LOS: Atomic Number, Atomic Mass Evidence - Atomic Basics and the P.T.E. 3) View the slide presentation. Be sure to add the LOS and "Rules" for making sense of an Element Block on the Periodic Table to your notebook on page 105. 4) Be sure to think about the relationship between how atoms are structured (all of the parts) and how the P.T.E. is organized. Activity 11: Focus Question: How are galaxies classified and how can their motion be described?5/1/2017 May 1 - Galaxies and the Big Bang Theory (not the show..however, that is a great show...)

Constellations are groups of stars that form unique patterns in the night sky. These patterns can resemble mythological characters, people animals or objects, and have entertained mankind for much of recorded history. Most, if not all of the 88 officially recognized constellations were named by the ancient Greeks, and were created for a variety of reasons. Your task is to select a constellation, gather information pertaining to it, and create a presentation on Prezi explaining what you have learned.
What is Required? This project demonstrates the branch between science and history, helping you to gain understanding of how the night sky was mapped and developed by ancient civilizations. This presentation must be completed using the program Prezi, which can be downloaded as an app, or completed on the Prezi website. An account must be made before beginning your Prezi document. Prezi or Google Slides presentation must be shared with me by the end of class Tuesday. Follow the in class directions to share your prezi with Mr. B. Use this email ------> [email protected] <------ for sharing Your presentation must include the following information related to your chosen constellation:
BIBLIOGRAPHY SLIDE: Students must write down the internet resources used, as they will need to create a bibliography. Add your sources to a separate slide at the end of your creation. Animations/videos are acceptable, but not required. NO TEXTING LANGUAGE ALLOWED! **Use EasyBib.com for an efficient citation generator. Type or paste in the website you used, complete the missing information, generate the citation, paste into your presentation, repeat for all other sources. Grading Your Project: This in-class project will is worth a total of 80 points, and will be scored based on the rubric your teacher will give to you in the coming days. Partial credit will be given for late submissions turned in within two weeks of the original due date. Remember: this is an in-class assignment, so make sure to focus in class and not fall behind.

Activity 9: Focus Question - What is the H.R. Diagram and what does it explain about stars?4/19/2017 Putting Stars in their Place! (notebook pages 92 - 93) Step 1: Set up page 93 with the focus question (above), Title, Date, and LOS: HR Diagram Step 2: Complete the Star Classification Lab using your knowledge about the factors that classify stars and some colored pencils. Allow Mr. B to set up the chart with the class before you begin. Once completed, trim and glue your created HR Diagram facing up on page 93. Label the top of page 92 "H.R. Analysis" and glue the Conclusions (page 2) down to page 92 in your notebook. Step 3: Once completed, take the HR Diagram Quiz to check your understanding. Review your answers and retake the quiz until mastery (Perfection). Putting Stars in their Place! (notebook pages 92 - 93)

Review your answers and retake the quiz until mastery (Perfection). The Universe Beyond: STARS (notebook pages 90 - 91) Follow the directions below to download and access the online textbook. Step 1: Complete the guided Stars: Cornell Notes using the online Holt textbook. Access the Holt text by going to the "Class Connect" tab at the top of the page and selecting the 8th grade text PDF file. It will download in a few minutes while you set up your notebook. Step 2: Set-up your notebook to include the title, date, focus question, and LOS: Spectrum (pg. 91), Absorption Spectrum (91), Apparent magnitude (90), Absolute Magnitude (90). (Add LOS to your index) "Evidence" - Classifying Stars Step 3: Using the online textbook, scroll to page 436 to get started. Complete each area of the guided notes. Fill in blanks and be sure to answer each question thoroughly. Step 4: Go to your BIG IDEA page 74, put a Heading: BIG IDEA 2: Classifying Stars Write a summary of your notes to explain the techniques and information used by scientist to identify and classify stars. Purpose: Investigate the structure and layers of the Sun. Understanding the Sun allows scientists to prepare people and technology for the temperamental energy provided by this massive ball of fire. Class Notes: Natural Satellites (Notebook pages 86-87) Purpose: Identify a moon and conduct research to aid in your 3-D Model Project. Get to know your moon! Step 1: Set up your notebook. Add the title, date, focus question. - skip a line and add "Evidence: 3-D Moon Project Notes" Step 2: Pick a Moon to investigate. Use some resources below to help identify a moon along with gathering information about your chosen moon. Resources: Use your 3D Solar System Simulator App, NASA (Moons in our Solar System), or other respectable Astronomy sources. Be sure to note your resources so you can revisit them later. Step 3: Divide page 87 into 4 equal boxes. You will record your findings in each box based on each label. Use the description below to guide your specific research. Use the visual to set up your notebook correctly. Box 1: Location (provide details about the planet it belongs to, distance from the planet, other moons orbiting with it, etc...) Box 2: Measurements (provide details about the moon's size, orbit, rotation and revolution, gravity, density, speed, temperature, etc...) Box 3: Composition (provide details about what it is made of in regards to its core, mantle, surface, and atmosphere) Box 4: Interesting Facts/Details (Provide at least 3-5 unique or interesting facts about the moon. May be based on information stated already, but stands out as unique compared to what we are used to) Step 4: Set up page 86. Use the same 4 square set-up as used previously. Provide the following details in each section on page 86. Box 1: Possibilities of Life already or potential colonization by humans? - (provide details about what may exist currently or the potential of humans living on it) Box 2: Comparison to our Moon (Luna). - (Provide a basis of comparison of your chosen moon to our moon, Luna. This will allow you and others to create a comparative understanding of your moon. Maybe compare size, structure, orbit, and other notable features compared to Luna). Box 3: Colored model/drawing of the Moon. (If you see different images of your moon, choose the more frequent/popular visual to model). Box 4: Interesting Surface Features. (Provide surface details such as craters, mountains, volcanoes, cracks, water, canyons, weather, etc... ) Step 5: If finished early, your next task is to open GOOGLE DOCS or SLIDES and create a Information PLACARD to be displayed on your "3D Moon Model." View your project directions for the project and design a neat, creative, and organized placard that includes the required information. Google Slides might be better. Create a slide or two that can be used as your placard. A nice bold design with easy to read text would be recommended.
Your last task would be to write your essay about the possibility of life existing currently on your moon based on the moons composition,temp, atmosphere, etc...Also, could humans use the moon as a destination to colonize for life, research, supply station, etc... Think about all of the things that are necessary to sustain life on Earth and identify how you could overcome meet those needs on your moon. Does the moon provide resources or would we have to create or bring our own? Use research, evidence, and logic to back up your claims. |
