We watched the "storm" episode of One Strange Rock by National Geographic.

You can find it on Disney+ if you want to watch it again or weren't able to make it to class.

ASTRONOMY: EXPLORING THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE GALAXIES, AND THE UNIVERSE WITH THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE

Scavenger Hunt assignment:

Before getting started, look up the California standards for astronomy for your grade level.

Then go to the Hubble Telescope Website.

Click on Menu - Science

Notice that you have a variety of options:

Key Concepts

Solar Systems

Exoplanets

Stars and Nebulas

Galaxies

Universe

Cosmic Wonders

Create a scavenger hunt assignment that your students could work on individually or as a small group.

• Send them to each site so they learn about the telescope and why it is so important, various parts of our solar system and space, and important scientists along the way (can you find anyone female or BIPOC individuals to teach them about?).

• Can you create questions that force them to draw an image or use specific colors to break it up so they aren’t just writing words?

• Is it possible for you to create questions/plans so that they make connections between space and their real lives?
