Studying Space  Chapter 18

   scientists study objects by the radiation they give 

How would you explain the concept of a day, month, and a year to a small child?   

MeasureDay = time take the Earth to rotate on its axis

Revise your explanation of a day, month, and year to a small child. Your group must include an illustration with a caption describing each illustration.

History in space

Early beliefsUniverse consisted of sun, moon, mars, earth, and venus. Stars were the edges of the universe.

Claudius PtolemyBelieved the earth was the center of the universe and

everything revolved around the earth.

Geocentric = earth centered

    He was wrong but predicted the movements of the planets.

Nicolaus CopernicusBelieved the sun was the center of the universe and

       the planets revolved around the sun.

 Heliocentric = sun centered.

Tycho BraheBelieved in geocentric but that the sun 

and moon revolved around the earth but the other planets revolved around the sun.

Johannes KeplerProved that the sun is not the exact 

center of the universe and all the planets revolve around the sun.

Galileo Galilei1609 was one of the first people to use telescopeDiscovered

craters and mountains on the moon4 of Jupiter’s moonssunspots phases of Venus

Isaac NewtonProved all objects are attracted to each 

other by gravitational forces.Helped explain discoveries from scientists before him.

AssignmentIn an assigned group, organize the notecard with the facts to the correct astronomer that each fact represents.
