This document provides activities to support the study of everyday phenomena and encourage students to take the first steps towards constructing a scientific model. The activities help students understand the apparent movement of the Sun, the length of daylight and its changes in the course of the seasons, the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the solar system and the universe.

Barycentric Balls - Orbits and The Center of Mass
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, the principle of moments is applied to rotating systems to demonstrate the concept of a barycenter, or center of mass, and how objects in orbit around each other move. Students then consolidate this concept by calculating the centre of mass in a number of astronomical contexts.

Rating
0.0 stars

Students will use an elliptical board to obtain speed and distance measurements for an object in an elliptical orbit. The results are then plotted on a graph of speed against time in order to understand how gravity effects (or changes) the speed of a planet or a satellite in an elliptical orbit.

Students examine two timelines, one outlining the observation of the solar system in the West and the other the exploration of this system since 1957. Students will comment on the main reference points and summarize the most important milestones in space exploration in the second half of the 20th century. Students will answer a series of questions.
