The Match J2
Dr. Jean CreightonTeaches astronomyAt UW-MilwaukeeDirector of the Manfred Planetarium
Jeanine Gelhaus7th and 8th grade science teacherAdjunct FacultyTeacher ConsultantCurriculum WorkGoalsA. Increase Knowledge/Content in the area of astronomy Brown Bag Lunch Sessions:David Kaplan Neutron StarsDawn Erb- Dark Energy and Accelerating UniverseDr. Creighton: discussions, planetarium shows Personal research of websites, watching videos, reading articles, etcB. Create a unit of inquiry-study dealing with astronomy
Project #1Consultation on current website & online materials
Do the actual planetarium programs accurately reflect what is marketed in on the planetarium website?
Project 1- Resource CompilationOutline standards and big ideas for grade-levelsDo web searches for videos, images, activitiesEach resource was checked by Dr. CreightonBias Precision -AccuracyNo misconceptions perpetuated
One STOP Browsing!PRODUCT- Housed on Manfred Olson Planetarium website (LIVE Links)
Project #2 Solar PhenomenaPAST- UV International - Global Climate Change NASA/UW-Madison - Solar Energy*- UWSP
OutlineSun is a star: Review Rotation/Revolution/SeasonsParts: chromosphere, photosphere, etc **Phenomena: solar flares, sun spots, **Media: on solar flares and Earth **Inquiry/Journal the Sun: Real-Time Observations **Satellite Images: false-color images **Using NASA data to create pics of actual sunspots **Sunspot cycle and correlation to GCC **Sunspots: auroras, electrical grid malfunctions

Satellite Imagery X-RAY Solar Images and the use False Color Imagery When looking at how active the Sun is with respect to radiation (energy), X-RAY imagery is used to show the active areas of the Sun. The active area of the Sun in these images is shown in a different color and is situated along the equatorial region.
Satellite Images: Visible Light Imagesof the SunThese are Visible light or white-light images (gray) as we would see the Sun if you were to walk outside and look at it. (CAUTION- NEVER look directly at the Sun) These images show dark sunspots on the Suns outer surface. Sunspots show cooler areas on the Suns outer photosphere.
Can you MATCH the White Light image to the correct XRAY image? Do they correlate in someway?
Answer: There is an actual physical connection between sunspots and X-ray active regionsSunspots are locations where intense magnetic fields pass through the photosphere. The bright active regions in the corona are also regions of concentrated magnetic field; the loop-like structures sometimes seen in active regions actually trace out the direction of magnetic field lines. The fact that an X-ray active region is found in the corona directly above a photospheric sunspot suggests that the same magnetic field links them both: the magnetic field threads through the sunspot up into the corona, where it loops back down again to the photosphere below.Inquiry Journalshttp://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Creating Images from Sun SpotsComputers often record and transfer information using a series of ones (1) and zeros (0). This is called a "binary system.PixelsCreate images of sun spots from the binary system
