Today’s agenda…

• You will be using chromebooks to investigate space exploration

• Specifically you will explore galaxies, probes, the International Space Station and the Hubble telescope

• You will be taking notes and watching various video resources to compete a questionnaire

• The other side of the worksheet will be completed for homework

If the slide says….

• Write in notebook = take notes directly into your notebook

• Read = read the information on the slide• Look At = view the information on the slide

Write in Your Notebook

• There are millions of galaxies in the Universe• Each galaxy has its own solar system • We are in the Milky Way galaxy• Earth is about 4.5 Billion years old

(tested rock samples)

Write in Your Notebook

Through Space Exploration we have:a. Landed probes on Mars and Venus and

sent probes past Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus

b. Built an International Space Stationc. Built a Hubble Telescope

Write in Your Notebook

• Space Probes:• Spacecraft that travels and drops into a

planet’s atmosphere• Has no astronauts onboard• Collects scientific information and

sends it back to scientists on Earth

READ: Space Probes over Time

• Sputnik 1: 1st probe to go into space. It was launched on Oct. 4, 1957, by the former Soviet Union.

• Explorer 1: Jan. 31, 1958, the United States sent a probe into space. These first probes studied Earth from space. They also learned what it's like to be in space.

• This was the beginning of the Space Race between the United States and Soviet Union.

LOOK AT: Space Probes over Time

• Sputnik

• Explorer 1

Write in Your Notebook

• International Space Station (Known as ISS)• A combined effort of 15 different

countries• Astronauts live there for months to

conduct research

Read : Interesting ISS Facts

• The size of a football field • Weighs 924,739 pounds. • Has more livable room than a conventional

six-bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, a gymnasium and a 360-degree bay window.

Write in Your Notebook

• Telescopes:• Instruments to collect

electromagnetic (light) radiation • Allows us to see far away objects in

space• 1st telescope invented over 400 years

ago

Read : Hubble Telescope

• Orbits Earth and distant objects within our Solar System and Universe.

Read: Launch of Space Shuttle Discovery

Hubble Space Telescope on boardApril 24, 1990

Write In Your Notebook

• NASA Spinoffs:• Technology developed for NASA and

astronauts BUT now benefits us on Earth!• Microwaves TV Satellite Dishes• Hand held calculators Bar Coding• Ear Thermometers Memory Foam

Stop and Read…

• Before you begin to view the videos on the following slides, you will need to obtain a worksheet from your teacher

• Raise your hand now to obtain your worksheet

• Remember you are answering questions as you view the videos listed in order of each slide

• The back of the worksheet is homework

Watch: Video on Galaxies

• Click on each tab to answer the questions:– International Space Station– What’s outer space like– Life in Space

– Just for fun….take the quiz and see how you do!

Watch: Hubble Telescope Video

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFC403WByiA

Read: Telescope:Fermi-Gamma-ray Space Telescope

-Has unveiled a previously unseen structure centered in the Milky Way that spans 50,000 light years and maybe the remnant of an eruption from a supersized black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Look at: Spitzer Space Telescope

Look at: NASA’s Fleet of “Great Observatories”

1. Chandra X-ray Observatory

Read: Info about Chandra The X-ray Observatory

• Chandra allows scientists from around the world to obtain X-ray images of exotic environments to help understand the structure and evolution of the universe.

Look at: De-orbited Compton Gamma Ray Observatory

Research to find out….write in notebook

• True or False: Astronauts experience muscle atrophy (decrease in muscle mass) while in space

• True or False: Astronauts experience deterioration of bones (bone loss of up to 1%) while in space

• True or False: Astronauts experience cardiovascular system problems such as decreased red blood cell production while in space

• True or False An astronaut’s immune system gets weaker while in space

• True or False: Astronauts commonly experience nasal congestion, sleep disturbance, and excess gas while in space
