3 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. 1.Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught. 2.Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations. 3.Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary. 4.Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level.

4 Bell Work 1-12-16 Could unmanned probes and rovers collect enough information to find out everything we want to know about the Moon?

5 The History of Human Spaceflight

6 LOTS OF PICTURES Now: Notes on Right Tomorrow Night: Timeline on left Timeline with 30 dates/events In your notes, you need 4 facts about Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Shuttle, ISS missions

7 Before NASA 19451945 German Rocket Scientists (including Werhner Von Braun), relocated to the US German Rocket Scientists (including Werhner Von Braun), relocated to the US April 16, 1946April 16, 1946 First V-2 rocket launched in the US, official beginning of the US space program

11 Space Pioneers! November 3, 1957: Laika, first animal to orbit the earth aboard Sputnik 2 May 28, 1959: a Jupiter rocket lofted Miss Baker and Miss Able to an altitude of 300 miles for a 16-minute flight which also included 9 minutes of weightlessness. The flight traveled 1,500 miles downrange from the pad at Cape Canaveral launch complex 26B. January 31, 1961: Ham the Chimp was launched in a Mercury capsule aboard a Redstone rocket. The chimp had been trained to pull levers to receive rewards of banana pellets and avoid electric shocks.

13 Project Mercury October 7, 1958 Goals: To orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth; To investigate man's ability to function in space; To recover both man and spacecraft safely.

14 The Mercury Seven Project Mercury Astronauts, whose selection was announced on April 9, 1959, only six months after the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was formally established on October 1, 1958. They are: front row, left to right, Walter H. Schirra, Jr., Donald K. Slayton, John H. Glenn, Jr., and Scott Carpenter; back row, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., Virgil I. Gus Grissom, and L. Gordon Cooper.

15 The First Man in Space April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin, cosmonaut Flight aboard Vostok spacecraft lasted 108 minutes Also the first man to orbit earth
