How High Is It?

Rationale

Many students have difficulty conceptualizing distances on Earth and a more difficult time

conceptualizing distances above Earth. In addition, many students may not be able to connect previous

knowledge they have acquired in science to chart, for example, where aircraft travel in comparison to

weather balloons, sounding rockets, or spacecraft.

How High Is It?

• Why are vertical distances more difficult to visualize than linear distances?

• How high is the highest mountain?

• Where do jets fly above Earth? Weather balloons? Sounding rockets? The Space Shuttle?• Where above Earth are the auroras and streaking meteors?• How far does the atmosphere extend above Earth– or where does space begin?

How Much Would You Weigh On TheMoon?

On the Moon, a 100 lb student would weigh how much?

The Moon has a gravitational field that is 1/6 of Earth’s

1 / 6 = 0.16

President John F. Kennedy gave the nation the

goal of landing men on the Moon before the

end of the 1960’s.

"..."...I believe that this nation should I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.him safely to the earth. “ “

Gravitational interaction (tides on the Earth caused by the Moon) transfers kinetic energy from Earth to the Moon, slowing Earth's rotation and raising the Moon's orbit, currently at a rate of 3.8 centimeters

per year.

Bye, Bye, Moon

3.8 centimeters per year
