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 Test on Wednesday
It wont be nearly as long as the last test.

3. Graphing Sunspots Complete graph to determine sunspot cycles.
Set up graph with time on x and sunspots on y
Graph a point at every year
Each group member should graph a different set of data.
Each member of a group of 4 should do ~80 years.
Look at your maximum number and minimum number to determine the scale:
Each graph should have the same scale 1: 2: 3: 4:
2010: 16.5
2011: 56
2012: 57
2013: 65
2014: 79.3
2015: 69.7
2016: 39.8
2017: 21.7

4. Next Steps 1. Label maximums (M) and minimums (m). (on graph)
2. Calculate the average
time between a maximum and a maximum.
3. Calculate the average time between a minimum and a minimum.

5. Answer questions On Canvas
1. What does your graph tell you about the sun?
2. What do your calculations tell you about the sun?
3. Make maximum/minimum predictions for the years 2018, & 2030
4. How many sunspots were there during the year you were born?
5. Predict whether it will be closer to a maximum or a minimum when you graduate college and when you turn 30 years old
6. Because there are more solar flares and CMEs during a solar maximum, how might knowing this information be beneficial and helpful?
7. Look for any periods of time where the maximums do not get that high?  

6. Group member 1: 1700-1780 Group member 2: 1781-1860
2010: 16.5
2011: 56
2012: 57
2013: 65
2014: 79.3
2015: 69.7
2016: 39.8
2017: 21.7
