Open up your laptops go to Mr Hyatt

Open up your laptops, go to Mr. Hyatt. rocks, and do today’s bellwork Scale Description 4 Through independent work beyond what was taught in class, you could: • investigate the location of seasonal constellations in the local sky. • predict location of constellations at future times. • determine the celestial equator, latitude and position of the Pole Star for a given position on the Earth. • determine the distances of stars in a given constellation to each other and to Earth. 3 You will be able to: • describe and apply the coordinate system used to locate objects in the sky. • distinguish the various methods of measuring astronomical distances and apply each in appropriate situations. 2 You will be able to: • determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other astronomy specific words and phrases as they are used in context to relevant topics • label diagrams with degree measurements • describe how or why different units of measurement are needed for distances in space 1 You will be able to • label diagrams with degree measurements • list the different units of measurement needed to measure distances in space

A reminder: Your Current Event is due at MIDNIGHT!

In about 3 minutes…. . • You will go back to the tables you were at yesterday.

You will have assignments to complete • One is due today at midnight • One is due Tuesday at midnight • You can complete both today in class if you work well

The instructions are next to bellwork on Mr. Hyatt. rocks

When choosing which constellation to research, there are two rules: 1. Don’t pick your sign of the zodiac; try something new 2. Don’t pick the same one as anybody else at your table.

Where do I find information?

What will the page of my science journal look like when I am done? (Except filled in!)
