Mercury Surface Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging

Lesson Concepts

• Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable.

Lesson Concepts

• Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable.

• Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation.

Lesson Concepts

• Radiation from the Sun is the main source of energy on Earth. It heats the Earth to a temperature at which life is sustainable.

• Heat can be transmitted via conduction, convection, and radiation.

• Heat interacting with material causes it to change temperature, size, or physical state (phase).

Lesson Concepts

• When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of error and improve the basic design to reduce these errors.

Lesson Concepts

• When designing a scientific experiment, it is important to consider possible sources of error and improve the basic design to reduce these errors.

• In designing devices to be used in practical applications, it is important to take into consideration the cost-effectiveness of the device: the efficiency of the device in solving the problem compared with its total cost.

•Pass out Worksheet 2 and review procedure for experiment and their designs.•Students build their sunshades.•Students follow instructions 1-11, collecting data on page 3.•Students work on pages 5-7 while waiting for ice in control can to melt (~30 minutes).

Where would your students perform the investigation?

A. In my classroom or lab with lamps.B. Outdoors.C. I don’t have the resources to implement

this lesson.

Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

Depending on the level of your class…

Basic Homework: •Compare ice melted in each can.•How much ice was protected by your sunshade?•What percent of ice was protected by the shade / cost of the shade?•Complete p 5, questions 1-5.

Advanced Homework: •Complete calculations on page 4 using data from the experiment. •SHOW ALL YOUR WORK!•In the next class you will compare your answers with your group and among groups.•Complete p 5, questions 1-5.

Depending on the level of your class…

Students calculate:

•angle of sun (trig)•surface area (geom)•latent heat (calc)•energy/time•energy/time/surface area

What do you mean by “advanced”?

And must confidently: •convert SI units•use Joules avoid careless errors•units, units, UNITS

•calculate angle of sun (trig)

•calculate surface area (geom)

•calculate latent heat (calc)

•calculate energy/time

•calculate energy/time/surface area

Use a clip art stamp on the skills your students would NOT

be able to do:

•convert SI units

•use Joules

•avoid careless errors

•be consistent with units, units, UNITS

Use a clip art stamp on the skills your students WOULD be

able to do:

•Compare amount of ice melted in each can.•How much ice was protected by your sunshade?•What percent of ice was protected by the shade / cost of the shade?

The Goldstone Radio Telescope opportunity opened my eyes to the reality that my 6th grade students can conduct real scientific research using a HUGE NASA

resource! Another amazing opportunity provided by NES that has changed the way I teach science and math.
