Mars 2020 Mission

 Mars 2020 Mission:

Have you ever wondered what Mars is like? Or even wondered in the future if you would like to investigate Mars? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

NASA’s new mission, the  2020 mission Perseverance Rover was launched in late July 2020 and is currently still in space heading to Mars and will be expected to land in early February 2021, Jezero Crater.

The rover, “Perseverance” mission is to find/look for clues of ancient life in Mars, maybe these clues might help scientist to understand the history of Mars. maybe back in the past Mars was once a  livable planet that had somehow changed.

Another thing that NASA had sent to Mars along with the Perseverance robot was a helicopter, called Ingenuity. Although Ingenuity is just an experiment to see if it can fly through Mars thin atmosphere. It would be fascinating to see Mars landscape.

Mars is a very interesting planet for scientists to research. Maybe next year we might discover a lot of new interesting things on Mars.

Drama Freeze Frames

 Drama Freeze Frames

Last week on drama we were working on freeze-frames and learnt 4 important keys that must be included when doing the freeze frame, the 4 things that must be included are, Levels, Expressions, Spacial Relationship and Gestures.

4 Important Keys:

Levels, The levels are like the height difference, for example, one person is laying on the floor while the other is standing still and the rest might be sitting down.

Expressions, The Expression are really important when doing freeze-frames, you're basically showing the emotions that match/mix with the gestures/actions that you are making.

Spacial Relationship, The spacial relationships are basically the distance between the people, it also sometimes show what's happening in the frame, for example, two people are sitting together while the other might be in a large distance between the three which is called spacial relationship.

Gestures, The gestures are the actions that match with the expressions you are making and also basically shows the storyline.

This freeze-frame that we created was a bullying scene where three of us were purposely talking behind her back(loudly)  while the other was being left out and could hear us.

Spheros on Mars

 Spheros on Mars

1. What rocket did the perseverance use to get into space? The rocket perseverance used to fly to space was called Atlas V.

2. Describe the two vehicles that are being taken to Mars. The two vehicles( a rover and a helicopter) that are being taken to Mars are more finely detailed than before all the rovers that were sent in the past and will also have new adjustments(tools). One of the tools are called PIXL, will use x-ray spectrometry will try do detect chemical elements.

3. Where does the mission plan to land on Mars? What are they looking for? NASA plans to land on Jezero Crater. They’re looking for alien life and ancient past.

4. How will the vehicle land without being damaged?
