Have You Ever Wondered What That Fire Red Ball In Space Is?

                                                          

In Week 5 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great information reports.

We wrote about the planet Mars as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great information report will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time.

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Introduction

Mars is a red planet. It’s named after the Roman god a war, it is the fourth planet in our solar system. This report will tell you all the knowledge you need to know about Mars.

Appearance

Mars has a very different appearance to Earth. Did you know that Mars has a lot of volcanos? The biggest volcano on Mars is called

(Olympus Mons also know as Mount Olympus.) Mars is very hot due to how close the sun is to it but Mars can also be very freezing.  Fascinating fact Mars’ has a hard iron core. In addition Mars is very dry due that it is very close to the sun, that dryness leads to a very hard crust on the planet Mars. Mars has the biggest canyon in the entire solar system, Valles Marines. Scientist think that there might of been rivers in the past on Mars.                                 

                                                               This is what a dust storm looks on Mars (remember they last for months)         

Could humans live on Mars

Mars is inhospitable planet, which is uninhabitable for humans to try live on Mars. On Mars there are often dust storms and they last about

for months, and for a human to live on Mars it would be pretty difficult.

There is a little bit of oxygen (02) and possibly a little bit of (H20) on

Mars, Mars has a thin atmosphere, which causes a that little bit oxygen (02) . On Mars there is no magnetic field so it allows radiation from the sun which means the, UV RAYS makes you get skin cancer. If you had tried to live on Mars beware what will come ahead of you.

Mars’ Moon This is what Phobos and Deimos look. (Don’t you think they do look strange.)

Mars’ is circled by two tiny non illuminated moons called Phobos and Deimos. The moons are strangely shaped like lumpy potatoes. Furthermore, Phobos and Deimos are smaller than our Moon. Additionally the moons have weak gravity, the weak gravity causes them not to pull force for them to orbit.

Conclusion

Now you have some key and fascinating information about Mars, our closest neighbour. If you want to find out more about Mars, then you might want to visit http://www.planetsforkids.org/planet-mars.html. I hope this information report has encouraged you to perhaps write your own.
