Space
by Tim Clifford
Review by Alyssa
In this story, I learned a lot of intersting facts about space; like the only way you can be labeled an astronaut is if you can fly in outer space beyond an altitude of 50 miles (80.5km). Another thing I learned is that the second closest object to us in the solar system is the moon, which is 240,000 miles (386,200 km) away!
The moon is covered in craters, which are large bowl-shaped holes in the surface of the moon caused by collisions with objects such as meteorites. The moon has to go through stages; full moon, new moon, first-quarter, waxing Gibbous, waning Gibbous, crescent and last-quarter.
Earth is unique in the solar system...because it's the only planet that we know where life is supported. The Earth is the third planet from the sun.
I recommend this book because it gives you a lot of information dealing with outer space. It is appropriate for elementary and middle school students.
Great job Alyssa! I did not know that there was a classification for astronauts! I feel badly for those who only made it 49 miles from Earth! Mrs. Haas
ReplyDeleteNadasia:I like this book because it teaches you what you need to know about outer space. I didn't know the moon was that far.(240,000 miles away)
ReplyDeleteNadsia:I like the facts about earth. Everybody needs water,food,air,and shelter. If we didn't have trees there wouldn't be any homes for everybody. Wood comes from trees,water comes from the ocean.
ReplyDeleteSame as what Nadsia thinks! It is a wonderful book! There were so many things that I did not know about space! Luckily, this booked helped me!

Latricia Yates:Space is a interesting thing to learn about and it fun to learn new things about space.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE learning about space and what is out there beyond our Earth, and this sounds like an extraordinary book, especially for younger readers. I'm also a strong believer in life on other planets - we can't be the only ones!
