List the planets in order from the sun to Pluto!
SWBAT describe the planets’ distances from the sun.
Warmup, page 9?Tuesday, Sept 8
1. write your hypothesis about where the planets are in the solar system on the paper I give you
2. write the answers on the other side
Solar System in Your Pocket
What were you surprised about?
What were you sure about?
In your journal:
If Pluto is roughly 6 billion miles away from the sun, what would be the scale on our solar system in your pocket if the paper were EXACTLY 1 meter?
Using this scale, how far is Uranus from the Sun IN METERS?
Warmup Sept 10SWBAT use scientific notation to better explain the distances in the solar system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eh5BpSnBBw
After you watch, write down how you feel about your size in the universe in your journal
Hmmm, if our scale is 6,000,000,000 km = 1m, then we need to divide each distance by 6 billion BUT it won’t fit in the cheap calculators!
What to do, what to do???
Scientific Notation
Is the way scientists easily handle very large or very small numbers.
6,000,000,000 = 6 * 10⁹
OR 0.0001666 = 1.7 * 10⁃⁴
Scientific Notation
SWBAT express distances and diameters in scientific notation
3.1 * 10⁴ = A. 310 B. 3100 C. 31000 D. 310000 E. 0.00031
Warmup EC HOMEWORK???Sept 11
Finish sheet Answer last question on back using
complete sentences
Scientific Notation
Read through both conclusions with your team.
Using the rubric, decide what grade you would give them and why.
Reread your conclusion on the quiz. How does it fit the rubric? Rewrite it to make it amazing!
Science conclusions
The nearest star to Earth, other than the sun, is 44,000,000,000,000 km from the Earth (4 light years away).
What is its distance in scientific notation?
HOMEWORK… Journal Quiz Friday REMIND text 81010 message @szies
Warm up, Monday, Sept 14SWBAT create a timeline that shows the origin of the solar system
IN Journal, label hypothesis: 1. How old is the earth?
2. How long has life been on Earth?
3. How long have humans been on Earth?
Timeline of the solar system
SCALE = 30 cm = 1 billion years 1cm = 33 million years
Using that scale, arrange the events in the order you think they occur
When you are done, start answering the questions
Timeline of the solar system
Put your events in the order that I discuss Answer the questions
Correct Order
Convert the distances from the sun into millimeters.
Convert the diameters into mm. Answer the questions.
Conversions in space!
Why do the planets revolve around the sun? Why do they not hit the sun or fly off?
HMWK due FRI JQ FRI Journals graded FRI
Warmup Sept 15SWBAT define gravity and create a law that describes the relationship between mass, distance and the force of gravity

pHet
Gravity
What happens when you increase the mass of the red ball?
Blue ball? What happens when you increase the
distance between the balls? What happens when you decrease the
distance?
Create a rule that describes the relationship between gravitational force, distance, and mass
pHet
According to the evidence investigated Monday, about how old is Earth?
Warmup Sept 16SWBAT create a rule describing gravity and describe its role in solar system creation
EXTRA CREDIT HOMEWORK!Lunar eclipse Sun Sept 27, 8:45 pm

1. Why does the story of our solar system start with an exploding star?
2. What was the early Earth made of and how did it come together?
3. What was happening at the heart of the nebula?
Video Notes in journal
Gravity sheet
Define words
Why does the moon look different from Earth?
Warmup Sept 17SWBAT determine how velocity affects the size of a crater
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpmXyJrs7iU
What impact do asteroids or meteors have on the Earth?
Crater lab
As the velocity increased, what will happen to the size of the crater? Why?
Today, go over velocity Write good conclusion 20 minutes
Friday Warmup SWBAT write a conclusion explaining how velocity and mass affect the size of a crater
Grade Journals, rubric Take Journal quiz
Grade Hmwk
What would happen if there was no moon revolving around the Earth?
Make a hypothesis in your journal.
From Friday: Take quiz and grade Homework turn in journal rubric
Warmup Sept 21SWBAT cite evidence that supports the importance of the moon
Quiz
As you watch the video, write down pieces of evidence that support or refute your hypothesis.
After the video, you will construct a concluding paragraph that discusses this evidence
NO MOON
What are tides?
If the moon was a LOT closer, how would tides differ?
My grades close Thursday TEST FRIDAY Have you turned in:
◦ Solar system in pocket worksheet?◦ Gravity worksheet?◦ Journal quiz 3?◦ Journal grading rubric?
Warmup Sept 22SWBAT use evidence to discuss the importance of the moon
As you watch the video, write down pieces of evidence that support or refute your hypothesis.
After the video, you will construct a concluding paragraph that discusses this evidence
