26. 11.6.12 Space Edusmart S- Sally wanted to find the density of titanium. She has 18 grams cube of titanium. Her cube takes up 4 cm 3. What is the density? SHOW YOUR WORK!

27. P- according to the TEK what makes Earth unique? (9) Earth and space. The student knows components of our solar system. The student is expected to: (A) analyze the characteristics of objects in our solar system that allow life to exist such as the proximity of the Sun, presence of water, and composition of the atmosphere; and (B) identify the accommodations, considering the characteristics of our solar system, that enabled manned space exploration P

28. P- Edusmart Take your own notes for your quiz! These will guide you: – What are 3 characteristic of earth that allow earth to exist? – Identify as many accommodations as you can, that would have to be made for space exploration.

29. A- interactivity SituationIncreasedecrease If Earth stayed the same size, but its mass increased, its gravitational pull would… If Earth was closer to the sun its temperature would… If the earth’s mass decreased, the amount of atmospheric gasses would… If earth switched places with Neptune, the amount of sunlight would… If earth was closer to the sun, the amount of liquid water would… If the amount of greenhouse gasses on earth increased, earth’s temperature would…

31. 11.07.13 Conditions For Life S: What is the relationship between temperature and proximity to the sun? We will analyze the characteristics of the objects in our solar system that allow life to exist by reading a nonfiction text.

32. P- Brain storm with your partner and list as many components of our solars system as you can

33. P: Read the definition of our solar system and revise and edit your list. A solar system is defined as a sun (central star) with its associated planets, asteroids, meteoroids, moons (satellites), dwarf planets, and comets that are captured in its orbit. These various celestial bodies are trapped in a constant orbit around the Sun by its strong gravitational pull.

34. A: Independently read the nonfiction text “Condition for Life”. Prepare a short summary of important information for each section in your journal. Be prepared to have a class discussion to reflect on each reading.

35. C: Use the chart to identify the accommodations needed for human survival on Mars.

36. E: 1. Does life exist on other planets? 2. What components would contribute the sustaining this life?

37. 11.8.13Accommodations for Space We will identify the accommodations, considering the characteristics of our solar system that enable manned space exploration by doing group work and presenting. TEK 7.9B the student knows components of our solar system S- Sally decides she would like to travel to space, so she begins to research materials to build her space craft out of. She decides she is going to build it out of titanium, a metal, what physical properties will her space craft have?

38. P- Class Popcorn Reading Read article “Living in Space” A- Group activity ( 7 Groups A-G) Each group is assigned an obstacle Find and record obstacle effects on humans and human accommodations for this obstacle using the article “Living in Space” Record in your chart “Accommodations for Space” Be Ready to Present
