Let’s Explore

What you need: ⋆ Chart paper ⋆ A yardstick ⋆ A ruler ⋆ A pencil ⋆ Colored Pencils

Procedure: 1. Let the length of each sheet of chart paper equal 36 astronomical units (AU). 1 AU = appx. 92,960,000 miles. 2. Make a Model Mark the location of the Sun at one end. 3. Measure the distance that each planet would be from the Sun and draw the planet on the paper towel.

Let’s Explore

Draw Conclusions: 1. Interpret Data: Compare the distances between Mercury and Mars, Mars and Jupiter, and Jupiter and Neptune. Which are farthest apart? 2. Infer: What can you conclude about the distances between the planets in the solar system? Explore More: Your model has all of the planets in a line. How could you make a model to show the positions of the planets at a specific time?

One Pager Rubric

5 points - labeled with title, date, and page number (both pages). 10 points - four or more colors added that match the colors described for objects in our solar system. 20 points - a diagram of our solar system is created with the sun, all eight planets, Pluto, and Earth’s moon labeled. 15 points - at least one fact about each of the following: Pluto, comet, meteor, and asteroid. 40 points - at least three facts about the properties of each of the eight planets. 10 points - at the bottom of one (or both) of the pages for the one pager you write at least three sentences explaining how Earth can sustain life while other planets cannot.

What is the solar system?

In ancient times, observers noticed that the stars stayed the same

distance from one another as they moved across the night sky. However, they noticed a few exceptions. Five of the tiny bright lights appeared in different parts of the sky every night. They did not stay the same distance from the other stars. At other times they were not present at all. The ancient Greek observers named these objects planets, a word that means “wanderer.” A planet is a large object that orbits a star. Many ancient observers believed that Earth was the center of everything. They believed the Sun and all the objects in the night sky revolved around Earth in perfect circles. However, many astronomers doubted this belief because the planets moved in different ways.

What is an atmosphere?

The previous slide mentioned that Mercury lacks an atmosphere. Talk to your group about what you think an atmosphere is and how would you define it.

Radiation

On a previous slide it mentioned that Earth’s atmosphere helps protect life on Earth from Sun’s intense radiation. Talk to your group about your definition of radiation and why it’s important that our atmosphere protects us from much of this.

Radiation Defined

Radiation - the transfer of energy through waves or fast traveling particles. Radiation is a high-energy wave that is small enough to infiltrate human cells and destroy tissue. This radiation can come from the sun and cause sunburns. Overexposure to radiation can harm tissues of the body and cause cancer. Extreme radiation from nuclear power plant meltdowns can destroy environments and living things for miles around.

How do the moons compare?

A moon is a natural object that orbits a planet. Different planets have different numbers and sizes of moons. The inner planets have fewer moons than the outer

  • planets. Mercury and Venus do not have moons. Earth

has one moon, and Mars has two. With more than 60 moons, Jupiter has the most moons

  • f any planet in the solar system. Saturn has more than

45 moons. Astronomers have discovered at least 27 moons around Uranus and 13 moons orbiting Neptune. As astronomers observe the outer planets with better telescopes and with space probes, they continue to find more moons.

Moons are also called satellites (SA•tuh•lites). A

satellite is an object in space that circles around another object. While moons are natural satellites, people also put objects into space that orbit Earth or

  • ther planets. These objects are called artificial
  • satellites. They include weather and communications

satellites as well as space probes that orbit planets to

  • bserve their surfaces.

The size of the moons in the solar system varies. Some

  • f the moons are only a few kilometers wide. Jupiter’s

Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. Ganymede is larger in diameter than Pluto and Mercury. Earth’s moon is also larger than Pluto and is visible without a telescope. Ganymede is the only other moon that can be seen without a telescope.

Scholar Project

Let’s use your knowledge on how we can survive on Earth. We are going on a quest to locate another planet where we could find life.

Video Presentation

You’ve completed your online

mission, now it’s time to showcase what you’ve learned. You will create a video on your device explaining your online mission and how knowing Earth’s properties helped you in choosing your planet. Your video must not be more than 3 minutes long. It can be in iMovie or just using your device’s camera

  • feature. Your video must meet all of

the requirements listed on the grading rubric. Grading Rubric - ⋆ 5 points - A title with the project name, date, and scholar names are listed at the beginning. ⋆ 15 points - Each scholar has equal (or close to equal) speaking parts. ⋆ 50 points - Earth’s properties for the ability to sustain life are explained and compared to how you chose your planet. ⋆ 30 points - All notebook pieces are explained in the video.
