1. What is fusion and how is it a factor for the life on earth?
Open up your laptops, go to MrHyatt.rocks, and do today’s bell work
Questions of the week: What is the sun responsible for in our solar system?
What is fusion and how is it a factor for the life on earth?
Scale
Scale Description 4
Through independent work beyond what was taught in class, I can (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
I can:
identify patterns in the organization and distribution of matter in the universe and the forces that determine them.
explain the physical properties of the Sun and its dynamic nature and connect them to conditions and events on Earth.
identify, analyze, and relate the internal (Earth system) and external (astronomical) conditions that contribute to global climate change.
describe heat as the energy transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation, and explain the connection of heat to change in temperature or states of matter. 2
determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other astronomy specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific technical context relevant to grades 9-12 texts and topics
identify from a list the patterns of distribution of matter in the sun, earth, moon system.
list the physical properties of the sun
describe the key parts of the structure of earth and earth’s atmosphere.
explain ways in which to measure temperature. 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.

2. Sun Quiz on Friday
It wont be nearly as long as the last test.

3. BLACKBODY RADIATION EVERYTHING gives off radiation (light)
The temperature of the object will determine the color (wavelength)
Think of heating up a metal fireplace poker
We can measure the wavelength of that light
We then compare that wavelength to a standard that we have measured in a lab
We use that measurement to determine the temperature of distant objects
Can you think of an object a long way away that we might want to know the temperature of?

5. In simple English
The hotter something is, the higher frequency of light it gives off.
This is known as Wein’s Law
It was the start of quantum physics

7. So we use their color to determine the temperature of way far away things
BUT BE CAREFUL!!
It’s the light it gives off, not the light it is reflecting or absorbing

8. Lets go outside!! Take your seat number.
Please be careful with these – they are expensive!
DO NOT look at the sun with your bare eyes! DUH!

9. Bring your science journal
Draw what you see on the left
Did you see any of the features of the sun that we have learned about?
If you did, what were they?
If you didn’t, why do you think you didn’t?

10. Stop!! Hypothesis Time!
Write this in your science journal on the under your observations
What do you think would happen if the sun disappeared?
Be specific! Give examples or events that you think might happen, don’t just write (it’ll be dark and cold and everything would die)
You can brainstorm with your group
You need at least 5, and you can only use one of these 3

11. Watch the video on EdPuzzle
The link is on Google Classroom

13. Follow-up Circle any of your hypothesis that you got correct
Put a line through any of your hypothesis that was incorrect
Submit your hypotheses by picture through google classroom.
