1 Welcome Astronomy Students Mr. Goodyear
2 Today s Objectives: S.W.B.A.T. Help teacher fill in seating chart with student picture/name and class attendance. Review classroom routines and expectations Complete student information science info. sheet Place proper order of planets from the sun Match planet symbols to planet names Become familiar with Astronomy text Generate science vocabulary from past knowledge to share with classmates
3 Who am I? I went to Indiana University of PA, where I played 2 years of Football and graduated with a degree in Geoscience, Received a Masters degree in Geoscience and Astronomy Education at Salisbury University Been teaching in Wicomico County for 33 years Worked at NASA on the Sub-S.E.M. and S.E.M. helping to place experiments on rockets and Space Shuttle 5 th degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Doe hobbies is metal detecting and fishing
4 Understand basic vocabullary of astronomy Define and understand the three basic measurement scales in astronomy
5 Activity: Students use seating chart place picture and name into proper place on chart. (teacher takes roll) Students will fill out student information sheet handout Write out notes on Planet symbols in proper order from the sun (notes) Video clip observation What is sceince? & Onward to the edge ABC vocabulary group activity Complete textbook exploration for homework
6 What is this?
7 Lets put things in the right order Challenge!!! Using NASA cards Students line up in order based on the card they have!?

25 Science: from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system.
26 Today s Objectives: S.W.B.A.T. Generate science vocabulary from past knowledge to share with classmates Become familiar with textbook features Activity: ABC vocabulary group activity Complete text activity

28 Cosmic scale/distance/scientific notation (power of ten) Universe- the totality of all space, time, matter, and energy (Everything) Astronomy branch of science dedicated to the study of everything in the Universe that lies above Earth s atmosphere. Astrology the study of the apparent influence of celestial objects on the affairs of human life and events.
29 General measurement to know Units of length: Angstrom (Å) =.000,000,000,1 m Nanometer (nm).000,000,001 m Micro/micron (μm) (μg).000,001 m Milli (m).001 m Centi (c).01 m Kilo (k) 1000m
30 All above are too small to measure distance in space Distance between the Earth and sun = 93 million miles 93, 000,000 miles or 150 million km 150,000,000 km
31 Astronomical Unit A.U. average distance between Earth and the Sun. it takes light 8 minutes to travel this distance an A.U. is used to measure distances between objects in the solar system (Kepler s laws)
32 What is the speed of light? 186,000 mps or 300,000 km/s X 365 ( ) x 24 ( ) x 60 ( ) x 60 ( ) = = 6,000,000,000,000 miles or 6 trillion miles = 9.5 trillion km
33 Which is a unit of distance called a light year distance light travels in one year. 2. Light Year the distance that light, moving at a constant speed of 300,000 km/sec. travels in one year.
34 Parsec the distance to an object that exhibits 1 sec. or heliocentric (sun) parallax. 1 parsec = 3.26 l.y. it is based on size of Earth s orbit and angles
35 Parallax the apparent motion of an object due to motion of the observer. Using trigonometry and geometry distance can be calculated. Equation- D(parsecs) = 1/p (parallax angle) D = 1/p p parallax angles are measured in sec. or arc.
36 Angular measurements Circle = 360º 1 degree = 60 arc minutes 60 1 minute = 60 arc seconds 60 Units of mass Ounces, pounds, tons, gram, kilogram
37 Time Seconds (s), Minutes (m), Hour (hr), Day (d), Year (y) More info. use appendix and data chart inside astronomy text
