Description

This was the final day of the Lost in Space project. And instead of having students complete a typical lab report, we decided to get creative. Students wrote a journal, as if they were truly lost in space during a mission to find a new planet. Their journal spanned the course of 60 days, just like the game. And they wrote about their arrival in the new solar system, what life was like in outer space, surviving attacks from enemy ships, and landing in a strange new world. For some the journey had a happy ending. They found food, fresh water, and comfortable temperatures. For others it was more somber. One student wrote “Day 60: We are attempting our landing on Planet Y. Just passed through the asteroid belt. We are really accelerating now as the gravity takes us in. It’s cloudy here. Getting dark. We should hit the surface any minute now. Still falling. Our shipf is starritng to creak… creekigndh noiseh inteh hllu…”

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-ESS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. Emphasis for the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system and Milky Way galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples of models can be physical (such as the analogy of distance along a football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual (such as mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects such as students’ school or state). Assessment does not include Kepler’s Laws of orbital motion or the apparent retrograde motion of the planets as viewed from Earth.
NGSSMS-ESS1-3
Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system. Emphasis is on the analysis of data from Earth-based instruments, space-based telescopes, and spacecraft to determine similarities and differences among solar system objects. Examples of scale properties include the sizes of an object’s layers (such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and orbital radius. Examples of data include statistical information, drawings and photographs, and models. Assessment does not include recalling facts about properties of the planets and other solar system bodies.
NGSSMS-ESS1-1
Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons. Examples of models can be physical, graphical, or conceptual.
