Standard #: SC.8.E.5.2 This document was generated on CPALMS - www.cpalms.org Recognize that the universe contains many billions of galaxies and that each galaxy contains many billions of stars. Subject Area: Science Grade: 8 Body of Knowledge: Earth and Space Science Big Idea: Earth in Space and Time - The origin and eventual fate of the Universe still remains one of the greatest questions in science. Gravity and energy influence the formation of galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy, stars, the planetary systems, and Earth. Humankind’s need to explore continues to lead to the development of knowledge and understanding of the nature of the Universe.

Related Resources Lesson Plan Name Amazing Galaxies Expanding the Universe Description In this activity, students will gain basic knowledge of the different types of galaxies. There is a presentation via Prezi to show, guided practice, and an activity. To measure their understanding, they will create a travel brochure for a galaxy. Students will need two classes or one 90 minute block to complete. Students will draw three dots on an unblown balloon to represent three different galaxies. They will measure the distance between these "galaxies" and then blow up the balloon in three stages, measuring the distance between the "galaxies" at each stage. Students will use inquiry to find out how many sugar crystals are in one packet of sugar. They will explore the number one billion and they will use this number to understand how many Galactic Goodies stars are in a galaxy and how many galaxies are in the universe. They will then create a 3-D model of a galaxy (edible model suggested). Students will then tie all of their information they have learned into a foldable activity. In this activity, students will gain basic knowledge of the different types of galaxies. To measure their understanding, they Galaxy Exploration: Clear or will complete a lab activity that will help them classify pictures Nebula? of different galaxy types. Students will need two days to complete this activity. Text Resource Name Astronomy Online Baby Stars in the Rosette Cloud Kepler A Search For Habitable Planets We Are Stardust Video/Audio/Animation Description This website is a collection of references, images, and information for general astronomy. This work covers topics from the basics of science and observation through the solar system, stars, cosmology, and telephotography. The material is clearly organized by topic using links to reference materials on the web. Images recently discovered by the Herschel telescope reveal the formation of previously unseen high-mass star formations. These new findings help us learn more about our own galaxy as well as star formation, and will lead to a better understanding of larger distant galaxies. This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. The text describes NASA’s “Kepler” mission, which uses a photometer telescope to examine our region of the Milky Way Galaxy for habitable planets similar to Earth. This informational text resource is intended to support reading in the content area. This text examines how humans and all things around us are made of elements created in stars. The article references fusion, the powerful collision of enormous stars, and the intense explosion of supernovas. All of this is tied to the creation of heavier elements that hurtle through space, to be reassembled as distant solar systems.
