  1. EarthKAM By: Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Cailly, Gracie

  2. The Dead Zone • Between Florida and Mexico • Each year, oxygen-requiring aquatic organisms die • This is the Dead Zone • Because of pesticides

  3. Grand Canyon • steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the Arizona • mostly located in the Grand Canyon National Park • One of the first national parks in U.S.A • President Theodore Roosevelt- major contributor to preservation of Grand Canyon

  7. Keplers 1st Law The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun with earth orbiting the sun

  8. Keplers law 2nd law • 2nd law-The line joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal area in equal times. -This means that the closer the planet is to the Sun, the faster it will travel.

  9. Keplers law 3rd law • 3rd law-The square of the orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of the average distance between the Sun and the planet: - This means that the further the planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around

  10. Space Food This is a picture of what astronauts eat in space. FACTS • Food with no gravity • Non perishable • Have to have the right equipment to cook • Calorie amounts may very
