Recognize that there are enormous distances between objects in space and apply our knowledge of light and space travel to understand this distance.

How I Learned:

Ms. Lang took us outside and showed the students the distances from the sun to neptune. She also showed us the distance between each planet.

What I learned:

There are great distances in between planets, each distance gets longer between the planets as you gp farther out into the solar system. When we finished the project outside I looked from neptune to the sun, and I dont think I could see the sun AT ALL. I also know that we would die traveling the solar system before EVER reaching Neptune.

Recognize that the universe contains many billions of galaxies and that each galaxy contains many billions of stars:

How I learned:

Ms. Lang showed us a video about Space, and the Solar System. In the video the had a segment about how their are other galaxies in the universe, and will we ever discover these galaxies.

What I learned:

We are not the only galaxy, and their could be other human beings living beyond the Milky Way. Their are also millions of stars in each galaxy, and when we look up at night we possibly could be looking at stars from other galaxies besides The Milky Way

Describe and classify specific physical properties of stars: apparent magnitude (brightness), temperature (color), size, and luminosity (absolute brightness).

How I learned:

Ms. Lang assigned all of the students in my class to research the physical properties of stars, and we all researched the topic in class

What I learned:

I learned all of the physical properties of stars. The temeperature, magnitude, size, and luminosity.

Compare and contrast the properties of objects in the Solar System including the Sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions.

How I learned-

My classmates and I were assigned a project. All of us were assigned one specific planet to research.

What I learned-

I learned the gravitational force, distance from sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions of each planet. (From presentations) Even though I understood the details on each topic for every planet, I understood the facts about neptune better because Neptune was the planet I was personally researching.

Create models of solar properties including: rotation, structure of the sun, convection, sunspots, solar flares, and prominences.

How I learned:

Ms. Lang assigned all of the students in my class a project to research the rotation, structure, convection, sunspots, solar flares, and prominineces of the sun.

What I learned:

The definition of each topic researched, and how each topic occures on the sun. For example; the rotation of the sun is 27 days (varies) and their are sunspots on the sun.

Compare various historical models of the Solar System, including geocentric and heliocentric.

How I learned-

I have never heard these terms before in my science class. I had to look up the words on dictionary.com

What i learned-

heliocentric means the center of the sun, and geocentric means the center of earth.

- I know that in the center of the earth there is a core, from there outwards there is inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. I kno that the center of the sun is the core. From there outwards you have the radiation zone, and convection zone.

Explain the impact of objects in space on each other including:

1. the sun on the Earth including seasons and gravitational attraction

2. the moon on the Earth, including phases, tides, and eclipses, and the relative position of each body.

How I learned-

Phases, eclipses, and tides of the moon:

Ms.Lang locked us in a locker room, with the lights off and one light bulb, to show the phases, eclipses, and tides of the moon. I also reviewed some of the facts I learned from FCAT explorer.

The Sun:

FCAT explorer, and an individual project. Ms.Lang has also spoken of this topic in class.

What I learned:

Phase of the moon:

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent.

Eclipse: When the the earth gets between the sun and moon that is a lunar eclipse. When the moon gets between the sun and earth that is a solar eclipse.

Assess how technology is essential to science for such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information.

How I learned-

My classmates and I did a powerpoint about Florida's economy, and we also wrote and essay about what life would be like without technology.

I leanred:

Technology has a great deal to do with our daily lives. For example; without technology we wouldn't have cell phones or ipods. We also would not have achieved our space goals in such quick timing. Like, man on the moon, we achieved that goal quicker then expected, and we neeeded bunches of technology for that task.

Distinguish the hierarchical relationships between planets and other astronomical bodies relative to solar system, galaxy, and universe, including distance, size, and composition.

How I learned: <s.lang explained thistopic when we were going over our essays we wrote.

What I learned:

The planets are grouped from hierarchy, for example sometimes they are ranked by their rings. Sometimes they are also ranked as inner and outer planets.

Explore the law of Universal Gravitation by explaining the role that gravity plays in the formation of planets, stars, and solar system s and in determining their motions.

How I learned- Google, and summarizing facts I learned myslef from multiple websites.

What I learned-

Without gravity we probably wouldn't be a solar system, and we would be floating around. Gravity helps form stars because it draws materials together, needed.
