3 UNIVERSE CYCLE - UNIVERSE (4) PRE LAB 1. See if you can find the constellations on the picture below, on the Constellation placemat. 2. An association or group of stars is called a constellation. Why do you think ancient people created constellations? _ 3. Find out the date of each zodiac sign by asking your classmates what their signs are. Match this with their birthdays. Record the information below. Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
4 UNIVERSE CYCLE - UNIVERSE (4) LAB PROBLEM: How are galaxies classified? PREDICTION: PROCEDURE: Part I. Answer the following questions: 1. Galaxies are a group of. 2. The galaxies stay together because. 3. Galaxies are part of the. Part II. Label the following diagram using the terms stars, arms, dust, and nucleus Part III. On the following pages there are actual pictures of different galaxies. Group the pictures using the classification explained by your teacher. Cut the pictures out, paste them into their groupings, and label them. In the space below, draw and/or describe the characteristics of each group. galaxy ellipsoidal galaxy list the pictures that belong in group; sketch a general picture of the group spiral galaxy- barred spiral galaxy - normal irregular galaxy Do you see any relationship between the shape of the galaxies and how they may have evolved? Look closely at the shapes. Look on a celestial globe. How can you identify a galaxy from a star? _ CONCLUSION: Do all the pictures of galaxies fit into defined groups or do you think the classification of galaxies is nebula (not clear)!

8 UNIVERSE CYCLE - SOLAR SYSTEM (4) PRE LAB MEASURING RELATIVE DISTANCE OF THE PLANETS FROM THE SUN 1. The planets are millions of miles from the Sun. It would be impossible to make a real model of these distances. Instead, you will make a relative scale model. The model will use much smaller distances than in the real Solar System, but the spacing of the planets from the Sun will be the same. For example, Saturn will still be about twice as far from the Sun as Jupiter. The table below shows information on how far the planets are from the Sun. Can you figure out what relative scale to use to make your model fit on one or two pages? Write the scale that you want to use in the space below. 2. The scale used is cm for every km. Planet Distance from the Sun Your Scale MERCURY VENUS EARTH MARS JUPITER SATURN URANUS NEPTUNE PLUTO x 10 9 km x 10 9 km x 10 9 km x 10 9 km x 10 9 km x 10 9 km 2.87 x 10 9 km x 10 9 km 5.9 x 10 9 km 3. Use two sheets of paper, or the back of this paper to draw your relative scale. The Sun will be at 0. Make a mark where each planet occurs, and label it. Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
9 UNIVERSE CYCLE - SOLAR SYSTEM (4) LAB PROBLEM: How do craters form on the surface of a planets or moon? PREDICTION: EXERCISE 1: MATERIALS: pan, flour, spoon, measuring stick PROCEDURE: Put flour in a pan, making a layer 4 to 5 centimeters deep. Level the top of the flour layer. Take your pan outside, or if you work inside, put the pan on top of a sheet of newspaper. Stand on a sturdy chair, so your hand can be about 1 meter above the pan. Drop a leveled spoonful of flour into the pan. You and your partners should do one "drop" each. Look at the flour in the pan. Describe and draw the crater that you have created. Describe the shape and size of the crater you have created. Draw the crater you made in the box below. EXERCISE II: MATERIALS: 4 photographs of the Moon, magnifying glass PROCEDURE: Look at the photos of Moon with the magnifying glass. Please be careful, these are the actual photos, and difficult to replace. In the space below, record the types of features you see; the number of craters in each picture, and if the crater resembles your flour craters. State if you think the crater is an impact crater or a mare. PHOTO NUMBER # OF CRATERS DESCRIBE THE LANDSCAPE MARE OR IMPACT CONCLUSION: Is it difficult to determine the nature of craters? Explain your answer. Math/Science Nucleus 1990,

11 UNIVERSE CYCLE - EARTH (4) PRE LAB 1. In the space below, draw the movement of a sand particle by saltation. 2. Draw a sand dune in the space below. Show the direction the wind blows, and crossbeds. 3. If the wind is not blowing, could sand dunes form? Explain your answer. _ 4. Can sand dunes form on the Moon? Explain your answer. _ Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
12 UNIVERSE CYCLE - EARTH (4) LAB PROBLEM: How do the Earth and Moon move in space? PREDICTION PROCEDURE: Go to the 4 stations and complete the following experiments. STATION A: MATERIALS - stretchy substance, revolving styrofoam ball. 1. Experiment with the revolving styrofoam ball. When can you get an elliptical orbit to form? 2. When can you get a circular orbit to form? 3 What type of orbit does the Moon have around the Earth? Why? 4. What force keeps the Moon and Earth together? STATION B: MATERIALS - plain styrofoam ball, styrofoam ball with pin 5. Try to roll the plain styrofoam ball. Now try to roll the ball with the pin in it. Draw the path of each below. Why does this happen? styrofoam ball styrofoam ball with pin STATION C: MATERIALS - 2 styrofoam balls with handles 6. Which one of these models represents the Moon? 7. Which model represents the Earth? 8. Revolve the Moon ball around the Earth ball while rotating both of them. Have your teacher watch your movements. Have them initial that you have done the revolution and rotation correctly. STATION D. MATERIALS - Planetarium 9. After what your instructor has taught you about planets and the Earth and the Moon, can you find anything wrong with this model? CONCLUSION: Describe how the Earth and Moon move in space with regards to the Sun. Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
13 UNIVERSE CYCLE - EARTH (4) POST LAB 1. DRAW WHAT THE EARTH LOOKS LIKE FROM THE MOON. DRAW A SCENE ON THE EARTH. 2. DRAW WHAT THE MOON LOOKS LIKE FROM THE EARTH. DRAW A SCENE ON THE MOON. Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
14 UNIVERSE CYCLE - GEOGRAPHY (4) LAB PROBLEM: How do you plot and use data on a map? PREDICTION: PROCEDURE: Using the maps and soil samples, answer the questions in the following two exercises. EXERCISE 1: There are many soil types on the Earth. The generalized map of the United States on a following page shows two types of soil pedalfers and pedocal. 1. Define pedalfer, pedocal, and laterite. [Clue: al=aluminum; fe=iron; cal=calcium] pedalfer pedocal laterite 2. Look at the general soil map of the United States. What is the soil type in each of the following areas? NEW YORK CALIFORNIA NORTH CAROLINA ARIZONA EXERCISE 2: MATERIALS: soil samples, magnifying glass 1. Classify each soil sample by color. Call dark soil pedalfers and light soil pedocals. Record the location of each sample, as labeled on the bag. soil location pedocal or pedalfer description 2. Color the pedocal samples blue and the pedalfers red on the detailed map of San Francisco Bay area. CONCLUSION: Do you see a pattern of pedocals and pedalfers on the San Francisco Bay area map? What is the benefit of a more detailed soil map? Explain your answer Math/Science Nucleus 1990,
