  1. Astronomy Week 4

  2. December 2, 2013 • Do Now: • When the moon is full, you can see shadowy places on its surface. Those surfaces are large holes, called craters. • How did the moon get those features? • Why are the craters different sizes?

  3. December 2, 2013 Agenda Objective • Do Now • Earth and Moon Reading Guide • Earth and Moon Reading Guide Quick Check • Earth and Moon - Quiz Thursday • To understand the relationship between the Earth and Earth's moon

  4. Reading Guide Moon – A natural satellite that formed 4.5 billion years ago and rotates with the Earth and revolves around the earth

  5. December 3, 2013 • Do Now: • How is the Moon’s first quarter phase like its third quarter phase? • How much time passes between a full moon and a new moon? • Is the sun on the left or right of this diagram ?

  6. December 3, 2013 Agenda Objective • Do Now • Phases of the Moon • Explain patterns of changes in the appearance of the moon as it orbits Earth

  7. Phases of the Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhokvJZFURg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79M2lSVZiY4

  8. • New Moon – phase when the side facing us is unlit. Moon is not visible in this phase. • Crescent – less than half lit • First/Third Quarter – half of the moon facing us is lit up • Gibbous – more than half, but less than fully lit • Full Moon – fully lit • Waxing – illumination increasing (from New up to Full) • Waning – illumination is decreasing (from Full back down to New)

  9. Label Diagram

  10. Oreo Lunar Phases Create and label all 8 lunar phases using a popsicle stick and 4 Oreos

  11. Reflection How does the Moon’s appearance change? What phase is the Moon in tonight? Which phase will the Moon change to next?

  12. Do Now: Who Is Galileo? Who is Galileo? What did science look like at the time of Galileo in the 1600’s? What important tool did Galileo improve?

  13. December 4, 2013 Agenda Objective • Do Now • Walking in the footsteps of Galileo • Wrap up • Earth and Moon - Quiz tomorrow • Work like an astronomer • Understand and develop the skills of the scientific process

  14. Groups • Count by 6’s • Move groups • Pick colors • 1 person is pink • 1 person is white • 1 person is blue • 1 person is yellow

  34. Developing Questions Work with your team to: • Develop 2-3 scientific questions that you can answer using your own data. • Share your data and questions. • Develop more questions that you may be able to answer using data from other groups.

  35. Developing Explanations Based on Evidence Answer the question assigned to you. • What is your claim? • What is your evidence? • Explain how the evidence supports your claim. Share!

  36. Reflecting on Galileo’s Observations You will now watch a short video about Galileo's observations of the Moons of Jupiter. As you watch the video, think about what Galileo did as a scientist and why he did it.

  37. Reflections on the Video Why did Galileo look at Jupiter? Why did Galileo repeat his observation? What question(s) did Galileo ask? What did Galileo do that helped to answer his question(s)?

  38. Galileo’s Notes

  39. Reflections on the Video What was Galileo’s claim? What was his evidence? What were the implications of his claim? What did Galileo do with his work? How did society react to his work? What made Galileo the first modern scientist?

  40. Optional Slide The next slide can be used instead of slide 16. It shows Night 7 instead of a cloudy night.
