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

2. 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

3. 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?

4. 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.

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

6. 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?

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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?

10. 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?
