General Science 9 Space Exploration Resources
Identify different perspectives on the nature of Earth and space, based on culture and science
Investigate and illustrate the contributions of technological advances-including optical telescopes, spectral analysis and space travel-to a scientific understanding of space
Identify evidence for-and describe characteristics of-bodies that make up the solar system, and compare their characteristics with those of Earth
Describe and apply techniques for determining the position and motion of objects in space - construct and interpret drawings and physical models that illustrate the motion to objects in space
Describe techniques used to estimate distances of objects in space and to determine their motions
Describe the position of objects in space, using angular coordinates
Investigate predictions about the motions, alignments, and collision of bodies in space; and critically examine the evidence on which they are based
Describe technologies for space transport, and interpret scientific principles involved
Explain, in general terms, the operation of optical telescopes, including telescopes that are positioned in space environments
Explain the role of radio and optical telescopes in determining characteristics of stars and star systems
