PLEASE TAKE YOUR HOMEWORK OUT

• Understand how our view of the solar system has changed over time and how discoveries made have led to our changing our

view of the solar system.

• Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons, size, composition, type of atmosphere, gravity, temperature and

surface features.

• Understand the movement of planetary bodies.

• Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds.

• Understand how proximity to the sun influences planets.

• Understand the methods and tools scientists use to learn about other planets and moons in our solar system.

• Understand the conditions needed for a habitable world and determine if there are

habitable worlds in our solar system or outside the solar system.

• Understand how we look for and study solar systems other than our own.

1. Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught.

2. Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations.3. Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary.4. Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher

level.

• Does your planet meet this particular requirement?

• What would need to happen to that planet to make it habitable for humans?

• How would you change the planet to create a habitable world?
