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

Time for the HONORS part of this class Thursday and Friday will be a lab This will be due on Sunday at Midnight This covers the coordinate systems that we just learned about Now you get to apply it You will work in groups Each person needs to turn in their own assignment This is hard! This is an Honors class, so you should expect to be challenged It is a college level lab, because this is a college level course If you do all the reading, watch the videos, go through each thing individually, and work together, it’s really actually not that hard If you go right to the answers, you wont be able to do this. I don’t want you to just fill in blanks for a grade, I want you to learn about astronomy. You will start by going to Mrhyatt.rocks and clicking on the link This is going to require brain power!!
