Habitability Ted Talk

This afternoon we watched an incredible Ted Talk that blew our minds!

  • William was blown away by there perhaps being 100billion planets that may be habitable!
  • Simone was amazed that Mars has changed and perhaps there used to be life there!
  • Samuel found out that there are 8.7million species on Earth!
  • Isabella discovered that a thicker atmosphere means a hotter planet, and a thinner atmosphere means a colder planet - Earth is 'just right'!
  • Georgia found out that there are 200billion stars in the Milky Way.
  • Maddox found out that there are six chemical elements that can be found on every planet.
  • Greta was blown away by every star has at least one planet.
  • Charlie was amazed that magnetic fields might be needed to keep the atmosphere together.
  • Arya wondered that if in the future Venus might cool down and become habitable.
  • Quinn found out that an atmosphere is needed to have liquid water.
  • Did you know that our system is not the only solar system!!!
