Satellite Inquiry Project Blog Post

Have you ever seen a TED Talk? Well I have presented one about artificial satellites. Read this blog post to learn more about a few things in my TED Talk and the steps I used to make my TED Talk.

Two of the things I learned about satellites are their significance and about the first satellite that was ever launched. The significance of satellites is that they help humans with things like communication, weather forecasting, and gps. Scientists also use satellites for things like observing Earth/space and other planets. The second thing I learned was about the first satellite that was ever launched which was the Sputnik 1. The Sputnik 1 was launched on October 4, 1957 and it was launched by the Soviet Union.

During the research process, I learned that it is very difficult to create a TED Talk because there are so many steps that lead up to it.  Searching and taking notes about my topic was difficult because I had to put it in my own words.  It was hard to find information on my topic because there wasn’t a lot of information on my specific question. I found the narrative and the script much easier. The narrative is the notes in a different format. The script is breaking parts of the narrative into sections (slides).

So now you know about my TED Talk about artificial satellites. In my blog, I covered a few facts in my TED Talk and the steps leading up to the presentation. Would you do a TED Talk in the future?
