What is light pollution?
The amount of light from a city or area that makes it harder to see the stars in the sky.
How many kids does Mr. Hinds have?
2 (Easton and Gracelyn)
Do all moons cause eclipses on the planets they orbit?
YES!
Describe the freedom of movement for the different phases of matter.
Solid = Packed closely/vibrating
Liquid = Little space between molecules and flowing around each other
Gas = Total freedom to move around fast and independently
What does Earth and Mars have in common?
Land features such as canyons, valleys, dunes, hills, and mountains.
True or False: Zodiac signs are based on constellations.
TRUE
What grades has Mr. Hinds taught before?
1st grade, 5th grade, 6th grade
Describe the positioning of Sun, Earth, Moon during the New Moon phase.

Will a liquid take the shape of its container or will it fill it's container?
Take the shape of its container.
Perseverance is a what on Mars?
A rover
It was their way of passing on lessons/morals/values to the next generation.
Arizona State University
How many moon phases are there in TOTAL?
8 TOTAL = New Moon, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, 3rd Quarter, Waning Crescent
Which phase changes occur in nature?
ALL OF THEM!
Mars looks similar to where on Earth?
Where we live! It looks like a desert, but especially like Sedona, Arizona.
Because all of those stars are so far away from Earth.
If Mr. Hinds could be any super hero who would he be?
BATMAN
If the moon is at a 90 degree angle to Earth, which moon phase would we see from Earth?
Quarter moon (aka Half Moon)
If a solid substance is GAINING energy then what phase of matter will it change into?
GAS
What was YOUR role during the Geology on Mars unit?
Planetary Geologists (Study land features)
In this unit you were trying to help a museum figure out what about an ancient artifact?
The missing/broken piece of the artifact that was never found.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY! If you and Mr. Hinds make eye contact in public and you don't say "hi" what will Mr. Hinds do?
Learning about moon phases and when to photograph a lunar eclipse.
What are we trying to figure out about the lake on the moon Titan?
We're trying to figure out how did the lake disappear.
