Travelling

Through Space

Unit 2

This slide deck is intended to help guide you and your

students through the sequence of this unit. While you may

Our Solar System

Lift-Off Task

Now we have telescopes that can take pictures to

help us learn more about the solar system!

As a group, create a concept map that shows:

● Questions your group members had in common (circles)

● Possible answers to some questions (squares)

● Connections between related questions (lines)

Our Solar System

Group Concept Map

Class Concept Map

As a class, create a concept map that shows:

● Key questions (circles)

● Possible answers to some questions (squares)

● Connections between related questions (lines)

● Crosscutting concepts used (trace in color)

Plot a new telescope’s route through space!

Group Project - A planet contribution to a class-wide solar system model and a presentation of your telescope route within the solar system model

Individual Project - A presentation in your choice of format that pitches your telescope route and describes the forces and energy involved (^19)

Background on the New Telescope

● Orbits the Sun, not Earth ● Needs to get to the outside edge of the solar system (see above) ● Must be protected from solar wind
