E1. Relating Science to Our Changing WorldE1.2 evaluate how space observation and exploration technologies contribute to our understanding of climate change, natural disasters, and other phenomenaE1.3 assess ways in which technological innovations related to space observation and exploration are applied in various fields, including their contributions to sustainable practices on EarthE2. Investigating and Understanding ConceptsE2.3 summarize observational evidence used to support theories about the origin and evolution of the universe and the solar system, considering diverse ways of knowingE2.4 describe major components of the solar system and the universe and compare their characteristicsE2.5 quantify distances in the solar system and the universe by applying an understanding of relative distances and sizes and using appropriate units of measureFirst 25What does the phrase, “We are explorers.” mean to you?How do we explore space?What might we be looking at?starsplanetsgalaxiessatellitesmoonsMiddle 25How do we know what we’re looking at? how do we see? we use lightthere’s more to light than meets the eye (visible part of the spectrum vs other wavelengths)Why do we see what we see? Evolutionary response to what makes it through our atmosphere (molecules and radiation simulation)how do we see what else is out there? use technology to see. x-rays are commonwhat other information can we gain from other wavelengths?infrared can penetrate dustLast 25Summarize
