Stars, Galaxies, & the Universe Project (Ch 25)
Questions:
1. What are at least 3 properties of stars and what have you learned about them?
2. What is Stellar Parallax, and how does it work?
3. What are two ways star brightness can be described, and how are they different?
4. What is the HR diagram, what does it tell us about stars, and how could a star move around on the diagram over time?
5. What are the different ways a star can evolve, and what does the way a star evolves depend on?
6. What are the different types of galaxies?
7. What are the characteristics of the Milky Way?
8. What is the evidence that the universe is expanding?
9. What does the Big Bang theory say about how the universe has evolved?
10. What have you learned about the Orion Constellation and the objects in it?
Grades will be based on these criteria:
1. The project is complete. All content is covered completely and includes key details, all scientific vocabulary, and appropriate examples.
2. The project is organized. The content is presented in an organized way.
3. The project is visual. Images/visuals are USED to effectively show understanding. Visuals have very few words associated with them.
*** To earn an "A or B", your visuals should have no or VERY FEW words!
4. The project is high quality. It is obvious that great effort was put forth in creating the project.
5. The project is yours. It includes your face (if possible), and YOUR WORDS. Emphasis is on you using visuals to explain what you've learned without reading to the audience.
**This is a test of what you've learned, not a test of your ability to copy and paste or read. To maximize your score, consider a screencast or video instead of a slide show.
