 List the planets in order from the sun to Pluto!  SWBAT describe the planets’ distances from the sun.

 1. write your hypothesis about where the planets are in the solar system on the paper I give you  2. write the answers on the other side

 What were you surprised about?  What were you sure about?

 If Pluto is roughly 6 billion miles away from the sun, what would be the scale on our solar system in your pocket if the paper were EXACTLY 1 meter?  Using this scale, how far is Uranus from the Sun IN METERS?

 nBBw nBBw  After you watch, write down how you feel about your size in the universe in your journal

 Hmmm, if our scale is 6,000,000,000 km = 1m, then we need to divide each distance by 6 billion BUT it won’t fit in the cheap calculators!  What to do, what to do???

 Is the way scientists easily handle very large or very small numbers.  6,000,000,000 = 6 * 10⁹  OR = 1.7 * 10⁃⁴

 SWBAT express distances and diameters in scientific notation  3.1 * 10⁴ =   A. 310  B  C  D  E

 Finish sheet  Answer last question on back using complete sentences

 Read through both conclusions with your team.  Using the rubric, decide what grade you would give them and why.  Reread your conclusion on the quiz.  How does it fit the rubric?  Rewrite it to make it amazing!

 The nearest star to Earth, other than the sun, is 44,000,000,000,000 km from the Earth (4 light years away).  What is its distance in scientific notation?  HOMEWORK…  Journal Quiz Friday  REMIND text

 IN Journal, label hypothesis:  1. How old is the earth?  2. How long has life been on Earth?  3. How long have humans been on Earth?

 SCALE = 30 cm = 1 billion years  1cm = 33 million years  Using that scale, arrange the events in the order you think they occur  When you are done, start answering the questions

 Put your events in the order that I discuss  Answer the questions

 Convert the distances from the sun into millimeters.  Convert the diameters into mm.  Answer the questions.

 Why do the planets revolve around the sun?  Why do they not hit the sun or fly off?  HMWK due FRI  JQ FRI  Journals graded FRI

 What is it?  Bill Nye  RDk RDk  pHet

 What happens when you increase the mass of the red ball?  Blue ball?  What happens when you increase the distance between the balls?  What happens when you decrease the distance?  Create a rule that describes the relationship between gravitational force, distance, and mass

 According to the evidence investigated Monday, about how old is Earth?
