In order to make the understanding of data universal the International System was developed. This system standardized measurements for nearly everything that scientists are interested in measuring. Here are a couple of examples: meters, joules, seconds and watts.
These are the measurement units that you will need to use in your energy science fair projects

Kepler’s third law is all about the timing of the planets’ orbits. It states, “the ratio between the square of the time needed by a planet to make a revolution around the sun and the cube of its average distance from the sun is the same for all planets.” This law can be expressed in the following formula:
(Period of planet)^2/(Average orbit radius)^3 = Same result for all planets.

Kepler introduced multiple theories that related to the movement of the planets. His second law was that “a planet moves so that its radius vector sweeps out equal areas in equal times.”

Students working on astronomy science fair projects can benefit from learning the basic theories behind the science of astronomy like Kepler’s first law. This law state is based on the assumption that planetary orbits are ellipses and that the sun provides one of the elliptical foci.

Hello my friends,
I know that you will enjoy this story as much as I did. It is always uplifting and rewarding to hear about others who are like minded, and caring individuals, whether it be for humanity or “all creatures great and small”.
It is ironic that some will ask, “Was this verified by snopes?” The answer is yes, however the irony, for me, is in the asking. This story, whether true or a fable reminds us all of what humanity MUST be! Have a joyous and prosperous day and enjoy the following:
A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider
web of crab traps and lines.
She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that
caused her to struggle to stay afloat.
She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around
her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.
A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands
(outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed for help.
Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined
that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive
in and untangle her — a very dangerous proposition. One slap
of the tail could kill a rescuer.
They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like
joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at
a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them.
Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.
The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and “I will never be the same”.
~~~~~
May you be so fortunate… To be surrounded by people who will help
you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may
you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you in the same spirit.
Madeline
