1. http://www.mnsu.edu/
2. Emuseum is the source.
3. Credentials are none.
4. The source says that the Qing Dynasty was the second time when all of China was ruled by foreigners, the Manchu. The first was during the Yuan Dynasty when China was completely controled by the Mongols. In terms of government, the Qing Dynasty adopted the form of government used by the Ming, with only minor adjustments. For example the positions were all dual positions, one Manchu and one Chinese were in the same position, with the Manchu having more power. The form of military organization that the Qing used was one of the best in the world. They organized their troops under banners, each of which was a separate unit. The number of banners grew from 8 in the beginning to 24. These fighting men were personally attached to the emperor, in fact he owned them. They were incredibly loyal to the emperor. The bannermen also functioned as a talent pool from which civil bureaucrats could be chosen.
5. Yes I believe the source because it has artifacts from the Qing Dynasty in its museum so it shows that the facts that it talks about is true.

4. The source talks about and explains the history of the Manchu people and how they founded the Manchu Dynasty. During their rise in the seventeenth century with the help of Ming rebels, like Wu Sangui, the Manchu clan conquered the Ming Dynasty and founded the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China until the Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which established a republican government in its place. The Manchu ethnicity have largely been assimilated with the Han Chinese. The number of Chinese today with some Manchu ancestry is quite large, and the adoption of favorable policies towards ethnic minorities(such as preferential university admission and government employment opportunities) has encouraged some people with mixed-Han and Manchu ancestry to re-identify themselves as Manchu.

4. The source says that the Qing Dynasty, also called the Manchu Dynasty, was the last ruling dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. The dynasty was founded by the Manchu clan called Aisin Gioro in what is now northeast China (Manchuria). It was originally established as the Later Jin Dysnasty in 1616 but it later changed its name to "Qing" meaning "clear" or "pellucid" in 1636 and captured Beijing in 1644. During its reign, the Qing Dynasty became highly integrated with Chinese culture. However, its military power weakened during the 1800s, and faced with international pressure, massive rebellions and defeats in wars, the Qing Dynasty declined after the mid-19th century. The Qing Dynasty was overthrown following the Xinhai Revolution, when the Empress Dowager Longyu abdicated on behalf of the last emperor, Puyi, on February 12, 1912.

4. These limitations exist because it would cause riots and a whole bunch of problems if they didn't exist.


5. If I had to give up this right, in return I would want a compromise for what i was assembleling for, like social security or a fairer society.

Inconvenient Truth- fact 5

Fact: When the rays of the sun hit the Earth and it hits an ice cap, more than 90% of it was reflected but as the water is melting, more than 90% of the heat of the rays is absorbed by the water, making the planet warmer.

Inconvenient Truth- fact 4

Fact: Lake Chad, one of the largest lakes in the world, has now dried up to almost nothing due to global warming.

Inconvenient Truth- fact 3

Fact: When the southern hemisphere of the Earth is facing the sun during fall and winter, the CO2 level is higher than during the spring and summer when the northern hemisphere is facing the sun.

• The source is the Earth System Research Laboratory.
• The credentials of the source are the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA Research (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association).

• The source says that on the graph, it shows that the level of carbon dioxide has increased by more than 2 million parts per year.
• I believe the source kind of because it does give proof about what it is talking about.

• The source is "CO2 Now."
• The source's credentials are University of Victoria and International Polar Year (IPY) Joint Committee.
• The source is credible because it shows its credentials and who writes the articles and facts.
• The source says that global warming is mainly the result of CO2 levels rising in the Earth's atmosphere. Both atmospheric CO2 and climate change are accelerating.
• I don't know if I believe the source because it shows a graph as well from the Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii but it looks different than the one from the previous source.

SOURCE 9: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/24/science/earth/24brfs-GASESINATMOS_BRF.html

• The source is The New York Times.
• The source's credentials is NOAA.
• The source is credible because it gives credentials and the author's name who wrote the article.
• The source says that carbon dioxide is continuonly rising at an accelerating pace. After a decade of stability, even other heat-trapping gases, like methane, rose as well. NOAA says that the main reason why the carbon dioxide level reached up to 385 parts per million last year was because of the burning of fossil fuel.
• I believe the source because this is also what NOAA said in the first source that I looked up for this fact so it must be true.

Inconvenient Truth- fact 2

Fact: Greenhouse gases keep in the sun's radiation waves in the Earth, warming the planet.



SOURCE 4: http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/brochures/greenhouse/Chapter1.htm

• The source is EIA (Energy Information Administration).
• The source's credentials are the US Government.
• This is a credible source because it gives the original source where it go the main information from and it is updated every year.
• The source says that the greenhouse gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When the sunlight hit the Earth's surface, it is re-radiated back towards space as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere.
• Yes, I believe the source because it is a credible source and it supports its explanations of the greenhouse gases.

SOURCE 5: http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/society/greenhouse.htm

• The source is the Greenhouse Gases And Society by Nick Hopwood and Jordan Cohen.
• The credentials are the World Book Encyclopedia, US Government of State, and the Global Environment.
• The source is sort of credible because it gives primary sources where it got some information from but it doesn't give the profession or where the author went to university.
• The source says that the shorter wavelength radiations from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere, then it is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to warm. Part of the absorbed energy is re-radiated back to the atmosphere as long wave infrared radiation. The greenhouse gases selectively transmit the infrared waves, trapping some and allowing some to pass through into space. The greenhouse gases absorb these waves and reemits the waves downward, causing the lower atmosphere to warm.
• I believe the source because it explains the process well.

SOURCE 6: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/index.html

• The source is the US EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
• Its credentials is the U.S. government.
• This source is credible because it is updated frequently by the US EPA.
• The source says the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are often called greenhouse gases. Some gases like carbon dioxide happen naturally and are emitted to the atmosphere through natural processes and human activity. Other greenhouse gases like fluorinated gases are created and emitted solely through human activity.
• I believe the source because it makes sense on what it is explaining.

Inconvenient Truth- fact 1

Fact: The radiation waves from the sun are absorbed by Earth and causes it to warm up. Then the radiation is re-radiated out of Earth as infrared waves.


SOURCE 1: http://science.hq.nasa.gov/kids/imagers/ems/infrared.html

• The source is Ruth Netting, official for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• The source's credentials are NASA.
• The source is very credible because scientists wrote it and officials, like Ruth Netting constantly proofread it and update it.
• The source says that the long infrared waves are thermal, so we experience them in the form of heat from a fire or the sun. The short infrared waves are not hot at all, we can't even feel them.
• Yes, I believe the source because it is very credible and it backs up its information with proof that they have researched.

SOURCE 2: http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/radiationbalance.htm

• The source is Robert Stewart.
• The source's credentials are Texas A&M University.
• The source is very credible because it is an online book written by an experienced author.
• The source says that 45% of the heat that warms the atmosphere is radiated to space and 55% of the heat that warms the atmosphere is quickly re-radiated radiated back to the Earth. This warms te Earth and the lower atmosphere.
• I believe the source because it is saying that without greenhouse gases, the planet wouldn't be suitable for life, which is true because we can't live without water vapor, carbon dioxide, methan, ozone, and nitrous oxide.

SOURCE 3: http://www.tech-faq.com/infrared.shtml

• The source is Friedrich Nietzsche.
• This source's credentials are TechFAQ.
• This source isn't very credible because it doesn't say where the writer went to university or how far he got in his profession.
• The source says that infrared waves can either be visible or in the form of microwaves. Visible infrared waves are very short and can be seen as either red or violet. The longer infrared waves, which are closer to microwaves, give off radiation in the form of heat.
• I believe the source because it is saying basically what the other two sources are saying and it makes sense because the sun's infrared waves are thermal and give off radiation in the form off heat which is why people get sunburned, for example, when they lay out too much in the sun.

Reflection Post Questions

1. What did you learn?
   I learned how the scientific revolution changed so many things and how it developed our knowledge of understanding for example, of the human body and how the universe is.


2. What was your research question?
   How has the scientic revolution affected the science world today?


3. What was the answer to your research question?
   The answer to my research question was based mainly on how the scientists of the Scientific Revolution affected the model of the universe throughout time. My answer was that the model of the universe changed in more was than one.


4. Did your final product answer that question? How?
   Yes, my final product answered that question because it compared and contrasted the present model of the universe vs. what people thought it looked like at the time.


5. What did you do well on the project?
   What I did well on the project was the presentation of it and neatness.
   
6. What could you have improved on the project?
   I could have improved on showing how the model has changed over the years.


7. What would you change about what you did on the project?
   On my project, I would add detail to the planets and maybe add some informational facts to go along with the project, like notecards or something.


8. What would you change about the assignment itself?
   What I would change about the assignment itself would be to have maybe a few less index cards and to be allowed to use posters for our project or as part of our project.
   
9. What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why? I think I deserve a B or A on my project because I worked really hard on it and it took a lot of research to make a model of the universe look the way it did.

Daily Post 03/28/09

• My next action entering into the day is to find a stage for where the planets for my model will be standing and to put it all together and be finished with my project!
• Today, I put everything that I had together and finished my project and now it is ready for exhibition night.
• This answers my research question because at first, I didn't really know how the model of the universe change during the Scientific Revolution. Now, I know how many scientists, not just one, contributed in the scientific learning of our present day solar system.

Daily Post 03/27/09

• My next action into the day is to work on my project later on when I get home.
• Today, I made the planets that are going to go on my model.
• My next action is to develop sort of like a "stage" for my model for where the planets will go.

Daily Post 03/23/09

• My next action entering into the day is to wrap up all research for my model of the solar system, and review some of the index cards that I have to refresh my knowledge of the Scientific Revolution.
• Today, I reviewed some of my index cards and I finished all of my research on my topic.
• What I did today helps answer my research question because at first, I didn't really know that much about the Scientific Revolution but now, it is almost Exhibition Night and I know so much more!
• My next action is to know how my project is going to look and get it done in time for Exhibition Night, and to turn in my plan outline for my model with my sources.

Status Report Assignment

1. So far in my project, I have accomplished all the researh, the background information, and getting all the materials for my actual model.
2. What I still have left to do is put my model together and make it neat for Show Night!
3. What has been harder than I thought it would be was finding thirty sources for my project! I thought it was going to be easy finding them all online, but it was definitely harder than I thought.
4. What has been easier than I thought it would be was learning about the Scientifc Revolution because I actually had fun learning about it, and it was very interesting.
5. I don't think I would change anything about my project if I could start over..
6. What I needed to get accomplished before Spring Break is to get all thirty index cards done and atleast ten daily progress posts so I can be right on track and on schedule.

• The motions of the planets are roughly confined to the ecliptic. This implies that the orbits of the planets are roughly co-planar with the orbit of the Earth about the Sun.
• Not as obvious is the fact that all planets orbit the Sun in the same sense as does the Earth. This means that they usually move in the west-to-east direction on the Celestial Sphere (CCW as viewed from the NCP). However, an exception to this motion is the retrograde motion sometimes exhibited by the planets.

Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three mathematical laws that describe the motio of the planets in out solar system. The three laws are:

1. The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at a focus.
2. A line joining the a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of a semi-major axis of its orbit.

Kepler lived in an era where there was no clear distinction between astronomy and astrology.

Daily Post 02/25/09

• My next action entering into the day is to find out how Kepler changed the model of the universe after Copernicus changed Ptolemy's model, and to get 4 more index cards.
• Today, I found four more index cards like I needed to do, and I found out more information about the German mathematician Johannes Kepler, who discovered that the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun not circular, like Copernicus had said, but elliptical (egg-shaped). He also created Kepler's laws of planetary motion which explains scientifically and mathematically how the planets revolve around the sun. Also, today I found how the events went in order by finding the timeline of 1451-1733 as one of my index cards.
• What I did today helps answer my research question because now I know who found out the elliptical orbit of the planets and how they found it out.
• My next action is to find out more about the next great scientist that contributed greatly to the scientific revolution, Isaac Newton, and how he developed the universal law of gravitaion.

• My next action entering into the day is to find out more information, mainly about Copernicus and Kepler and how they got involved in the scientific revolution and how this impacted and affected people around them, and the Catholic Church.
• Today, I did research on other scientists, mainly Copernicus, and how different his model of the universe is compared to that of Ptolemy's.
• This helps answer my research question because now I know how the model of the universe started to grow and change during the scientific revolution.
• My next action is to find out how Kepler changed the model of the universe after Copernicus changed Ptolemy's model.
