children displaced from the states hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina School guidance

counselors said that relocating to an unfamiliar school is bound to affect many of the children

Tenisha and Terren though were doing well They had enrolled at MacGregor Music and

Science Magnet School MacGregor accepted more than a dozen displaced students

After just two days at school Tenisha and Terren were making new friends [Our new] school

is great Tenisha told Senior Edition

Many of Tenishas and Terrens classmates embraced the new arrivals We want to make our

new classmates feel good because we know theyve gone through so much James

McKethen a fourth grader at MacGregor told Senior Edition

Its cool to have new friends added Tiye McKethen Jamess sister a third grader And they

get to have fun in a new school and stay in a safe place

Einsteins work helped in the making of many things

Heres how his ideas led to lasers

Before Einstein

Scientists pondered the nature of matter and energy and

how they interacted They knew that energy comes out of

matter as light but how was a mystery Illustrations courtesy of Daryll Collins

During Einsteins

Life

By imagining electrons being forced into unstable orbits

in an atom Einstein figured out how energy could be

Illustrations courtesy of Daryll Collins released by atoms By making this discovery he helped

pave the way for the invention of lasers

After Einstein

Scientists can now make the electrons in atoms all emit

the same kind of energy in the same direction in a narrow

beam

What Lasers Mean to You

Did you know the word LASER stands for Light

Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Lasers are used in all sorts of things today including supermarket checkout scanners

medical equipment and CD players A tiny laser is used to read the bumps and grooves on a

CD and translate the pattern into sound

Train of Thought Light Speed This text is provided courtesy of Ology the American Museum of Natural Historys website for kids

Light is fast Its the only thing that can reach the universal speed limit - 186000 miles

per second (If you could travel as fast as light the universe would look very different)

Because it moves so quickly light can seem to appear instantaneously Think about when you

turn on a TV images pop up right away

The image of the universe copy American Museum of Natural History and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications 1999

You have to be a really big thinker to imagine the size of the Universe Its so big that light from the most distant galaxies takes over 10 billion years just to reach us on Earth Thats twice as long as Earths been around Everything weve ever

observed in space is part of our Universe We dont know whats beyond it or if there are other Universes out there

How does the speed of light affect our lives and what we know about the universe To shed

some light on the subject power up this thought experiment

Question What if light could only travel 1 footsecond

Example Imagine you are watching a live concert broadcast on TV

ReaclWorks Train of Thought Light Speed

Logic When light travels at its normal speed of 186000 milessecond you see the broadcast

immediately You could be 1 mile or 3000 miles away from the concert - it doesnt matter

Why Light can travel distances very rapidly If you changed how fast light could travel then

you would change the amount of time it would take for it to reach your eyes

Eric Hamilton

We see light every day -- whether from light bulbs flames flashlights or the Sun (our most important source of light) We see objects because they reflect or bounce light into our eyes Light is a form of energy called electromagnetic radiation Its

made of tiny particles called photons that travel in straight lines In a vacuum nothing can travel faster

would receive the broadcast with a delay of over an hour Somebody 3000 miles away would

receive the broadcast about 6 months later Not exactly live TV

Conclusion The farther away you are from a source of light the longer it takes the light to

reach you

Did you know Distances on Earth are relatively short which is why live TV can be seen

anywhere on Earth at almost exactly the same time But distances in the universe are SO

great that by the time light from an object in space like a star reaches our eyes what we are

seeing is a snapshot of how it looked hundreds or even millions of years ago

Eric Hamilton

A thought experiment is an experiment that can be described but is not actually performed Instead it is carried out by the mind using reasoning and logic Thought experiments have been used by great thinkers since ancient times and they are still used today to explain concepts such as quantum physics and relativity These virtual experiments help us explore the

world

Have you ever wondered how satellites in the sky stay in orbit Before there were

satellites Newton asked himself the same thing about objects such as the moon

Why do things stay in orbit

Get your brain on the ball and explore Newtons question with the thought experiment below

Question Can you throw a ball so hard that it never falls to Earth

Example Imagine you are on a mountain and throw a ball in front of you

Illustration Credit Eric Hamilton

Logic Think about what happens if you throw a ball softly It goes a bit and then falls to the

ground If you throw the ball harder it will go farther before it hits the ground right

The Earth is our home So far its the only place that we know Gravity is the force of attraction between all objects in of that has life Everywhere you look on Earth there is life This the Universe Objects with more mass have greater

is possible because Earth has lots of water Its also just the gravitational pull than objects with less mass Gravity right distance from the Sun Some people call Earth the keeps Earth and the planets orbiting around the Sun

Goldilocks planet Its not too hot (like Venus) and not too instead of floating off into space What would the cold (like Mars) its just right Universe be like without gravity

Prediction If you throw the ball hard enough it will

never hit the ground and continue to follow a stable path

around the earth This path is called an orbit (If

something is going a certain speed around Earth it will

stay in orbit around the Earth)

Conclusion By combining his theory of gravity with

his theory of motion Newton came up with a formula that

showed how fast an object has to go to stay in orbit He

was right Today scientists use his formula to put

satellites in orbit

Who said science couldnt be a ball

Equation Invasion

This article is provided courtesy of the American Museum of Natural History 2

The worlds most famous equation is probably Einsteins E=mc Einstein made an

astounding discovery about the relationship between energy and mass and put it into this

formula What does it mean

E =mc 2

E = Energy

middot Energy makes things happen such as making objects move or get hotter

middot Energy often changes from one form to another It comes in many forms such as heat

and light

Equal sign= THE BIG THING

middot The equal sign lets us compare and connect two things that are equivalent For

exam~le 1 dollar = 100 pennies

middot E=mo2 compares and connects mass and energy

middot E=mc explains how much energy is in any amount of matter- the more mass

somethihg has the more energy it has

middot Since c is such a huge number a little bit of mass contains a huge amount of energy

m = MASS

middot Mass is the amount of stuff an object has

middot Mass isnt connected to size

middot Same-sized things can have different masses For example a box of tissues is the same

size as a brick But they have different masses - and different results if you drop one on

your foot 2

c = SPEED OF LIGHT SQUARED

Equation Invasion ReadWorks middot c = the speed of light= 670 million miles per hour= 670000000 mph

middot In this equation c is squared which is 670 million mph x 670 million mph Thats a big

projector A pinhole projector is simple to make Go to an Internet search engine on a computer at home school or the library and enter solar eclipse pinhole projector for step-by-step directions

Solar Eclipse Safety

Read the passage Then write an effect for each cause

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves in front

of the sun Since the moon blocks most of the sunlight people on Earth see only a small ring of light around the

moon A solar eclipse is an astonishing event However no one should ever look at an eclipse directly through

binoculars or through a telescope Why The lens of your eye will focus the suns light to a small spot on a membrane at the back of your eye called the retina which can cause permanent eye damage-even blindness Instead look at the eclipse through a pinhole

projector A pinhole projector is simple to make Go to an Internet search engine on a computer at home school or the library and enter solar eclipse pinhole projector for step-by-step directions

Cause Effect

1 The moon moves in front of the sun

2 The moon blocks most of the sunlight

3 A solar eclipse is an astonishing event

4 A solar eclipse can cause permanent eye damage or blindness

5 People make and use pinhole projectors
