  1. The Earth in space Marjorie Barnes and Sharon Glasgow EDU 713.22 SPRING 2009

  2. Table of Contents Inquiry unit: 12 THE EARTH IN SPACE

  3. Overview of Unit • This unit adheres to O’Connor-Petruso’s (2003) Model for Implementation: Integrating Mathematics and Technology in the Elementary Science Inquiry Classroom. • We have applied many of the strategies learned throughout this advance pedagogy course such as opening the unit with a holistic web, adding and designing lessons that contained the cognitive levels according to Bloom’s Taxonomy, a series of behavioral objectives with corresponding hands-on activities according to Gardner and their respective assessments.

  4. Holistic Web

  5. TO Infinity and Beyond!Lesson #1 • Generated a KWHL chart. • The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole

  6. Grouping Objects by Engineering and DesignLesson #1 • Conduct research to: • Classify the inner and outer planets. • Explain what dwarf planets are and explain why Pluto is current downsized to fit in this category. • Constructing mobiles -allowing the students to work in groups of twos to build a mobile of the solar system to develop a deeper understand of the position of the Earth and the other planets in comparison to the sun. They will need to create a sun, the inner and outer planets, the asteroid belt, etc.

  7. Happy New Year!The Earth’s Natural cycleLesson #2 • What Makes Night and Day? by Franklyn M. Branely • Motivational activity: Teacher will ask students to engage in a small video clip on the video jug Web site (the Earth’s perfect orbit).http://videos.howstuffworks.com/nasa/3570-earth-has-a-perfect-orbit-video.htm • Research and create a graphic organizer that charts each of the planets natural cycle (revolution) in our solar system.

  8. Graphic Organizer -spreadsheet

  9. Bar Graph • Select one category for the spreadsheet and create a mathematical representation. • Analysis: The closer the planets are to the sun the less days it takes to complete a cycle; any volunteers for Mercury?

  10. Line Graph

  11. Eclipses!Moon, Earth, and Sun InteractionLesson #3 • Motivational activity: Teacher will ask students to engage in a small video clip on how stuff work Web site – Filamentality. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/hsw/10002-the-moon-eclipses-and-conclusion-video.htm • (Scavenger hunt) Students will participate in teams of two. Each team is expected to: • View the video clips and answer questions. • Draw diagrams of the earth’s motion in space. • Create a poem that contains moon, star, or earth. • Produce a writing piece (2-3 Paragraphs) of their experience conducting the scavenger hunt • Give a 5 minutes oral presentation at the completion of the scavenger hunt.

  12. Phases of the MoonLesson #4Pictograph • Complete the lunar challenge (Scavenger hunt). • Teacher monitors the students and present a data that asked the students to work in groups of threes to create a pictograph with the data. • Table:

  13. Ball and Ramp Law of Motion Lesson #5 • Bloom’s Taxonomy: Synthesis & Evaluation

  14. Ball and Ramp Law of Motion Lesson #5 • Bloom’s Taxonomy: Synthesis & Evaluation

  15. Ball and Ramp Laws of Motion Lesson #5 • Analysis: • The surface that was covered with sand paper provided friction and the distance from the edge of the inclined plane was less than that of the wax paper and the foil paper. • The set of angles provided an easier way to compare the results. • The golf ball’s uneven surface also affected its result. • The balls gained momentum when descending the inclined plane but began slowing down then stopped as it moved along the flat surface.

  16. Gravity – Lesson 6 • Motivational activity: Teacher will conduct an interactive read aloud and incorporate a video clip- http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/4867-physics-primal-forces-video.htm

  17. Scavenger Hunt –Moon, Earth, and Sun InteractionLesson #3 • Students will participate in teams of two. Each team is expected to: • Produce a writing piece (2-3 Paragraphs) of their experience conducting the scavenger hunt • View the video clips and attach a comment on the video selection • Create a poem that contains moon, star, or earth • Give a 5 minutes oral presentation at the completion of the scavenger hunt. • Why does the Earth have seasons? Visit http://www.videojug.com/film/why-does-the-earth-have-seasons • Is it a full moon or is it a new moon? Find out at http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/moon/Phases.shtml. Please define and create a drawing to go along with the definition. • Complete the lunar cycle challenge. Visit http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/moon/moon_challenge/moon_challenge.html

  19. "Today, more than ever before, science holds the key to our survival as a planet and our security and prosperity as a nation. It's time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and work to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology.“ -- President Barack Obama
