Do Now February 6, 2019 Use the CARE Method Some places in the universe are too distant for humans to observe directly. Which of these technologies is used to observe these distant places? A. Probe B. Rocket C. Space shuttle D. Space station

Standard 8.ETS1.2 Research and communicate information to describe how data from technologies(telescopes, spectroscopes, satellites, and space probes) provide information about objects in the solar system and universe. Objective SWBAT analyze the ways people explore space using crewed and uncrewed technologies

How do people travel to space? Rocket- a machine that uses gas to escape Earth’s gravitational pull Space Shuttles- reusable spacecraft that launches with the aid of solid rocket boosters (SRB) and gas fuel— example: Columbia What is the purpose of rocket boosters? To help the shuttle to reach orbit How can you relate a shuttle launch to Newton’s Laws of Motion?

See, Think, Wonder What do you observe? Describe the picture What do you think? Explain what you think is represented in the picture. What do you wonder? What questions do you have about the picture.

Space Shuttle: Columbia What is the story behind the spacecraft Columbia? AEIOU Reflection

How do people live in space? ISS- International Space Station 6 crew members live aboard ISS on average of 6 months at a time Video Questions 1. What is life like on the ISS? 2. How is it different from Earth?

What are some challenges people face in space? 1. Necessary fuel to get home 2. Supplies i.e. food, air, water 3. Protection from cold air and radiation from the sun 4. Adjusting to weightlessness 5. Weakening of bones and muscles

What uncrewed technologies do people use to explore space? Telescopes in space - used to take clearer images Space probes- uncrewed vehicle that carries scientific data collecting instruments to objects in space- ex. Stardust Orbiters- uncrewed spacecraft designed to orbit objects in space ex. Space Shuttle-Columbia Landers-designed to land on the surface of a body in space ex. Mars Pathfinder Rovers- a small vehicle that comes out of the lander and explores the planet or moon ex. Spirit and Opportunity

How are satellites used to observe Earth? To study Earth’s features To Monitor Changes in Earth Systems To Collect Weather Data For Search and Rescue Operations To provide Composite Images For Communication For Relating Information to Distant Locations on Earth For Navigating and Locating ex. GPS Looking into Space Why is it important for satellites to provide information about each purpose listed above?

Q/A: Write the question. Give 3 example of how satellites are used for communication. Why is most space exploration accomplished with spacecraft that do not have crews on board? How can you benefit from using a GPS unit in your daily life? What is one advantage to using an orbiter to study objects in space?

Exit Slip: Match the word to the definition a small vehicle that comes out of the lander and explores the planet or moon uncrewed vehicle that carries scientific instruments to objects in space designed to land on the surface of a body in space uncrewed spacecraft designed to orbit objects in space used to take clearer images reusable spacecraft that launches with the aid of solid rocket boosters.
