WEEKLY EXPLORATIONS...
QUESTIONS:
What are some factors that make some stars brighter than others?
What are some factors that make some stars appear brighter than others?
What are some characteristics of our sun? How does our sun compare to other stars?
Discuss: Why is it important to study the sun?
What effect does DISTANCE from earth have on the APPEARED BRIGHTNESS of stars?
What is included in our solar system?
In-Class:
Monday NO SCHOOL
Wednesday.
QUESTION:
What causes some STARS to BE BRIGHTER?
What causes some STARS to APPEAR BRIGHTER (even if they are not actually as bright) as another?
1. Finish taking notes on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (a diagram that classifies stars based on their temperature/brightness)... identify WHERE our sun falls within the diagram and discuss how other stars compare...
2. CLASS INVESTIGATION #2: We will use flashlights to model TWO stars with much DIFFERENT "absolute magnitudes" (one brighter and one dimmer) and model to see if/how distance affects the "apparent magnitude" of each of those stars.
3. Sketch a model of our investigation & take notes on our findings...
Rewatch this video: Video to show how much the SIZE differs amongst stars....
No Assignment
What makes some stars brighter? What makes some stars APPEAR brighter?
What is included in OUR solar system?
1. Writing Assignment...Lesson Wrap up: Flashlight Findings (take this out of one of your envelopes) Copy the 2 questions above about brightness and write a response and SHARE
2. Complete the Google Classroom Savaas Realize Assignment: The Sun & STARS: 3 parts... Read &
Respond, Video & Quiz... Complete All 3 parts in order
3. Read/Research: Planets in OUR solar system (Google Classroom, Textbook & provided websites)
2 parts...
1. Read pg. 248-249 and 258-259 and USE it to SORT & Order the planets on Slides 1-2 in
Google Classroom (drag)
***Choose 1 planet to research & take notes about...
2. Read/use pg. 248-249 and pg. 258-260 to Research & Take NOTES in the ONE BOX
(find your planet on slide 3,4 or 5) Google Classroom on your planet
Assignment: Finish any work you didn't get done in class today...
QUESTION:
What is included in OUR solar system?
1. Turn in Flashlight Findings Paragraph (be sure your name is on it)
2. Work Time: Be sure BOTH Google Classroom Assignments from yesterday are completed 3. Present/Share Planet Research: and everyone should fill in all of the notes in their Google Classroom Doc... If you are absent, use your textbook and the links provided in Google Classroom to take notes about the other 7 planets... now we know how each planet is DIFFERENT/UNIQUE (contrast)
Now, let's COMPARE them and find SIMILARITIES:
4. Use presentations AND pg. 248-249 and 258-259 and USE it to fill out slide 6 from yesterday... write characteristics/similarities amongst the four INNER planets and do the same for the four OUTER planets
Several writing assignments in the coming weeks.
No major tests/projects this week
