Week of: October 8, 2011 – October 12, 2012 Aim & Objectives: Monday: Review for Chapter 5 Test Performance Objectives: Students will be able to: Recall information learned in Chapter 5. Instructional Strategies, Activities, Labs and Process Skills The students will be placed in teams to go over the different topics that are going to be on the test tomorrow. Homework: Study for the test tomorrow. Applicable CPI 5.2.6.C.1 Predict the path of reflected or refracted light using reflecting and refracting telescopes as examples. 5.2.6.C.2 Describe how prisms can be used to demonstrate that visible light from the sun is made of different colors. 5.4.6.A.1 Generate and analyze evidence (through simulations) that the Sun’s apparent motion across the sky changes over the course of a year. 5.4.6.A.2 Construct and evaluate models demonstrating the rotation of Earth on its axis and the orbit of Earth around the Sun. Resources, Materials, Web Sites: Text pages C4-C27 Tuesday: Chapter 5 Test Performance Objectives: Students will be able to: Recall information learned in Chapter 5.

Text pages C4-C27 Wednesday: What are the other objects in the solar system? Warm Up: What is the difference between an asteroid and meteoroid? Performance Objectives: Students will be able to: Define asteroid, meteoroid, meteorite, meteor, and comet Compare and contrast asteroids and meteoroids Compare and contrast meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites Explore the theory of the origin of the asteroid belt. Label where the asteroid belt is in the solar system. Compare and contrast comets from other space objects Explore the different comets that have passed Earth and continue to pass Earth Discuss the orbit of a comet Label the parts of a comet and what they are made of Explore the origin of the comets. PowerPoint and notes defining, explaining, and showing illustrations of asteroids, meteoroids, meteors, meteorites, and comets. Theories on the origin of the asteroid belt and what asteroids have done to Earth in the past. Google map of where craters from past asteroids are found on Earth. Examples of famous comets and how they were discovered. Draw and label a comet for the students’ notebooks. Draw and label a comet for the students’ notebooks. Homework: Think and Write question sheet: Questions: What is an asteroid? C55 How do Meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites differ? C65 What is a Comet? Worksheet (reading in Science resources page 150) 5.4.6.A.4. Compare and contrast the major physical characteristics (including size and scale) of solar system objects using evidence in the form of data tables and photographs. 5.4.6.A.3. predict what would happen to an orbiting object if gravity were increased, decreased, or taken away. Text pages C54 and C64-C66 Meteor craters on Earth found at google map: http://geology.com/meteor-impactcraters.shtml Thursday: How did the planets form? Warm Up: What are the 8 planets of our solar system? Performance Objectives: Students will be able to: Explore the beginning of planets. Discuss why the planets have different characteristics based on where they are located in the solar system Explore the possibility of other planets like Earth existing. United streaming video on extreme planets. In this episode of How the Universe Works scientists discuss how planets are created. Then astronomers explore the planets of our solar system by grouping the planets into two categories: rocky planets and gas giants. Astronomers and scientists also explore the possibility of other planets like Earth existing in the universe Homework: No homework 5.4.6.A.4. Compare and contrast the major physical characteristics (including size and scale) of solar system objects using evidence in the form of data tables and photographs.

Performance Objectives: Students will be able to: Research information on a planet using reference books and websites. Put the researched information into a brochure project to be presented to class. The students will each be given a planet to research and find facts and pictures on. They will find information including: Size, mass, volume, weather, surface features, length of rotation and revolution, and average temperatures. While finding information, the students will fill out their research page. Once all of the information is found, they will put it all together in a brochure to present to the class. Homework: Continue to work on finding information for your planet. 5.4.6.A.4. Compare and contrast the major physical characteristics (including size and scale) of solar system objects using evidence in the form of data tables and photographs. 5.4.6.A.3. predict what would happen to an orbiting object if gravity were increased, decreased, or taken away.
