Introduction
to Planetary Science
TSWBAT
1.
Draw a map of the rooms of their
house in their Science journal to show a representation and describe where
they are
2. Take notes:
Planetary Science Notes 1-8
3. Establish
location in terms of frame of reference to better understand the
vastness of space and describe where we live

Views
TSWBAT
1.
View "The Powers of 10" to understand how the resolution of objects
changes as the distance increases from 10m to beyond the Milky Way Galaxy
2. Explain
location from different points of view, using specific frames of reference
3.

Round/ Flat Earth
TSWBAT
1. Use models and
simulations to observe sailing ships on round and flat Earths as a means of
comparison
2.
In the science journals
explain how the apparent disappearance
of ships over the horizon is evidence of a round Earth
1. Read: Planetary Science Resources Book p. 47-51 Accidental Discovery of
America to understand the differences between the theories of a flat Earth or
round Earth

Latitude & Longitude
TSWBAT
1. Take
notes on latitude and longitude to
understand the directions on the globe
2. Find the latitude and
longitude of several locations around the world
3. Understand that 0 degrees is the
starting point (Prime Meridian- Greenwich, England) & 180 degrees is the
International Date Line and degrees increase as you move away from the equator
and are measured every 15 degrees
