Students will use an article from the National Geographic website learn about the scale of the universe.
Before reading, students will engage in a Think-Pair-Share with their partners and class about the following question: Why do we measure distance in space in light years?
During reading, students will participate in a Jigsaw reading, during which, students will be divided into small groups. Each small group will read and become "experts" on their assigned section of reading so that they can teach the class about their section.
After reading, students will be given a Frame Routine outline to fill out using the three main ideas from the text. ]]> 2019-04-22 13:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/madiw21/scaleoftheuniverse/wish/353045221 Frame Routine Outline madiw21 https://padlet.com/madiw21/scaleoftheuniverse/wish/353048278

(8) Earth and space. The student knows characteristics of the universe. The student is expected to:

(A) describe components of the universe, including stars, nebulae, and galaxies, and use models such as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for classification;

(B) recognize that the Sun is a medium-sized star located in a spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy and that the Sun is many thousands of times closer to Earth than any other star;

(C) identify how different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum such as visible light and radio waves are used to gain information about components in the universe; and

(D) research how scientific data are used as evidence to develop scientific theories to describe the origin of the universe.
