Comment2(Michael)Week4

You did a good job. I would suggest spell check and you didn't really list the kind of science being used.

Week 4 Prompt

The video I watched was called "ARTFusion". The video was about how art can relate to science. Art has a lot to do with color and colors include color pigments . Color pigments are big part of science because they are one of the substances that help make the color of our skin. In the video a teacher by the name of Dennis Wilson said that when your talking about a painting your talking a bout the way that color and light react. He also said that it has a lot to do with physics. From the video I learned that paint had color pigments in it. I thought pigments only had something to do with the coloring of our skin , but since I've seen the video I now know what I didn't know before.

Comment1(Bryce)Week3

This is the comment I gave Bryce's post : Good job. I think you gave a great answer. You should have typed the question so your reader know's what your talking about.

Week 3 Prompt

At the top is my original question, answer, and picture to help solve the answer. The answer I gave was okay but I would like to elaborate on that answer. The sun's gravity affects tides because first of it is the prime mover of tides. In all the sun only affects 45% of the movement of the tides. Next is the moon's gravity. The moon is known to have a greater affect on  tides than the sun because the moon is a whole lot closer to the earth than the sun is. Even though the sun's gravitational pull is larger on the earth it's influence on the tides is not as strong as the moon's. The affect of the certain gravities can be determined by the earth's tilt. Now with all that said I think I have come to the conclusion that the moon's gravity has a greater affect on the Earth's tides.
