1 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Spore Activity 1: Planets Student sheets Copymasters cracking science! version 1.0 Contents Student Sheet 1Counting stars in the galaxy Student Sheet 2Detecting planets: planet size Student Sheet 3Detecting planets: star size Student Sheet 4 Detecting planets: how planets move across star Student Sheet 5 Detecting planets: distance of star from Earth Student Sheet 6 Detecting planets: weather conditions on Earth

2 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 1Spore Activity 1 Counting stars in the galaxy 1Fill in the number of stars within each square. (How will you decide whether to include a square or not?) 2Total the number of stars in each row. 3Add the totals and write the answer below the grid. Counting the stars in the galaxy.

3 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 2Spore Activity 1 Planet size Large planetMedium planetSmall planet These are the data we expect for different size planets. Which size planet can we be most sure of detecting? Why?

4 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 3Spore Activity 1 Star size Large starMedium starSmall star These are the data we expect for different size stars. Which size star would help us the most in detecting a planet? Why?

5 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 4Spore Activity 1 How planet moves across star Across middle of star These are the data we expect for how a planet moves across a star. Which movement would help us the most in detecting a planet? Why? Across top of starNever crosses star

6 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 5Spore Activity 1 Distance of star from Earth Nearby star These are the data we expect for stars at different distances from Earth. Which distance would help us the most in detecting a planet? Why? Medium distance starDistant star

7 Activity from the Alien unit © upd8 wikid, built by cracking science 2009 This page may have been changed from the original Student Sheet 6Spore Activity 1 Weather conditions on Earth Clear sky These are the data we expect for stars at different weather conditions on Earth. Which condition would help us the most in detecting a planet? Why? Medium visibility (quite cloudy) Low visibility (very cloudy)
