Subjects and Grade Levels

•Mathematics •Science –Geometry –Sun Earth Interactions–Measurement –Space Weather –Sun

o Satellites & Spacecrafts

o Grade Levels 7-12



Standards – Science

• Develop a model based on evidence to illustrate the life span of the Sun and the role of nuclear fusion in the Sun’s core to release energy that eventually reaches Earth in the form of radiation

•Crosscutting Concepts – Scale, Proportion and Quantity



Learning Objectives

•Use units of measurement and conversion rules to transform lengths in astronomical units

•Use geometry,

the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines, formulas for R

to determine the distance and angle of a coronal mass ejection



Space Weather Overview

•Refers to the interaction of the Earth with the Sun’s atmosphere

•Working with NASA Data Satellites /Spacecrafts observing Sun

•Features of Space Weather

–Sunspots–Flares–Coronal Mass Ejections



Solar Flare



Coronal Mass Ejection



Van Allen Belts



Sun-Earth Influences
