Guiding Questions

By the end of this lesson

1. What are galaxies? What are the three main types of galaxies?

2. What is the size and shape of the Milky Way Galaxy?

Page 5: Warm UP - Matching

Look at the Stars in the Night Sky

Each twinkling lights is actually a - Sun

Page 6: Warm UP - Matching

Although Stars are so far away

Astronomers can not locate individual stars but

can detect huge groups of stars

Page 7: Warm UP - Matching

Lets begin a trip through the universe……

Page 8: Warm UP - Matching

Traveling the Speed of Light…..

The distance light can travel in a unit of time through a substance.

through a vaccum: 186,000 miles per second

300,000 kilometers per secondBut you still must travel much faster

Page 9: Warm UP - Matching

Begin the trip:

Star closest to the sun: Alpha Centauri4.3 light years from Earth

Page 10: Warm UP - Matching

Alph Centauri is a multiple star system3 stars to be exact

Proximi Centauri is the first of the stars, Its actually the closest star toEarth.

Page 11: Warm UP - Matching

Journey Continues

Alpha Centauri is not so unusual. Over half the stars in the sky have at least one companion star

Most stars are double star systems, two stars revolve round each other.Binary Stars

Page 12: Warm UP - Matching

Thousands of years ago………Arab Shepherds discovered that about every three days a certain bright star suddenly became dim and disappeared, only to brighten again.

Page 13: Warm UP - Matching

Next Stop….It was named Algol “Ghoul”Binary Star System

One of Algol’s stars is small bright blue – Visible from EarthThe other is large, dim , and yellow – non visible from Earth

Page 14: Warm UP - Matching

About every three days the larger star passes between the smaller star and Earth, blocking the smaller stars light

So every three days the smaller star appears to disappear.

Page 15: Warm UP - Matching

Constellations

Page 16: Warm UP - Matching

Journey continues in any direction…..One path goes passed the Dog Star – Sirius

Over 8 light years away

Page 17: Warm UP - Matching

Another path is the North Star – Polaris

400 light years from Earth

Page 18: Warm UP - Matching

Polaris has long been an important star for navigation

Sailors would know that sailing toward the star would mean they were sailing North

Page 19: Warm UP - Matching

Polaris is at the end of the handle of a group of stars called……Little Dipper.

Little Dipper makes up the constellation of stars called Ursa Minor – Little Bear

Page 20: Warm UP - Matching

Constellation

Groups of stars in which people at one time though they saw imaginary figures of animals or people.

There are…… 88 Major Constellations

Page 21: Warm UP - Matching

Constellation Construction

~ Find the Month of your birth.~ Choose a constellation found in that month~ On construction paper sketch a large version~ Make sure to make a point for each star~ Use yellow, green, blue and orange yarn for place markers~ Hang each string from the point of each star.~ Yarn should be varying lengths
