Quick Jot:
What is gravity, and how does it affect the motion of objects in the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest celestial bodies?
Group Instruction [50 min]:
Newton's law of Universal Gravitation video
1. Planets move in an oval-shaped path around the Sun.
The path is called an ellipse, not a perfect circle.
2. Planets move faster when they are closer to the Sun.
When a planet is farther away, it moves more slowly.
3. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to go around the Sun.
For example, Earth takes 1 year to orbit the Sun, while planets farther away, like Neptune, take much longer.

Today's goal: Students use candy and other materials to model different solar system bodies. We will describe each object, choose a candy match, and justify our choices with evidence. The goal is not to find one 'perfect' candy/item - it is to build and defend a reasonable analogy.
Body type review for description, key characteristics, and where it can be found:
Terrestial Planets
Gas Giants
Asteroids
Comets
Dwarf Planets
Kuipet Belt Objects
Meteroids
Meteors
Meteorites
Oort Cloud Objects
Lab Directions:
Review Asteroid Worked Example
Use visual reference notes
Work as a table/small group
Choose an object
Choose a candy/non-food item to represent the object
Draw/describe your choice
Justify your choice with evidence
Complete Candy Lab Investigation Part A and Part B as you go - this will be due 9/15.
REMEMBER: Your item does not need to look exactly like the object. Match a scientific characteristic and explain the connection!
