Solar System Scale - we walked off the solar system to scale and found out that the outer planets are much farther away from the Sun than they appear on paper.
Powers of Ten video (see it on youtube - if this link works)
Distances in space notes
** the only number you're asked to memorize here is the speed of light, c. (see below or in notes)
Star types (I) notes
Notes on the Doppler Effect (these were connected to the Absorption Spectra notes)
Discussion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum - wave lengths and energies of different EM waves, all of which move at ~ 3.00x10^8 m/s in a vacuum:... plus how the ROYGBIV is situated between (lower energy) longer infrared waves and (higher energy) UV rays - Red is by infrared, and violet is by UV so you can tell which has lower and higher E (and their relative wavelengths) (SEE IMAGES BELOW)
Watched some "fun science" videos with Charlie (hopefully this link works)
Worked on Astronomy Vocabulary (something I typically expect you to get from the reading, but I should apparently do more often.
Some classes got to start a video regarding solar system and planet formation, depending on how long they took to work math problems.
EXTRA MATH / number concept and Challenge problems HERE to help you review.
After classes (next time) finish the video, we will address significant figures and scientific notation so that you never need to ask, "how do I round this?" again, and WHY you round.
- it's easy (based on specific, clear rules) but will take practice to perfect.
