Cold Front:The cold front runs into the warm air and causes it to go over the cold front.... causing thunderstorms!
Warm Front:the warm front comes, and runs into the cold front.... causing cloudy skies and rain!
Stationary Front:The warm front and cold front collide, forcing each other in opposite directions.... causing major thunderstorms!
Occluded Front:The cold front on the left and the right collide causing the warm air in the middle rise above the cold fronts causing thunderstorms!
Which type of front occurred this week to bring the cold weather and then snow?: The type of front that came causing cold weather and snow was a cold front!

London Type Smog
Too start out with, Smog comes from the words smoke and fog. Which come together as smog. On December 4th, 1952, due to and caused by air pollution of coal, emission of Sulphur dioxide, and dust. The London Type smog occurs when a water droplet in the air condenses on smoke particles produced by the burning of coal. Forming tiny smog droplets. Sometimes called sulfur smog.
There were many deaths due to this smog. Yet,there was many more diseases, such as: Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Tuberculosis, Heart Failure, Asthma, Respiratory Distress, Cardiac Distress, and Asphyxiation. There weren't many solutions to prevent these diseases from happening except for wearing gas masks.

Earth's Atmosphere
Our solar system is very unique and different in many ways. Our atmosphere contains Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon. These components affect other things in the atmosphere, like the water vapor. Our climate is affected by the water vapor CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2. But though the greenhouse effect is sometimes thought as a bad thing. Yet, trace amounts of gases warm our atmosphere enough to sustain life.
But our atmosphere doesn't only contain gases, it also contains particles of dust, rain, snow, and volcanic ash. Geologists say, back then, there was no free oxygen. Then when Photosynthesizing bacteria evolved, the oxygen steadily rose from 0%, 2 billion years ago to 21% today.
The pressure of the atmosphere varies different heights, like at sea level it would be 960 to 1050 millibars and on top of Mt. Everest. it would most likely be about 300 millibars.

Summaries
The Science Of Rockets
Nasa used Atlas Rockets to launch probes into space. The rockets are 58 meters high, They have 3 stages. The Atlas which uses bith solid-fuel boosters and liquid-fuel engines. The Centaur that uses liquid-fuel engines to maneuver into proper orbit. And The Payload which is satellite or spacecraft carried by a rocket.
The Space Program
Nasa had many projects to land on the moon. But one, Apollo 13 was the most extreme. Apollo 13 was lauched on April 11, 1970. It was at first, the smoothest flight but everything changed. 2 days into the flight, an oxygen tank blew up, which was a huge disaster in this case. Also, the command module(CM) supply of eectricity, light, and water was lost, The crew finally found a way to remove the carbon dioxide from the rocket using materials from the rocket. And they finally landed in the pacific ocean near Samoa.
Exploring Space Today
Nasa conducted a robot called a "Personal Satellite Assistant". This was a robot that had all sorts of technology that would help Nasa. This robot would float next to an astronaut in space and tell them information such as the temperature, pressure, and air quality.
Using Space Science On Earth
Nasa wanted money invested to the space program and every dollar invested, the U.S economy would recieve a $7 return in the form of job creation,economic growth, and taxes. But many people argued that the money could be used formore useful things, such asmedical care.

Wimalling(Winter,summer,fall,and spring)
Seasons are all different. For instance, theres winter which is cold. Fall which is breezy and chilly. Spring is when the flowers bloom which is rainy and summer is SUPER hot. But why is this? We have these beautiful seasons because the earths axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun. Without these seasons, what do you think the world would be like?

Perspective Paragraph
The book Zoom by Istvan Banyai is a perspective test for your mind and eyes. This book was a book that was focused on one tiny zoomed picture then when zoomed out it becomes different things such as, magazines or brochures. "Seeing depends on knowledge and knowledge, of course on your college. But when you are erudite and wise, what matters is, to use your eyes." by Ernst Bombrich. This quote states that knowledge is very important in many ways. Perspective is the science of painting and drawing so that objects represented have apparent depth and distance.
Have you ever thought you were looking at something right but it was really wrong? Well, many people do it all the time without even knowing it. An example of this would be like if your looking at a hill from far away and then the closer you got it turned into a mountain. Sometimes when i see something wrong i try to blur my vision and fix it. Like the example of the hill and the mountain, i blurred the picture in my mind and fixed it.
Many people might be interested in this data because many people use perspective everyday. Perspective is used in many wasy because when you expect something it might not be what you expected. Especially, in Astronomy! Astronomy uses perspective to point out many different groups of stars. Like the way someone pointed out the leo or the dippers. They used their perspective to group things together to make one picture!

How to add music
The Quick Answer
Choose whether to embed audio/music from a third-party site or to host your own (podcast).
To podcast, choose a host to store your audio files, then enable 'Link Fields' in your Settings Formatting tab.
Use the link field to enclose audio files in your posts.
If you'd like to put music or audio on your blog, there are many options available to you. First you'll have to decide whether you want to host your own audio files or merely embed them from an existing third-party site.
Embedding music/audio from third-party sites
If you'd like to embed a playlist or functionality from a third-party music service such as Last.fm or Imeem, Blogger's layouts feature makes it easy.
Visit your Template Page Elements tab.
Create a new widget by clicking "Add a Page Element."
Choose the "HTML/Javascript" widget.
Enter the HTML code provided by your third-party music service into the content window and click "Save Changes."
If you can't find the necessary code, you may have to contact your third-party music service. Feel free to position the page element wherever you'd like.
There are plenty of services to share and embed music available on the web. Here's a list of a few to get you started. Please keep in mind that these services aren't affiliated with Blogger, but we've heard good things about them.
Last.fm
Seeqpod
Imeem
IODA Promonet
Hypster
Streampad
Splashcast
Project Playlist
FineTune
MyFlashFetish
Podcasting
If you'd like a way to distribute ongoing recordings of your own, you may be interested in using your existing Blogger feed to create a podcast. Podcasts can be used for a variety of purposes, such as syndicating your own weekly internet talk show or mixtapes. They work by using your blog's existing feed to link to audio files you have hosted on the web. RSS Readers (such as Google Reader or Bloglines) then interpret your links as embedded audio files and provide an interface to play them. Note that your audio files will still be available directly on the blog, too. To get started, you'll need a place online to store your recordings. Blogger doesn't offer hosting services for audio files at this time; however, there are plenty of providers of online storage space that offer both paid and free hosting services, such as Box.net, MoveDigital, DreamHost, and BlueHost. Once you've uploaded your files to your web host of choice, you'll need to enable enclosure links to link to the file from within a Blogger post. To do so, just go to your Settings Formatting tab and set the "Show Link fields" option to "Yes." This will add the enclosure link fields to your post editor. When composing a post, you'll then see a field for your enclosures. From there, just enter the URLs of your audio files, and your blog will instantly become a podcast. When viewed with most RSS readers or podcatchers (such as Google Reader, iTunes, or Bloglines), your recordings will appear as embedded music players. It's that easy!
If you'd like to further customize your podcast, you may be interested in checking out FeedBurner. By processing and optimizing your existing Blogger feed, FeedBurner not only offers extensive podcasting options but also the ability to customize, optimize, and monetize your feed and to track the number of listeners subscribed to your podcast.

The Enigma Box!
The Enigma Box is a box that you fill with water, but there is a way that it comes out that is untold. First, the Enigma box consists of water pressure and air. Have you ever put your finger over the top of a straw and bring it out to drink? Have you noticed that the air isn't getting into the straw so the drink doesn't come out? Well, when you let go it flows out very quickly. That is exactly how the Enigma Box works.
The Enigma Box is rectangular shaped with 2 holes with that are different sizes and it holds the water. As the Enigma box receives more water it begins to leak. So the more water that is put into the Enigma box, the faster the water flows.
Also, the Enigma Box is a box that holds a liquid and you fill it up with the liquid and you start off with a small amount, then you fill with a larger amount and at about 450ml. is when it starts flowing really fast. All the water filling the Enigma Box finally reaches a point then it flows out.
To end with, the Enigma Box is a box that you use all 5 senses, and the 5 skills to observe. Inferring, Predicting, Classifying, Observing, and Making Models are the 5 skills that scientists and normal people use everyday to observe or examine something. The Enigma Box has a tube that loops around inside and when the water fills to a certain level then the water flows over the loop and out of the box.
