1 REVIEW FOR UNIT TEST - Universe and Its Stars Name Unit Test: Friday, September 15th What to Study/Complete: Review for Unit Test Quizizz Unit Test Practice - Universe and It s Stars (optional study sets) - Quilt (optional resources) - pages (Scientific Process) pages (Unit Resources) - Models/ Manipulative s 1. Compare and contrast rotation and revolution? (definition, diagram, time it takes, causes ) Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to explain the cyclic patterns of lunar phases and eclipses of the sun and moon. 2. Why does the Moon s appearance change throughout the month? 3. Diagram the positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun during a (Label; the sun, earth, moon) Full Moon Phase New Moon Phase First Quarter Phase Third Quarter Phase
2 4. DRAW how the moon looks from Earth when it is at each position in the diagram. (write the name of each phase) SUN Draw the phases in the lunar cycle that happen after the FULL MOON These moon phases are.. (waxing, waning) Full Moon New Moon 6. Draw the phases in the lunar cycle that happen after the NEW MOON These moon phases are.. NEW Moon Full Moon (waxing, waning) 7. Explain why we always see the same side of the moon (from earth) as it orbits us.
3 8. DRAW the position of the earth, moon and sun during a solar eclipse. (label sun, earth, moon) viewed during the who sees on that side of the earth phase of moon how long last? 8. DRAW the position of the earth, moon and sun during a lunar eclipse. (label sun, earth, moon) viewed during the who sees on that side of the earth phase of moon how long last? 9. How many days between each moon phase? (ex: full TO waxing crescent) 10. If you see a full moon today, when would you see the next full moon?
4 Develop and use model of Earth-sun system to explain the cyclical pattern of seasons, which includes the Earth s tilt and directional angle of sunlight on different areas of Earth across the year. 14. What is the reason for seasons? What would happen if the earth were not tilted? 15. Identify season in the N.Hem & S.Hem based on the position AND tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. hrs daylight/darkness: N.Hem pointed season in N.Hem direct sunlight over hrs daylight/ darkness: N.Hem pointed season in N.Hem hrs daylight/ darkness: N.Hem pointed season in N.Hem direct sunlight over hrs daylight/darkness: N.Hem pointed season in N.Hem direct sunlight over 16. For each season.. Hours of daylight/darkness 12 hrs day/12 hrs dark, longer day/shorter night shorter day/longer night N.lHem pointed.. toward sun, away from sun, neither toward/away from sun sun directly over.. equator, N.Hem, S.Hem season in N.Hem.. summer, winter, spring, fall
5 17. The sun s position in the sky at noon is different from season to season - high or low in sky. For each picture below, identify a) the season being represented in the Northern Hemisphere (Summer OR Winter) b) the evidence from the picture that helped you answer this Season in N.Hem = Season in N.Hem = Evidence from diagram: Evidence from diagram: 18. The seasons in the N. Hemisphere are the seasons in the S. Hemisphere. (same, opposite) Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. 19. What causes the earth to move through space? 20. What causes the moon to orbit the Earth? 21. What are two factors determine the strength of gravitational force? 22. Use the two factors above to explain why.. a) the Earth orbits the sun rather than any other body in the solar system. b) the Moon orbits the Earth rather than orbiting the sun
6 SCIENTIFIC PROCESS - importance of Variables 23. Identify IV, DV, Constants from an experiment. IV: the factor that is d in an experiment DV: the factor that is being m (the data, you are collecting) Constants (C) - all the factors that are kept the s in each testing group 24. Why is it important to have all the factors in an experiment the same (constants) EXCEPT for 1? Tracy carried out an experiment using the apparatus on the right. She recorded the time taken for the car to travel from A to B. Based on the data collected in the table, identify the variables. B A First Experiment Second Experiment Length of ramp Distance between A and B Angle of Ramp Surface of Ramp Plastic Wood Mass of Car Time recorded Constant, IV, DV An experiment is set up to find out which material of the spoon will allow heat to travel through the fastest. The same amount of water is poured into two beakers. Both beakers are the same size and material. A metal spoon is put into beaker A while a plastic spoon is pout into beaker B. metal spoon plastic spoon Identify the IV, DV and constants (2) in this experiment. water size of the beaker material of spoon amount of water in beaker time for heat to travel through spoon
