There are so many unexplored question about the universe that we can’t answer, but we do know about the moon. The question is what would happen if the Earth suddenly had more than one moon and how would it affect our lives. For this project, I found my research and presented my information here.

I think the information was very clearly shown with the visuals accompanying it, I didn’t even consider the animal aspect of having two moons. I have a question, How do you think both the moons are going to react with each other?
Awesome project!
All the information was clear to understand and it was enjoyable to watch.
Animals being affected was a great argument you brought up, though I feel like you could have dived deeper into how the Earths orbit could have changed and how that would affect not just the calendar but also the seasons or when the winter/summer solstice and fall/spring Equinoxes would be affected if they were to be. Furthermore, if the rotation of the Earth could change, how would that affect the Coriolis effect or El Niño/La Niña cycles?
All in all, Much science. Such wow.
I really enjoyed the visuals aspects of your presentation, it made the project very easy to follow. The topic itself is quite intriguing and I feel you summarized your research effectively. Overall, your presentation was fairly seamless. I never would have known how this could affect animals in such a way. I wonder how such high tides might affect the habitability of Earth?
