Open up your laptops, go to MrHyatt.rocks, and do today’s bellwork Scale Scale Description 4 Through independent work beyond what was taught in class, you could: investigate the location of seasonal constellations in the local sky. predict location of constellations at future times. determine the celestial equator, latitude and position of the Pole Star for a given position on the Earth. determine the distances of stars in a given constellation to each other and to Earth. 3 You will be able to: describe and apply the coordinate system used to locate objects in the sky. distinguish the various methods of measuring astronomical distances and apply each in appropriate situations. 2 determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other astronomy specific words and phrases as they are used in context to relevant topics label diagrams with degree measurements describe how or why different units of measurement are needed for distances in space 1 You will be able to list the different units of measurement needed to measure distances in space
Due at midnight! Upload a photo to canvas If you were gone Friday, it is your responsibility to go to the website and to figure out what this is.
TEST Wednesday Over the Scientific Method/math skills
Start on a new page in your science journal: The Celestial Sphere Today’s question: How can we measure distances and direction in the sky?
There is no way around it, you need to learn some new Word investigation
This should go into your science journal. You can make it bigger More spread out More than one page A different order A different layout You just need each word with 2 places for information
Go to this week’s page on MrHyatt.rocks Play around with the interactives to figure these words out Every single one of these words is on one of these interactive models. It is your job to play around until you think you know what the word means.
Quizlet Link on Canvas for extra help when you are done There will be a vocab quiz. :) The quiz will be your grade for this work
