(3) How does the sun move in space?

(4) How does the earth move in space? How long does it take?

(5) How does the moon move in space? How long does it take?

(6) What is the penumbra? What is the umbra? What do you see if you are in each?

(7) Why is there not a solar eclipse every month?

(8) Why does not everyone on Earth see a total solar eclipse?

(9) Use the graph to answer questions (a)-(d)

(a) What should you title the graph?

(b) How many degrees does the temperature fall?

(c) What would be the time of the total eclipse? EXPLAIN.

(d) Write a C-E-R argument in response to the following question: How does the solar eclipse affect the temperature of the ground?

Lesson 2: I can explain how the steps of the Earth, Sun, and Moon were formed.(10) What is wrong about the following diagram? Explain in complete sentences.

(11) What are the three types of galaxies? How old are they and how do you know?

(12) What is a nebula?

(13) What is nuclear fusion? What kinds of objects in space have nuclear fusion?

(14) What happens to star color, temperature, and size as stars get older?

(15) Compare (find similarities) and contrast (find differences) the life cycle of an average star vs. a massive star.Similarities: Differences:

(16) List the planets in order starting with the one closest to the sun.

(17) Circle the planets above that are gas giants.

(18) Use the picture at right to answer (a) – (c).(a) What would the watermelon represent?

(b) How do the sizes of the rocky planets compare to those of the gas planets

(c) What is one thing that is inaccurate about the size comparison in this model?

(19) List the steps in the formation of the sun.

(20) List the steps in the formation of the earth.

(21) List the steps in the formation of the moon.

(22) Why does the moon have craters?

Lesson 3: I can explain the movement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon based on gravity and inertia.(23) What is inertia?

(24) What is gravity?

(25) True/False._________ Ms. Puricelli has her own gravitational pull.

_________ In space, a smaller planet would attract a larger planet.

_________ On a planet with more gravity than Earth, you could use “the force” to pull objects toward you.

_________ The universe could not exist without gravity.

(26) What was the experimenter testing in this virtual lab?

(27)Planet Mercury Venus Earth MarsMass (x1023) (kg)

3.3 49 60 6.4

Surface gravity (Earth = 1)

0.38 0.91 1.00 0.38

a) Label the x-axis and y-axis and title the graph.

b) Plot the data

c) Are mass and surface gravity directly or inversely proportional? Write a C-E-R argument.

(28) Explain the relationship between gravity and mass using the words directly proportional or inversely proportional.

(29) Explain the relationship between gravity and mass using the words directly proportional or inversely proportional.

(30) We learned that every object with mass has gravity. On earth, why isn’t a small marble pulled by gravity to a large elephant?

(31) Why does the Earth not go crashing into the sun?

(32) What causes orbits in space?

(33)

a) As the distance from the sun increases, the time it takes to orbit ___________________________.b) Are orbit time and distance from sun directly or inversely proportional? Explain in a C-E-R argument.
