James Webb Space Telescope

What do you think this is? Ask them what it is designed to do and where it will be situated? Explain that it is a space telescope that will collect infrared radiation, (heat) coming from distant stars and planets, so scientists and astronomers can find out more about how they are formed.

Where is the JWST? Image Credit: NASA When it is launched, (current date 2020) the JWST will travel to a point in space, L2 where it will orbit the sun. Image Credit: NASA

How do the properties of materials change after freezing? Design an investigation to find out how properties of materials change after freezing. Credit:
