Mystery telescope challenge
Hi everyone! This year I’m going to give you a term-long challenge to complete instead of a final. The challenge will be in two parts; One part will be answering questions and the other is a pure RP challenge. I want to test your astronomy knowledge in what will hopefully be a fun way by posting a new question each RP month which, if you complete along with the RP challenge, can earn you up to 40 house points at the end of the school term along with a mystery prize.
Intrigued? Then subscribe to this thread and participate to earn glory for your house and for yourself!
The rules:
New questions will be posted each rp month, a month in the rp is 10 RL days. The questions will test your knowledge in astronomy. They may be about past lessons, former or current professors, or just general astronomy knowledge which shouldn’t be too hard to find.
All answers to questions must be PM'd to Nordic Witch. Do not post them in this thread. Doing so will result in point loss.
The answers are not to be shared.
If you participate in the RP challenge, you will RP your student stargazing from windows in the school, in the observatory, or out on the grounds. The minimum is 10 quality rp posts. The maximum is 15 rp posts.
A quality post consists of detail and should not be a one liner.
You will need to PM Nordic Witch with the links to your stargazing posts by the end of term.
You can do the RP challenge with a a partner or a group but you still need to send me links of at least 10 of your own posts.
Its up to you all if you send me the answers to questions as they pop up or collect them and send them in all at once along with the RP links in one PM at the end of term.
Who taught Astronomy in the books to the Trio and also who was the first character/professor to teach Astronony in the School RPG on SS?
Occ: I want two names sent to me via PM.
a helpful place to look for answers would be HERE & HERE
SPOILER!!: Question #2
Question 2:
Which planet in the Solar System is almost as big as Earth in size? Which roman god/goddess is it named after?
this might be a fun place to experiment with and this an interesting read
SPOILER!!: Question #3
Question 3:
Who was the first person to set his foot on the Moon? What is his profession called? and thirdly what kind of transportation did he use when he together with his team explored the moon's surface for the first time?
looking up Apollo 11 might be helpful!
SPOILER!!: Question #4
Question 4:
What are Gallileo Galilei, Issac Newton and Copernicus respectively famous for? What has given them each a place in history?
slight edit by prefect on the wording
SPOILER!!: Question #5
Question 5:
How many rings does Saturn have and what are the rings composed of?
SPOILER!!: Question #6
Question 6:
Why do we have seasons?

So head on over lions. Even though class has begun, this shouldn't discourage you from participating if you haven't already RPed your character arriving! Simply pretend that you have been in the lesson all along and look for Tegz's MOST RECENT and respond to that.
Remember, every little bit helps!
Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the Charms Code of ConductBEFORE joining the lesson. Points WILL be taken if the rules are not followed.
Don't forget to subscribe to the thread and be on the lookout for Tegz's posts!

Reason: the lesson has begun. Go Go Gryffindor!
PLEASE do not post yourself arriving in the class and just pretend as if you have been there all along!
Make sure you have read Professor Bentley's rules BEFORE you arrive in class. Remember, Professor Bentley is OUR Head of House, so a low turn out from the lions would only wilt her heart! Don't forget to bring all your Herbology gear and to wear your uniform!
Don't forget to subscribe to the thread and be on the lookout for Hera's posts!
See you there!

~*Introducing the Muggle Studies Magic Free Fun Zone!!!*~
Across from the Muggle Studies classroom, an older door hides a new surprise set up by Professor Cerulean to further introduce and immerse students in some more of the fun aspects of Muggle Life.
When the door is open, you will step into a room that has been charmed to match the theme of the room. Inside this room, no student is allowed to use magic. It is a completely Magic Free Fun Zone.
Every few months (few weeks OOC), the theme of the room will change to something else. During this time, you can RP taking part in those activities.
The first theme of the year has just opened up!!!!
So head over, grab some popcorn, a drink, and some candy, and have a seat and start enjoying the movie!!!

a note from the professors: OOC: Guys there is NO point in "catching up" your posts. It just messes everything up and confuses US when we are replying to YOU so don't do it. From here on out, if you do it, you lose 5 points automatically if you do this. No discussion.

Click HERE to find some fun events including Horseshoes, Shuffleboard, Hippogriff Races, Duels, Three-Legged Races, Lilypad Leaping, and a Potato Sack Race!!!
Lions! Why come out and play?
Besides the chance to play with friends and have the chance for a lot of fun RPing, you can also HELP Gryffindor. Why is that? Well, with each game you play, there is a chance to win tokens and WITH those tokens you can receive house points!
Quote:
House Points:
1 token= 1 house point
2 tokens= 2 house points
3 tokens= 3 house points
etc.
You cannot exchange half of your tokens for house points and the other half for a physical prize. It's either/or.
To claim house points please provide links to the announcements which indicate that YOU have received tokens/ and how many you have received. No fibbing or making up the values thank you.
be sure you have read the rules BEFORE you post in class!
PLEASE do not announce yourself arriving to class and just pretend you have been there the entire time!

CharmsLessonOne
There is still time to get those practice posts in lions! LOOK at those points lions! LOOK how far behind we are! All you need are THREE posts in order to earn our house some pride! The instructions for the activity are show below and you can read the entire post here.
ooc: instructions:
1. cast prehenso on the hand your character is not using their wand with (fairly obvious... right?)
2. put your wand down and touch your desk with both hands and compare the different feeling between the gripping charm and how your hand usually feels on contact with the wood. take note of the tingling sensation!
3. cast finite on your charmed hand.
Professor Schirmer has also announced the homework and how the rest of this lesson will be. You can read below and see the actual post here
ooc: I will post the next part in a new thread in the grounds as soon as I can. The game will begin tomorrow at: 6pm EST/11pm GMT/Midday Tegz time
I will LINK the thread from here when it is ready. The game will serve as HOMEWORK, so there will not be an additional assignment given. Points for the lesson (what we've done so far) will go in as soon as I get a chance as well.
You may still post here if you didn't get your practising in, or would like to ask questions or just have your character practise some more.
Come on lions! We can do this!
Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the Charms Code of Conduct before joining the lesson. Points WILL be taken if the rules are not followed.

Use all spaces in the school properly lions! We have already lost hard earned points for this sort of thing even if it was a misunderstanding! Remember to READ READ READ!

Herbology Homework One
Task:
Even though Fire Seed Bushes take an immensely long time to grow, even up to 250 years, they do not take very long to sprout. Just two days after the first Herbology lesson, you will find that your Fire Seed Bush has sprouted and is hopefully rather healthy.
Remembering that they like dark and damp conditions, your task is to go and pay your Fire Seed Bushling a visit. In doing so, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Ensure that it is in a dark enough area of Greenhouse 2. If not, then kindly ask the Ivy to block a bit more of the light out. Don't forget to thank it and give it a pat or a hug.
2. Give your Fire Seed a LIGHT sprinkling of water. Remember it has to be boiling hot water.
3. Sing a song to your Fire Seed and dance in circles around it. All plants need some entertainment for development.
4. In the stored cupboard by the entrance of the greenhouse you will find a small bag of blood and bone mix. Take a pinch of it and sprinkle it around the Bushling's base. Try not to burn yourself.
5. Read the Fire Seed Bushling a bedtime story of your choice and wish it sweet dreams.
Note: You must RP these activities in The Greenhouses. You must do this in 5 posts. Then when you have finished, PM me the links to your posts by clicking on the #number icon in the corner of your posts.
OOC: Please read through the Herbology Rules and Expectations in regards to submitting homework. I will NOT accept late submissions. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me a PM, and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.
Team up lions! This activity is worth up to 20 points. 20! Think of it this way, if 5 lions participate in this and earn full points, that is an additional 100 points for our house! This is a fantastic opportunity to close the gap AND to RP with friends in a creative and fun way!
