3. 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.

4. Moon pp

7.  Even though the moon is our closest celestial neighbor, it is still, on average 385,000 km (240,000mi, 1.3 light seconds) away from us. The moon is still the only other place in the universe that humans have visited.

9.  Data in the rocks:  843 pounds of rock and “soil” was returned to earth  Oldest rocks are 4.47 billion years old  6 successful moon landing missions  Where did the rocks come from? (Not just location)  Interpretations  Origin  Classification (type)

10.  Moon Stations  20 Minutes at each station, Depending on your cooperation and work ethic!  The quicker you go, the less homework you have  We will probably get 1 done today, 2 tomorrow, 2Thursday, and 1 on Friday (SAT on Wednesday)  Each group of desks is a different station (6 total)  There is one station at the computers in the back of the room  It will take 4 pages in your journal  Lots o’ points  If you are absent, come in before or after school

11. We brought what back now?  Fill in attached rock chart using plastic papers (I know these are just pictures…do your best!)  Tape or glue rock chart into your science journal so that it flips up  Under your chart. Quick summary of each type of rock

12. Holy Crap we just crashed on the Moon!!!!  Crash landing…choose your top 5 in order from most important to least(1 to 5).  Make a sketch of the 5 you would take  Give an explanation for each one that you would take, as well as an explanation for each one you wouldn't take. (twelve explanations)

13. Apollo Landing Sites  Tape in the chart so it flips up and you can write underneath it.  Use phones to research Apollo landing sites and fill in the chart.  http://airandspace.si.edu/explore-and-learn/topics/apollo/apollo-program/landing-missions/sites.cfm. http://airandspace.si.edu/explore-and-learn/topics/apollo/apollo-program/landing-missions/sites.cfm  Then answer the questions under your chart.

14. Top 5’s  Read the “Top Ten Scientific Discoveries”  Make your own top 5 list with most important at #1,  give reason for each ranking  Read Plastic Moon Sheets (2 different articles)  Top 5 facts from those 2 articles in order of importance ▪ Give a reason for each ranking

15. Reading, Reading, then More Reading (then writing)  Open your textbook to page 185  Read Section 8.2 and 8.3 (stop when you get to “the surface of mercury”  Write down and answer the concept check.  Read the greenish/tan box on page 190 and 191  3x3 notes: 3 things you knew, 3 things you didn’t know, 3 questions that this greenish/tan box brought up.

16. Finding Evidence – page 26 Copy one of the following statements into your notebook. Find at least 2 pieces of evidence to support your statement using websites on progressbook: moon website, GRAIL website, LRO/LCROSS website Use the computers around the room (use chrome) – I need a citation for each piece of evidence  The moon’s mare are younger than the rest of the moon’s surface.  In the past, the moon has experienced periods of heavy bombardment.  Moon rocks formed in high temperature environments with processes that do not involve water.  The moon was once covered with a magma ocean.

17. Page 1 bottom: Station 2: Holy Crap, we just crashed on the moon  Top 5 in order from most to least important (1 to 5).  Sketch your top 5  Give an explanation for each one that you would take, as well as an explanation for each one you wouldn't take. Page 2 top: Station 3: Apollo Landing Sites.  Use phones to research Apollo landing sites and fill in the chart.  Paste your chart in so it flips up  Then answer the questions under your chart. Page 2 bottom: Station 4: Top 5’s  find your personal Top 5 in Top 10 Apollo article  Give a reason for your ranking  Read the FYI articles and find your personal top 5 facts give reason for ranking Page 3 top: Station 5: Reading, Reading, Reading…Writing  Read 8.2 “Physical Properties” and 8.3 “Lunar Terrain” from pages 185 to 188  then write down and answer the concept check question.  Read the greenish/tan box on page 190 and 191 and create a 3x3  3 things you knew, 3 things you learned, 3 questions you now have Page 3 bottom: Station 6: Finding Evidence…  Write down 1 of the 4 statements into your journal  Peruse the websites from progressbook to find 2 pieces of evidence supporting your statement
