Shut down your computer properly Put it back in the LSU (in the spot on the sticker) Open your Earth Science text book to page F-64 Read through the lab Wait silently for everyone to finish.

Daily Question: Why is a year days on Earth? Materials: Agenda Pencil Notebook/Folder Daily Objective: Today we will continue analyzing a day/year living on another planet. Agenda : Bell work Activity 84- Planets in Motion Thank you for not chewing gum or anything else

I think this is a picture of… because…

Massive Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 2841 It is one of the more massive galaxies known. A mere 46 million light- years distant, spiral galaxy NGC 2841 can be found in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. This sharp view of the gorgeous island universe shows off a striking yellow nucleus and galactic disk. Dust lanes, small, pink star-forming regions, and young blue star clusters are embedded in the patchy, tightly wound spiral arms. In contrast, many other spirals exhibit grand, sweeping arms with large star-forming regions. NGC 2841 has a diameter of over 150,000 light-years, even larger thanour own Milky Way and captured by this composite image merging exposures from the orbiting 2.4-meter Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based 8.2-meter Subaru Telescope. X-ray images suggest that resulting winds and stellar explosions create plumes of hot gas extending into a halo around NGC 2841.Ursa Majorisland universewoundspiralIn contrastNGC 2841our ownthis composite imageHubble Space TelescopeSubaru TelescopeX-ray imagesNGC 2841

Planet Project 4 Your presentation is very through with user-created pictures & diagrams to show us what life on your planet is like. You are extremely confident in your presentation and it seems like you came from that planet 3 Your presentation includes the following:  Day length in hours  Average number of daytime and night time hours  Year length in Earth Days  Year length in the planet’s day ( Divide its revolution period by its rotation period)  Does it have seasons? What are they like?  Does it have tides? What are they like?  What is it like to live on your planet:  School  Work  Celebrations  Sleep patterns  Seasons  Months  Temperature Patterns  You have included at least one chart/graph  You have several pictures of your planet Presentation:  Your PowerPoint is neat and organized/free of convention errors  You keep eye contact w/ subtle use of note cards  You speak in a level 3 voice

Problem statement: What would “life” be like on another planet? Directions for Today: 1. Read procedure 1 and 2. Become familiar with your group’s planet. 2. Complete procedure 3 in your science notebook with your group. 3. Complete procedure 4 in your science notebook.

 Procedure 3: in your science notebook Record the following data about your planet in your science notebook  Day length ( complete day-night cycle) in hours (multiply days by 24)  Average number of daytime and night time hours  Year length in Earth Days  Year length in the planet’s day ( Divide its revolution period by its rotation period and then subtract 1)  Does it have seasons? What are they like?  Does it have tides? What are they like? APPLY THE ABOVE INFORMATION!  What is it like to live on your planet:  School  Work  Celebrations  Sleep patterns  Seasons
