Today was a day to work on the final draft of our paper, since the symposium and such is now over with. No more observations now.
Since Ali and I have been done with our paper for awhile, we are still waiting for the Professor to read it. Ali sent another copy to the Professor via e-mail just the other day.
As for this blog, the journey is now over. No more research on my part will be done....especially since I am not a science major. Therefore, it has been great updating and chatting with you all.
I hope you learned something....
Thank you for listening.

April 23rd
Symposium day!
The symposium went very well. Ali and I explained our project and results to many students and a few teachers. A lot of people complimented our poster and admitted learning something new. They seemed very interested and asked us many questions.
However, it was a little embarrassing when we first got there because everyone had Print Shopped posters, while Ali and I took the time to hand-make our poster. But in the end, we made the poster work, since we were unable to hang it up, by sitting it on the chair and stapeling various pages of our paper on the wall behind it. Many people commented and liked the model of the sun that we made to accompany it.
Overall, the symposium went well.

April 16th-18th
Ali and I have finished the paper, and would just like the Professor to read it. We keep sending it to her, and waiting for a response....
So now, since we must present the results of our findings at the End-of-the-Year Symposium, which is comin up on the 23rd, we decided to stop observing and work on our poster. Ali wants the poster to be black but bought a white one because it is cheaper, so we painted it black. We also printed out some definitions, our abstract and conclusion, our data tables and graphs, and mounted them on the poster with some colored construction paper. We also printed out some pictures and made a model of the sun to help explain how the sun works, serving as a visual aid for better understanding to the audience.

Ali and I have had no luck with weather these last few Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is awful. It is either raining or cloudy. Therefore, no observations have been made, and we have been working on the paper. We have updated and added more tables and graphs. One in particular was showing a relationship between the number of prominences and the number of Northern Lights occurrences for that same day. It turns out that the more prominences, the more the Northern Lights occur in places. For example, if there is one prominence, the Northern Lights will be seen in three locations. However, if there are 3 prominences, then the Northern Lights are seen in 7 locations, for example. This shows a positive correlation between the events on the sun and the events on Earth.
So, we have just been working on the paper, making conclusions, analyzing the data, and researching information, waiting for a sunny day....
