safety, such as a GPS which helps us find our way. (or other intelligent answer)

400

This records data and takes photos on the satellite.

What are the science instruments.

400

This makes space an extreme environment.

What is no oxygen, no heat, no gravity.

400

Tools humans have made to help them explore and move.

What is technology?

400

SONAR works like this.

What is using transmitted sound from a ship which bounces back off a solid or air-filled object and reflects back to the ship. This is how depth is monitored.

400

The reason the deep ocean is such a difficult place to explore.

What is, that it is extremely cold, dark and with such intense pressure that a human cannot get down there without technology. Most of the places in the deep ocean are still unexplored by humans.

500

The orientation finder on the satellite does this.

What is identifies its surroundings to ensure it is pointed in the right direction.

500

Definition of an extreme environment.

What is a region on earth/universe which has conditions that make living there very difficult and sometimes impossible.

500

Radar

What is Radio Detection and Ranging

500

3 examples of technology that we studied.

What are RADAR, SONAR, and Satellites (GPS).

500

These are the five things that all satellites have.

What are: the orientation finder, the communication device, the power source, the science instruments and the container.
