| Program Description |
Space and the Solar System examines some of the concepts behind Space using five group explorations: Up and Down, Balancing Act, Blast Off! Balloon Rocket, Order an Orbit, and SuperAbsorbents. ·Up and Down explores what gravity is, its relationship to weight, and the difference between mass and weight. ·Balancing Act focuses on each individuals center of gravity or center of mass. The exploration demonstrates how balance works. ·Blast Off! Is a fun demonstration of basic rocketry and Newtons Third Law of Motion. Balloon Rocket: This experiment demonstrates of how Newtons Third Law of Motion enables a space craft to travel in an environment without an atmosphere. Order an Orbit: Demonstrates as the distance from the Sun increases, the gravitational pull from the Sun decreases affecting the orbit of the planet. ·Super absorbents: Students will learn about polymers and how they are used in space exploration. |
|
| Program Format |
Program begins with a welcome and introduction by LEARNnco presenter. Program topic will be introduced either by a question or activity As we introduce new concepts, hands on experiments will be performed by the students for each new concept. Time will be allowed after conclusion of the program for questions from students. |
|
| Objectives |
Students will -define space vocabulary. -explore how gravity works. -engage in a discussion about the formation of the universe. -demonstrate the benefits of space research. -develop an appreciation of some of the history behind space travel. |

Observe and describe how the moon appears a little different every day but looks nearly the same again about every four weeks. A. Observe constant and changing patterns of objects in the day and night sky. 05 Earth and Space Sciences 05.Earth and Space Sciences.01. Describe how night and day are caused by Earth's rotation. A. Explain the characteristics, cycles and patterns involving Earth and its place in the solar system. 05 Earth and Space Sciences 05.Earth and Space Sciences.02. Explain that earth is one of several planets to orbit the sun, and that the moon orbits earth. A. Explain the characteristics, cycles and patterns involving Earth and its place in the solar system. 05 Earth and Space Sciences 05.Earth and Space Sciences.04. Explain that stars are like the sun, some being smaller and some larger, but so far away that they look like points of light. A. Explain the characteristics, cycles and patterns involving Earth and its place in the solar system. 08 Earth and Space Sciences 08.Earth and Space Sciences.01. Describe how objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motions that explain such phenomena as days, years, seasons, eclipses, tides and moon cycles. A. Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events. 08 Earth and Space Sciences 08.Earth and Space Sciences.02. Explain that the gravitational force is the dominant force determining motions in the solar system and in particular keeps the planets in orbit around the sun. A. Describe how the positions and motions of the objects in the universe cause predictable and cyclic events. 08 Earth and Space Sciences 08.Earth and Space Sciences.05. Explain that the universe consists of billions of galaxies that are classified by shape. B. Explain that the universe is composed of vast amounts of matter, most of which is at incomprehensible distances and held together by gravitational force. Describe how the universe is studied by the use of equipment such as telescopes, probes, satellites and spacecraft. 08 Earth and Space Sciences 08.Earth and Space Sciences.06. Explain interstellar distances are measured in light years; e.g., the nearest star is 4.3 light years away. B. Explain that the universe is composed of vast amounts of matter, most of which is at incomprehensible distances and held together by gravitational force. Describe how the universe is studied by the use of equipment such as telescopes, probes, satellites and spacecraft. 08 Earth and Space Sciences 08.Earth and Space Sciences.08.

Describe the current scientific evidence that supports the theory of the explosive expansion of the universe, the Big Bang, over 10 billion years ago. A. Explain how evidence from stars and other celestial objects provide information about the processes that cause changes in the composition and scale of the physical universe. 09 Earth and Space Sciences 09.Earth and Space Sciences.03. Explain that gravitational forces govern the characteristics and movement patterns of the planets, comets and asteroids in the solar system. C. Explain the 4.5 billion-year-history of Earth and the 4 billion-year-history of life on Earth based on observable scientific evidence in the geologic record. 10 Earth and Space Sciences 10.Earth and Space Sciences.07. Describe advances and issues in Earth and space science that have important long-lasting effects on science and society; e.g., geologic time scales, global warming, depletion of resources, exponential population growth. F. Summarize the historical development of scientific theories and ideas, and describe emerging issues in the study of Earth and space sciences. |
