HSC PHYSICS ASSESMENT TASK 1 SPACE EXPLORATION Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882-1945) When and where did they do their main work? Over the course of his lifetime Robert H. Goddard has contributed a great deal of knowledge, understanding, theory and practice to the development and evolution of modern day rocketry, earning him the title of “the father of modern rocketry”. Goddard was an American scientist who did most of his experiments between 1912 and 1945, until his death, in areas such as Massachusetts, where he was born, and also in Roswell, New Mexico, where he carried out a lot of his rocket launches, with several of his colleagues, like Clarence N Hickman. Goddard graduated from south high school in Worcester in 1904 and achieved his degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1908. He then began his graduate studies at Clark University, which is also where Goddard did some of his early, but significant work, testing theories through experiments and developing ideas about rockets, e.g., Goddard's pendulum experiment, which he used to measure the trust of a rocket.
Basically their whole life depended on the stars. The Mayans used the stars to tell them when to go to war, harvest crops and other events of life. Astronomy is still in its use today especially because of the invention of the telescope by Galileo. Star spectrum is light coming from a star that is broken down into a rainbow. Spectra can tell us what makes up a star just by analyzing it.
His observations of planetary motion, mostly that of Mars, gave important data for astronomers to come, like Kepler. This helped us construct our model of the solar system we use today. The calculation that if the Earth moves then the stars are at least 700
Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment By Courtney Wright Science fiction texts use events and issues in society today, to explore and imagine what may happen in the future. In the novel Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, published in 2005, the author, James Patterson, explores possible technological and scientific advances of the future. Even though the novel is set around the present time, maybe a few years into the future, it explores the same kinds of ideas as many other science fiction texts. Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, follows six children, aged between fourteen and six, who’s genes were modified while they were embryos. The children have the ability to fly, with 2% of their DNA being avian.
Lastly, the project manager’s performance is critiqued and comments made on how he could improve as a project manager. Introduction Introduction This paper will examine the challenges that Gary Allison faced as the project manager in the Orion Shield Project. There were many issues such as contractual, ethical, communication, technical, legal, structural, and training that played a role in the struggles of the project. The project was to improve NASA’s launch rocket booster’s structure. The paper discusses the situations Gary faced as project manager for phase one of the Orion Shield project.

The Scientific Method Axia College SCI/230 Have you ever asked your-self a question that sparked your imagination to try to find the answer for yourself? Did you find that answer by trying different options to achieve the answer? If you have then you have used the Scientific Method. The Scientific Method is a system made up of six steps that scientists have use for centuries to solve some of life’s biggest mysteries as well as everyday ponders. This writer is going to show you an example of the everyday questions that we may use the Scientific Method for as well as an experiment so that you may use it knowingly also.

Scholars are bristling at attempts to link the ancient Maya with trends in contemporary spirituality. Maya civilization, known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy, flourished for centuries in Mesoamerica, especially between A.D. 300 and 900. Its Long Count calendar, which was discontinued under Spanish colonization, tracks more than 5,000 years, then resets at year zero. The calendar stops on the date December 21, 2012. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years.
