4. Planets $100 What are the nicknames for the inner vs. outer planets?

5. Planets $100 Inner Planets: Rocky Planets Outer Planets: Gas Giants

6. Planets $200 What are the inner planets in order from the sun?

7. Planets $200 Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

8. Planets $300 What are the outer planets in order from the sun?

9. Planets $300 Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

10. Planets $400 What are 2 ways could we draw the solar system? Tell some pros and cons of each.

11. Planets $400 Orbital and Linear; Orbital shows that the sun is in the center of our solar system and linear does not; Linear is easier to draw; Orbital shows the revolving/ path of the planets

12. Planets for $500 1. Why don't all planets have 24 hours in a day? 2. 365 hours in a year??

13. Planets for $500 1. Different DAYS: each planet rotates on it’s axis at different speeds so some planets have shorter or longer days than Earth. 2. Different YEARS: A planet’s distance from the sun determines a planet’s year. The closer a planet is from the sun – shorter their year; farther away a planet is from the sun – longer year year.

14. The Sun for $100 What is the star at the center of our solar system called?

15. The Sun for $100 The sun

18. The Sun for $300 What do the sun, Earth, and moon have in common?

19. The Sun for $300 They are all spheres, have gravity (but of course different amounts of gravity), all have atmospheres (Earth’s atmosphere is the only one to support life though)…

20. The Sun for $400 What are sunspots?

21. The Sun for $400 These are the dark areas that are cooler than the rest of the sun’s surface.

22. The Sun for $500 Could we live without the sun in our solar system? What would happen?

23. The Sun for $500 NO! The sun provides energy for us, we need the sun to make food, keep us warm, keep the planets in orbit… What would happen? We’d die of thirst/starvation, freeze, Earth would be floating around in space…a disaster! 

24. The Moon for $100 Dude, I just totally wiped out on that gnarly wave. BTW - what causes tides?

25. The Moon for $100 Ooooh ya…Dude, it’s due to the moon and sun’s gravitational pull. Whew.

26. The Moon for $200 Why would the same object weigh more on the Earth than on the moon?

27. The Moon for $200 The moon has less gravity/gravitational pull than Earth.

28. The Moon for$300 What phase is the moon in when it travels between the sun and Earth?

29. The Moon for $300 new moon

30. The Moon for $400 1. How long does it take the moon to orbit around Earth? 2. Name things the moon orbiting helps with.

31. The Moon for $400 1.About 29.5 days/1 month 2.Lunar eclipse, solar eclipse, phases of the moon, daily low tides, daily high tides (Surfs up, Dude!)

32. The Moon for $500 Why does the moon “glow” at night?

33. The Moon for $500 The moon “glows” due to the reflection of the sun’s light!

34. R vs. R for $100 What is it called when the moon goes around Earth and how long does this take?

35. R vs. R for $100 Revolve 29.5 days/about 1 month

36. R vs. R for $200 What does Earth do in 24 hours/daily?

37. R vs. R for $200 Rotate on its axis **Full day occurrs when Earth does one complete rotation**

38. R vs. R for $300 What does the earth do in 1 year/365 days?

39. R vs. R for $300 Revolve around the sun *Every birthday means you lived another revolution!

40. R vs. R for $400 What does the moon do in about 29.5 days/1 month? This is also the reason for the moon’s phases!

41. R vs. R for $400 Revolve around earth

42. R vs. R for $500 How can 1 person be seeing a sunset while another person is seeing a sunrise at the same moment on Earth?

43. R vs. R for $500 Earth’s Rotation on it’s axis allows 1 person to see a sunset while another person is seeing a sunrise.

44. Misc. for $100 If a high tide starts at 2:30 p.m., when will the next low tide occur? Next high tide?

45. Misc. for $100 Low tide: 8:30 p.m. High tide: 2:30 a.m. (about 6 hours pass between low to high tide; about 12 hours pass between low to low tide usually)

46. Misc. for $200 Describe the position of the new moon in space in relation to the sun, Earth, and moon. Describe where a full moon would be.

47. Misc. for $200 New Moon: the sun is behind the moon; between the Earth and the sun Full Moon: when you can see the entire side of the moon; when the Earth is between the sun and the moon

48. Misc. for $300 1. Which object in space will you have the least amount of gravity on: Sun, Earth, or Moon 2. Most amount of gravity?

49. Misc. for $300 1.Moon! The moon’s mass/gravitational pull is 1/6 of Earth’s. 2.Most: SUN because it has the most mass/gravitational pull

50. Misc. for $400 What times of day do you see the biggest shadows? Smallest shadows?

51. Misc. for $400 Biggest shadows: early morning (sun rising from the East) and late afternoon (sun setting in the West) Smallest shadows: around noon (sun is above you/middle of the sky)

52. Misc. for $500 Which drawing below would best represent the flagpole’s shadow at 5:00 p.m.? Why? AC BD

53. Misc. for $500 D 5:00p.m. **Because the sun sets in the West & the shadow will be longer the closer it gets to sunset**

54. Grab Bag for $100 Your shadow changing throughout the day depends on: A.Earth’s rotation B.Moon’s orbit C.Sun’s sky position D.The way you’re facing the sun

55. Grab Bag for $100 C. Sun’s sky position

56. Grab Bag for $200 What is the path that a planet or moon takes as it moves around another object called?

57. Grab Bag for $200 A revolution (or orbit)

58. Grab Bag for $300 1.Are we in the Northern or Southern hemisphere? 2.What do the Northern & Southern hemispheres look like on a map? 3.What does that mean in regards to seasons?

59. Grab Bag for $300 1.We are in the Northern Hemisphere. 2.Northern Hemisphere is in the “top” half of Earth; Southern Hemisphere is in the “bottom” half of Earth 3.Places in the Northern hemisphere are in the same season cycle while places in the Southern hemisphere have opposite season cycles as us.

60. Grab Bag for $400 1.What causes seasons 2.What position would the Northern hemisphere need to be during the winter? Summer?

61. Grab Bag for $400 1.The tilting of Earth causes season change. 2.Winter: Northern hemisphere tilts away from sun (less direct sunlight) Summer: Northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun (more direct sunlight)

62. Grab Bag for $500 Name all 8 phases of our moon and describe how each one looks in 10 seconds or less. It’s a trick question. Go to the next slide.

63. Grab Bag for $500 Now go to game entitled “Moon Phases – Be the Expert” and play. Good luck!
