Discovery Class Project - Space Exploration Timeline Each group will complete a different section of the timeline to compile at the end of the project. Guidelines for constructing the timeline will come later. Each group must complete 5-10 events for their section of the timeline, including their mandatory events Each event must be accompanied by an index card that states the date of the event, with a paragraph detailing the significance of the event to space exploration and understanding outer space and the universe. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Each event must also be accompanied by a visual representation of the event (May not be a print out from the computer) Groups must note all the sources used on 1-2 index cards on their section of the timeline (No Wikipedia, No WikiAnswers, No Yahoo!Answers) SCIENCE BOOK pages 221 – 235, 275 - 299 Observations before 1500 – Group 1 Find 5-10 significant events in understanding outer space made by persons or peoples prior to the invention of the telescope. You must include contributions made by: the Greeks the Chinese the Mayans Events made between 1500 and 1950 – Group 2 Find 5-10 significant events in understanding outer space made by persons or peoples after the invention of the telescope, but before rockets transported anything into space. You must include contributions made by: Copernicus Kepler Galileo Events between 1950-1980 (Satellites and Probes) – Group 3 Find 5-10 significant events in understanding outer space made by probes and satellites transported into space by rockets between 1950 and 1980.
