AstronomyThe scientific study of the universe and the objects in it, including stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Astronomy deals with the position, size, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial objects. Astronomers analyze not only visible light but also radio waves, x-rays, and other ranges of radiation that come from sources outside the Earth's atmosphere.

Chapter 3. Follow the instructions and complete the questions. On a sheet of paper...Write the question, then perform the activity and then answer the question. See the intro information below to help guide you in the activities.
Your mission: to determine how fast to fire a rocket so that it escapes the gravity of its planet. Your tool: the displayed escape velocity calculation (based on Newtonian physics). Your options: choose one of four planets in our Solar System, or make up a new one with radius and mass you choose. Then set an initial velocity and FIRE!
Answer-
Does it matter whether you point the rocket horizontal or vertical? What will the rocket's path look like at different velocities? Find out with this Interactive.
This Interactive is as much a game as it is an educational experience: you could call it the Isaac Newton Universal Gravitation Challenge. Place yourself on the Sun, the Moon, or any of the planets, and fire a cannonball with such precision that its trajectory lands it on a target. You're trying to balance the force of gravity, which depends on the size and mass of the world on which you stand (or hover, for worlds with no solid surface). Now, choose your world, feel the force, and fire!
Summarize the interactive exercises and concepts.
Answer-
Do all bodies orbiting at Earth's distance from the Sun move at the same speed? How would Earth's orbital velocity differ if the Sun were more or less massive? Is Earth's velocity greater or smaller than Mars? This Interactive will answer those questions, and make it clear that the orbital velocity of any world depends on only two things: its distance from its star, and the mass of that star.

Create a slide show for the following unit. (Cosmic Landscape page 1-11)
Include an introduction and three or more slides {one slide can be a picture} for each....:
the Earth; the Moon; the Planets; the Sun; The Solar System; Units of measurement AU and LY; give the AU and LY; for the objects in our cosmic landscape; The Milky Way; The Galaxy Cluster and the Universe; Forces and matter; The still unknown universe and a summary.
You should include in your introduction to what systems, in increasing order of size, the Earth belongs to. Remember you are doing a general presentation over the sub topics, use the book as a guide.

Due:
Assignment
page 13 project (your group design a plan and scale...)
Scale Models: Make scale models of the Solar System and the Local Group. Use the information given in table P.1 and/or the appendix tables to determine the sizes and separations of the objects in each. To make the model, you need to establish a scale. For example, the Sun is about 10 billion (1010) times larger than a 5-inch-diameter grapefruit. If you use a grapefruit to represent the Sun, you will need to find other objects to represent each planet that are smaller by the same factor, and then separate them by distances 10 billion times smaller as well. This might require an athletic field. For the Local Group you could use frisbees and coins to represent the galaxies. You might make a video of the project to share with students in a local elementary school or invite them to watch you set up the model.
