“I Can” Study Guide Unit 3-2 1. I can characterize the galaxy in which we live as well as the idea of galaxies in general 2. I can summarize the discovery of galaxies, expansion, and the origin of the universe 3. I can describe how gravity effects matter on large scales and the variables considered 4. I can compare the differences and similarities among stars and interpret HR Diagrams 5. I can explain the important specific information gained through spectroscopy and the Doppler Effect 6. I can elaborate on the significance of the Hubble telescope and the key aspects of telescope use 7. I can estimate the quantities associated with stars and galaxies (size, age, distance, etc..) 8. I can model the grouping of stars and galaxies using proper terminology 9. I can predict the life cycle of stars based on certain criteria while using the correct vocabulary 10. I can explain both the actual and perceived motion of objects in the night sky, and our place within 11. I can find patterns and recall milestones in space exploration and travel 12. I can use scales to compare brightness, luminosity and magnitude 13. I can recognize the major types of galaxies based on shape 14. I can summarize how distances are calculated and how likelihoods are estimated 15. I can appreciate the significance of very large distances, sizes and amounts of time “I Can” Study Guide Unit 3-2 1.
