  1. We are learning to: Describe the effect that asteroids or meteoroids have when traveling through space and entering planetary atmospheres. We are looking for: • Asteroids are large rocky objects that orbit the sun. If they hit the Earth the impact could be catastrophic. • Meteorites are small rocky objects hit the Earth all the time and do not cause much damage. • A rock changes its classification based on its location: Meteoroid – rock located in outer space Meteor – rock burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere (Shooting Star/Meteor Shower) Meteorite – rock that hits the ground

  2. An icy object that has an elongated orbit around the sun is referred to as a(n)…. • Asteroid • Comet • Meteor • Meteorite • I don’t know!

  3. The flash of light produced when a meteoroid passes through the Earth’s atmosphere is a(n) • Asteroid • Comet • Meteor • Meteorite • I don’t know!

  4. Why does a meteoroid create a streak of light when entering the Earth’s atmosphere? • Light from the sun is reflected off the surface of each • Energy is released from the objects • Lightning is produced from these objects • Light is a result of friction from the gasses in the atmosphere • I don’t know!

  5. Which of the following applies to meteoroids and asteroids. • They are similar in size. • They are rocky and/or metallic. • They are composed of frozen gases, ice, and dust. • They orbit the sun in highly elliptical patterns. • I don’t know!

  6. Which of the following objects would cause the most damage if it hit the Earth? • Asteroid • Meteoroid • Meteorite • Meteor • I don’t know!

  7. We are learning to: identify and describe telescopes, probes, satellites, and space craftsWe are looking for:telescope- refracting, reflecting, and radio are used to view distant objectsprobe-machines sent to other locations in the solar system and are used to investigate/explore satellite-orbits around the earth or other planets and are used to take photos and collect dataspace craft-mode of transportation to send humans to locations in the solar system;

  8. We are learning to: examine advances of different people, culture, and times in astronomy. We are looking for: examples of how telescopes have changed and been improved over time and their impact on science and technology .

  9. Which type of telescope focuses light using a mirror? • Reflecting Telescope • Refracting Telescope • Radio Telescope • Infrared Telescope • I need help!

  10. One of the greatest advancements in astronomy was the telescope. Which is the correct order of advancements? • Radio- refracting-reflecting • Reflecting – refracting –radio • Refracting-reflecting-radio • Radio- reflecting-refracting • I need help!

  11. Which type of telescope focuses light through transparent lenses? • Reflecting Telescope • Refracting Telescope • Radio Telescope • Infrared Telescope • I need Help!

  12. Which of the following is an advantage of a space-based, satellite telescope like Hubble? • Satellite telescopes are much closer to the stars. • Satellite telescopes are able to see through solid objects. • Satellite telescopes can detect wavelengths that are blocked by the atmosphere. • Satellite telescopes have the ability to see the future. • I need help!

  13. We are learning to: explain interstellar distances are measured in light yearsWe are looking for: the explanation of and the use of the light year *explain a light year as the distance light travels in a year*explain that distances are too great to be measured in miles or kilometers

  14. A light year is a measurement of… • Distance • Time • Speed • Acceleration • I don’t know! I need help!

  15. Why do astronomers measure interstellar distances in light years instead of kilometers or miles? • Light years are a measure of time. • Miles and kilometers are too small of a unit. • Miles and kilometers are too large of a unit. • I don’t know! I need help!

  16. You are viewing a star that is 20 light years away. When was the light from this star produced? • Before you were born • After you were born • 10 years ago • 2 years ago • I don’t know! I need help!

  17. What if…. there was a planet in another solar system within our galaxy that could support life. The beings on this planet have a telescope that can observe beings on Earth. If the planet is 10 light years away, who would they see as president? Use the timeline below and provide an explanation to support your answer. 2009-2017 Barack Obama 2021-2025 Katy Perry 1993-2001 Bill Clinton 1981-1989 RonaldReagan 1989-1993 George H.W. Bush 2001-2009 George W. Bush 2017-2021 Hillary Clinton After answering this question, meet with a partner to compare your responses. Collaborate to make a new paired response to the question.
