NOTES: Quiz Tues.

  4. September 22, 2011 Honors Astronomy BENCHMARK: > ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What is the Big Bang Theory? WARM UP: Compare and contrast a globular cluster and an open cluster? AGENDA • Warm Up • Redux Quiz #1 for those absent yesterday, Astro Math Quiz for those absent on Tuesday • Finish Milky Way Drawing – add drawing of parts • Second Unit: Where are we? • (New Drawing due date: 9/23 – if the weather is clear tonight, it will be due tomorrow)
