Scientific Notation: What does size mean in our Universe?
Activity: Click on Scientific Notation. Follow the prompts to find the answers in the site. Make a copy of your worksheet and link it to this Schoology Assignment.
ACTIVITY: VENN Diagram for FISSION, FUSION AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Use the VENN diagram to place the number of the term into the correct section of the diagram. Then cut out the diagram and glue it into your ISN. When done write FISSION, FUSION AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS on 2 pages of your ISN, cut out each sentence and place the sentence under the correct title. If a cut out sentence is under more than one category write the complete sentence under the correct section. There are 9 statements in Fusion, 10 statements in Fission, 4 statements in both fusion and fission, 2 statements in all three statements, 5 statements in just chemical reactions, and 1 statement in fusion and chemical reactions. There are no statements in chemical reactions and fission. Activity: Sun Google Slide #2 Watch this PPT and fill out the worksheet. Let's learn more about the Sun, fusion and NEUTRINO'S!! |
Activity: Graphing Sunspot Cycles 1. Set up a graph on your graph paper with years on the x-axis and number of sunspots on the y-axis. Number the graph so that it takes up as much room on the paper as possible. 2. Go to this Schoology Site for the Sunspot Number Table 3. Plot the sunspot number against time. 4. START AT 1850 TO PRESENT TIME Sunspot number table, courtesy of the National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder (USA). Read about Sunspots Question for the Students: Connect the points you've plotted with a smooth curve. You'll notice that there are very clear peaks (maximums) and valleys (minimums). 1. Which years are the maximums and which years are minimums? Label these years on your graph with a capital M and lower case m, respectively. 2. Is there is a regular pattern? To answer this question, take note of what scientists call the solar cycle, i.e., how many years are there between a solar maximum, a solar minimum and the next solar maximum? For example, in 1705 there is a maximum, in 1711-1712 there is a minimum, in 1717 a maximum. So the first solar cycle you plotted lasted 12 years (subtract 1705 from 1717). Take note of the other solar cycles by makin a table of maximums, minimums and the years between 2 maximums. a) If you had to guess at the average solar cycle length, what would it be from 1700-present? b) Now find the average solar cycle length with a calculator. Show your work: 3. If you had to make a prediction for the years 2011 and 2017, would the years be maximums or minimums? 4. How many sunspots were there during the year you were born? Predict whether it will be closer to a maximum or a minimum when you graduate from high school and for when you turn 21 years old. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
NOAA: Solar Cycle Progression: Interactive site for Solar Sunspot Activity. Look under the first graph. See the 1800-2000 timeline? Using your mouse expand the date to include 1800-2000. What pattern do you see happening during this time? What does that tell you about sunspot activity?

ACTIVITY: ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Go to page 64. Electromagnetic Waves Chapter and read that chapter. Read the next chapter, The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Make a flip-book of this chapter using 4 sheets of copy paper. Turn your Foldable so the staples are at the top. Label the tabs, in order from top to bottom, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared Rays, Visible Light, Ultraviolet Light, X Rays, and Gamma Rays. As you read, write facts you learn about each topic under the appropriate tab. Add drawings when appropriate.
Here is a great video that will explain the Electromagnetic Spectrum to you. Watch it!
Size Comparisons Video: This will WOW you!! When you are finished watching this amazing video write 2 things that you found fascinating in your ISN.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Project Rubric
Electromagnetic Spectrum Project
DQ: Is there a relationship between the frequency, energy, and wavelength of a light wave?
Due ____________
You will investigate the properties of electromagnetic spectrum waves in order to determine if a relationship exists between the frequency, wavelength, and/or amounts of energy of different types of electromagnetic waves.
Your task is to create an Electromagnetic Spectrum Poster similar to the one on the back. Your poster MUST:
Other Factors affecting your grade
You and your partner (or you may do this on your own, but have the same requirements) have the option of doing the project as described above or modifying the format. Below are some other formats that can be considered. Student MUST have the required information listed above in their project. The pictures may be hand-drawn or computer generated.
This is NOT an all-inclusive list and you are encouraged to be creative with the project.
A large piece of white paper, Children’s Book, Animoto, Glogster
Make your own movie using props (it must be uploaded to YouTube)
Etc.…… (ask if you’re not sure your idea is acceptable)
Here is a video that was exceptional. Made by Liv Holmes and Mailee Wardnski EM Spectrum Project

Due ____________
You will investigate the properties of electromagnetic spectrum waves in order to determine if a relationship exists between the frequency, wavelength, and/or amounts of energy of different types of electromagnetic waves.
Your task is to create an Electromagnetic Spectrum Poster similar to the one on the back. Your poster MUST:
- Correctly name the electromagnetic spectrum waves in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength. (1 point each, 7 total)
- Include a picture of how each wave is used in everyday situations. (2 points each, 14 total)
- Draw the relative wavelength for each wave compared to the other waves on the spectrum. Each wave’s amplitude must be the same, you can decide on how to do that for your particular project. (1 point each, 7 total)
- Name the visible light colors in order correctly. (1 point each, 7 total)
- Explain how each of the following change as you travel across the spectrum: wavelength, frequency, and energy. (6 points each, 18 total)
- Identify the wave that has the longest wavelength and least energy. (2 points)
- Identify the wave that has the shortest wavelength and most energy. (2 points)
- Identify the color that has the longest wavelength. (2 points)
- Identify the color that has the shortest wavelength. (2 points)
Other Factors affecting your grade

CHARACTERISTICS OF STARS:
Candle Observation and Notes: A lighted candle is on your desk. In your ISN using colored pencils of blue, yellow, orange or red draw a picture of what colors you are seeing in the flame. You make capture the image using your phones (with out a flash) if you want to.
After drawing your image answer the following questions in your ISN.
1. Which part of the flame do you think is the hottest?
2. As you watch the candle flame, what things or events in everyday life come to mind?
