1 Soaring Through Universe Project Purpose: 1. Students will understand formation of Universe and characteristics of stars contained with in it. 2. Students will demonstrate understanding of measurement concepts pertaining to solar system. 3. Students will be able to compare and contrast within solar system. TEKS Objectives: Astronomy (c) (4a-b) (8a-c) Procedure: Part 1- Lab groups will be assigned to research a specific topic within big picture. In first part of project, we will be researching stars and galaxies. Specific job assignments will be given to each member of team, but each team will be responsible for tying all ir information toger in order to present ir findings to class. A presentation of Part 1 will include each individual's myth and multimedia, which includes a power point Part 2- This portion of project will also include each group researching specific concepts about ir assigned planet. In order to complete this portion, a presentation will be made in relation to solar system and a ir planet will be presented. At end of project a second each planet will be arranged in a manner that allows us to represent a scale model of our solar system. Since planet model will be arranged by scale, it is important for all groups to interact with one anor during your research and development phase. This part will require development of a web page. Presentations will include following information: A. Stars and Galaxies B. The Solar System - Meteoroids, comets, and asteroids - Facts about planet - Formation of Universe - Motion of - Characteristics of stars - Features of - Formation of solar system - Model Each individual's presentation must be multimedia. Depending on portion of project you are working on, one of se forms must be a PowerPoint presentation, your original myth, and/or model. The or medias are each individual's choice. Options for or medias include: video clips, laser disks pictures, slides, books, movies, posters, computer links, and guest speakers. At end of each presentation, be prepared to answer questions.
2 The attached sheets provide a detailed outline of what is expected from each student. Therefore, each job must be completed as assigned. Cooperation within groups and within role teams will be necessary in order to complete project successfully. A grading rubric and expectation sheet is included in each packet; as a result you are in charge of your own learning and grade. You will have (2) weeks to complete each part of this project. The second week will be reserved for presentations and building Solar System. A competition between my classes will be held in order to decide which solar system model will be displayed.
3 DETAILS: Part 1: Stars and Galaxies Writing an original myth: Chose a portion of your research or your entire section, and think about what shape, pattern, or idea it reminds you of. Tell of how your concept came to be what it is today and what it makes you think of, n write a short mythical story to explain it. Make sure to include at least one drawing and write your name on it. It might help you to pretend that you are telling a story to a young child about how your concept became what it is. You can be as fanciful or realistic as you wish. Here is and example of what ancient people believed star groups, called constellations, resembled. They imagined that stars formed pictures of people, animals, or objects. So, y made up stories or myths to go along with se constellations. The Coeur d'alene Indians, who lived in Norrn Idaho, thought pattern of 7 bright stars in norrn sky to resemble a bear. Their myth for this constellation says that once re were three brors who had a grizzly bear for a bror-in-law. The youngest bror liked him but two older brors didn't like him at all. They were all on a hunting trip and two older brors told youngest that y planned to kill bror-in-law. So he crept away to warn him. The brors followed youngest closely. They were just ready to shoot ir arrows when youngest looked back and shouted that bror-in-law was about to be shot. Just as he said it all four were taken into heaven and transformed into stars of bear. We know this constellation as Big Dipper. (Monroe, Jean. They Dance in Sky. Boston: Houghton Mifflin ) Your myth can be as long as you like. But once you have read your myth be ready to explain its meaning. At completion of this project, I will collect all myths and compile m into a book for our classroom. So make sure to type your myth and to add one or more illustrations. Part 2: The Solar System The Data Table- There is an example of data table that is to be completed with your solar system project. I expect you to recreate this table on your computer and include it in your power point Due Date: Last in class workday: Presentations begin: Planet models due:
