COMPONENETS OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM THAT

AACCOMMODATE LIFE

OBJECTIVE

Date: October 30-31, 2014Topic(s): Components needed for survival in the Solar SystemObjective:TSW: Interact with an animation to manipulate features that make

Earth habitable and predict results of manipulations.Write to describe effects of changing features that make

Earth habitable.Make a list of biologic requirements for life based on cause

and effect relationships in simulation.

OBJECTIVE

Date: November 10, 2014Topic(s): Components needed for survival in the Solar SystemObjective:TSW:Complete the Manned Space Exploration Research Activity

and Presentation in which they will work in cooperative groups to research how accommodations are made to enable manned space exploration, and speak using academic vocabulary to describe how accommodations are made that enable manned space exploration

Manned Space ExplorationEach group will research a feature that has enabled space exploration and prepare a report/presentation to share with the class.

Web links for research project:Breathing Easy on the Space StationWater on the Space StationShielding from RadiationMixed-Up in Space (Gravity)Far Out Housekeeping (Food, waste)

QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED:1.HOW are astronauts able to breathe in

space?2.HOW are astronauts able to access/use

water?3.HOW are astronauts able to be protected

from radiation?4.HOW are astronauts able to accommodate

for the lack of gravity?5.WHAT and HOW do astronauts eat and get

rid of waste?6.JUST SOME FUN/INTERESTING

YOUR PRESENTATION MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:1.Title /Introduction2.A minimum of 1 slide/section per topic3.Conclusion
