Due Thurs.
(9/19) Venus is the brightest planet visible to the naked eye when we look up at our sky due to its close proximity to Earth within our solar system.
Students designed a variety of star types to discuss their characteristics, and analyze how size, color, and distance interact with what we see. Students then identified stars by their characteristics and placed them on a HR Diagram!
You will need:
your Chromebook
a pair of headphones I left at each seat (please wrap them neatly when you're done using them)

"Planet Comparison" worksheet

Log into Quizizz (Wayground) and complete the assignment I have assigned you all, titled "Assignment 1 -9/29". Answer the questions as you go through the video.
Next, you will complete "Assignment 2 - 9/29," which was assigned to you in Wayground. As you go through the slides, you will fill out your Planet Comparison worksheet. Please write neatly, add the correct units, and any notes you feel are important.
