Minds On Unit Introduction:

Powerpoint.

It’s 3000 years ago. You look up in the sky and see “celestial bodies”

What do you think these ancient humans thought?

What did they see these objects as? How did they use these objects?

E1.1
evaluate social, environmental, and economic impacts of space observation and exploration
Lots of costs
We get better technology and advances
Space exploration – if you have the money you can go to space! - is this fair? SPACE X and
the privatization of space tourism.

E1.2
evaluate how space observation and exploration technologies contribute to our understanding of
climate change, natural disasters, and other phenomena

E1.3
assess ways in which technological innovations related to space observation and exploration are
applied in various fields, including their contributions to sustainable practices on Earth

😊 describe the importance of the Sun and its characteristics, including its role in the solar
system and in sustaining life on Earth

E2.2
😊 explain how the Sun’s energy causes natural phenomena on Earth, and how these phenomena
contribute to renewable energy production

The sun is the closest star to our


Earth.
Small star
Young small star
Why is it yellow?

It is vital to the existence of life on


our plant:
- The sun provides radiant
energy that warms the Earth’s
surface to a reasonable
temperature range.
- it allows plants to produce their own food through photosynthesis, which in
turn provides food for animals and humans.
The Sun is not a solid. Like the Earth the Sun also has several layers. Because it is a
gas it is dynamic.

Heat
Greenhouse effect.

Recall what is needed for photosynthesis to take place. Life on earth has evolved to use the
energy of the sun.

How else do we as humans harness the power of the sun?


E2.3
summarize observational evidence used to support theories about the origin and evolution of the
universe and the solar system, considering diverse ways of knowing

More videos??

E2.4
describe major components of the solar system and the universe and compare their
characteristics
stars, planets, moons, asteroids, commits, meteoroids, meteors, meteorites, nebulas, black
holes, shapes of galaxies, nebulas,

E2.5
quantify distances in the solar system and the universe by applying an understanding of relative
distances and sizes and using appropriate units of measure

AUs
Relative sizes and distances activity

E2.6
conduct investigations to explain the causes of various astronomical phenomena that can be
observed from Earth
