1. Understand the movement of planetary bodies.
Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught.
Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations.
Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary.
Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level.
Understand how our view of the solar system has changed over time and how discoveries made have led to our changing our view of the solar system.
Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons, size, composition, type of atmosphere, gravity, temperature and surface features.
Understand the movement of planetary bodies.
Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds.
Understand how proximity to the sun influences planets.
Understand the methods and tools scientists use to learn about other planets and moons in our solar system.
Understand the conditions needed for a habitable world and determine if there are habitable worlds in our solar system or outside the solar system.
Understand how we look for and study solar systems other than our own.

2. I’m having surgery next Monday!

4. I will be gone ALL next week
I will be in bed unconscious on pain medication and unable to move
Grades for the 9 weeks will be submitted for this class over the weekend

The last I will accept ANY other grade is Wednesday.

5. When is the ONLY day to turn in your project?

6. When can we NOT turn in the project?

7. So the only day to turn in your project is?

8. When can we turn in the project?

9. Planetary Data – The should be glued into your science journal
We will fill this in line by line over the next few weeks

10. Solar System Objects
Create a t-table and fill in as you read “FYI: What is a planet”
Next to your table, list the 4 other types of objects in our solar system as you read “FYI: Solar System Objects”
Group 1

11. Scale of the Solar System…

12. Please, Please! Play Dough Please don’t mix colors
Please make sure it all gets back into the container
Smoosh everything together at the end, so next period can’t see the sizes
Please make sure the cap gets put back on so it doesn’t dry out
Please keep the planet strips at your desk as well

13. Modeling the Size of Planets
*complete the activity to make a scale model of the solar system for size.

14. Modeling the Size of Planets
