1. 4. Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught.
3. Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations.
2. Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary.
1. Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level.
Understand how our view of the solar system has changed over time and how discoveries made have led to our changing our view of the solar system.
Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons, size, composition, type of atmosphere, gravity, temperature and surface features.
Understand the movement of planetary bodies.
Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds.
Understand how proximity to the sun influences planets.
Understand the methods and tools scientists use to learn about other planets and moons in our solar system.
Understand the conditions needed for a habitable world and determine if there are habitable worlds in our solar system or outside the solar system.
Understand how we look for and study solar systems other than our own.

2. Bell Work 1-6-16 What planet (other than Earth) have we explored the most? Why do you think that is?
This bar timer, will start when anywhere on the slide is clicked. The bar will move from left to right and the word ‘End’ will appear at the end, accompanied by a ‘Deep Gong’ sound. It is possible to change the duration of this timer to any time, by entering the animation settings, and changing the timing for ‘rectangle 3’. Note the time has to be entered as a number of seconds – so if you want 2mins & 30secs – this is entered as 150 (60X = 150).

12. Sum it up… What did you learn about different types of space missions?
What are the benefits and limitations of the different types of missions?
Do you think it’s important for us to continue to explore the solar system? Why or why not?
