Open up your laptops, go to MrHyatt.rocks, and do today’s bell work Questions of the week: Why does the moon look different at different times? Scale Scale Description 4 Through independent work beyond what was taught in class, students could (examples include, but are not limited to): research current and past earth and sun conditions. investigate causes and possible solutions for global climate change. compare and contrast the patterns in the organization and distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system. compare and contrast different solar events and their impact on earth. 3 understand how the motions of the sun, stars and planets as observed from Earth relate to the motions of the Earth and other planets in space. understand how the movement and position of Earth influences life on Earth. be able to differentiate between astronomy and astrology. 2 determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other astronomy specific words and phrases relating to the Earth, Sun and Moon illustrate the patterns of distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system. list the physical properties of the Earth, Sun and Moon. describe the key parts of the Earth, Sun and Moon System 1 show the patterns of distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system. select from a list the physical properties of the sun, earth and moon. list the key parts of the structure of earth, sun and moon.

Moon Test If you need to make it up… You have until Wednesday
Before school After school During Lunch You have until Wednesday I know it isn’t fair, but we need to deal with it If you don’t take it, I have to give you a zero
3
Here are your test scores
– you averaged a 60% (48/80)
4
Some examples….
5
Sea of Tranquility 34% of you got this right…
6
Sea of Tranquility 34% of you got this right…
7
The feature in this picture…. 30% of you got this correct
8
I picked the easiest one I could find
I asked you to go and check to make sure you knew what each structure was because you would see it later. Apparently you didn’t
9
This slide was in the power point from the day before we started the stations…
The river-like feature in this photograph is called “rille.” Apollo 15 landed near the rim of this rille (called Hadley Rille) between the two largest mountains. Hadley Rille is 1.5 kilometers wide and 300 meters deep. Rilles are channels in which lava flowed during the eruption of mare basalts. All samples collected from its rim are basalts, proving that flowing water did not form these river-like features. (AS15-M-1135)
10
Which type of rock is breakable
11
5 things we learned about the moon
The moon hit the Earth There is liquid water on the Moon Half the Apollo Missions crashed on the Moon We have never seen the dark side of the Moon The Moon has no gravity The Moon is older than the Earth Some of us just wrote one thing down so they could start playing on their phone. Some of us actually skipped this question so they could start playing on their phone. Awesome job honors students…..
12
You were literally making things up because you didn’t learn anything…
Things I saw during the Moon rotations Playing on phones before, during, and after your work Lots of talking instead of working Missing days and not making them up They were ALL on the website I only spent about 3 hours putting them all on the website for you Getting done as fast as possible so you could play on your phone Taking minutes to do bell work, or to cut something out, or to run to the restroom Doing the absolute minimum that you had to do to technically be “done with your work” Copying off other people instead of doing work yourself
13
For this test.. I went to each station and created at least 2 questions DIRECTLY from the work that you were supposed to complete. This is how I’m going to grade labs going forward The last one, over half of you copied and pasted the day it was due (ie. You didn’t learn anything) Is this everybody? No But you know who you are…. Am I disappointed? Yes Am I keeping track of who is giving effort and who isn’t? Most definitely!
14
One last thing You ruined NASA’s property You cut the pouch
You scratched the moon rocks!!! Somebody also opened the regolith vial and took some out Are you freaking serious! I’m not sure if they will ever let me borrow them for any other classes… Thanks guys…
16
So lets set a few things straight….
17
Formation of the Moon
18
Structure of the Moon The Moon is mostly made up of the same elements that our crust and upper mantle are made of
20
Compare and Contrast Sidereal Day Solar Day (similarity) (difference) (similarity) (difference) Postulate what would result if we used Sidereal days to keep track of time instead of Solar days.
21
Sidereal Day degrees Solar Day. Noon to noon
22
SUN, MOON and EARTH Compared
26
Read them all, but please Write two of them
Facts about the sun: Read them all, but please Write two of them Yellow star, average temperature and medium size 4.6 billion years ago a small clump of gas within a very large cloud of gas collapsed under its own gravitational force which caused it to become hot and dense enough to start nuclear fusion Every second, 700 million tons of hydrogen are being converted into helium, which releases 4X1020 megawatts of energy! If earth were 5% closer to the sun, the oceans would evaporate, 5% farther and all the oceans would freeze.
27
What compound on earth is extremely dependent on our proximity to the sun?
H2O N2
28
Read them all, but please Write two of them
Facts about the Moon: Read them all, but please Write two of them Large dark areas on the moon are called maria (singular: mare) meaning oceans or seas, because early observers thought that’s what they looked like. They are evidence of large impacts which left craters that were then filled in with molten material. The moon is made up of rock and metal like earth, but has a very different density, so this shows the moon and the earth formed at different times. Because of its large size (and large gravitational influence), it is believed the moon has helped to protect earth from past collisions.
29
volcanoes craters people oceans
What did early observers believe they saw on the moon? (but weren’t really there) volcanoes craters people oceans
30
Read them all, but please Write two of them
Facts about the Earth: Read them all, but please Write two of them Has a mostly rocky crust and mantel with a large liquid iron core, which is the source of our magnetic field Only place in the Universe that we know of that definitely has life. Also, one of the only places that we know that has liquid water (you need one for the other) Was created around 4.5 billion years ago, and has undergone many changes since then. It’s plate tectonics, volcanism, changing sea levels and erosion have continually changed the surface of the planet Has an atmosphere made up most of Nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), and very small amounts of other gases
31
volcanoes erosion people oceans tectonic plates
Why does the surface of the Earth look different now than it did millions of years ago? volcanoes erosion people oceans tectonic plates
32
Size of Sun, Earth and Moon
VOLUME 1million earths would fit inside the sun 64million moons would fit inside the sun SIZE 109 earths would be needed to fit across the sun’s disk 400 moons would be needed to fit across the sun’s disk DISTANCE At highway speeds, it would take 142 days to drive to the moon At highway speeds, it would take 150 years to drive to the sun
34
Homework! In your science journal ;)
create profiles for sun, moon and earth (you should already have the moon information). Split your page into thirds…. Name Picture/sketch Size (radius in km and mi) Mass (in kg) Density (in g/cm3) Composition Temperature range 2 other facts
