The download comes with student worksheets as well as a teacher copy with set up instructions and sample answers. This is a great way to get the students moving, testing simple ideas and an effective way to assess them.

In this lesson the students will learn about Planetary Motion and the factors that affect motion. We will cover Kepler’s laws, talk about eccentricity and the eccentricity of each planet and finally, Newton’s law of gravity. After the lesson, the students will complete an assessment using a virtual simulator. They will investigate eccentricity.

In this first lesson of the unit, the students will learn about the Formation of the Solar System. Since the lesson is long, there is an accompanying student worksheet. The students will then watch a movie (link included) and complete the video worksheet included. Lesson sheet Download includes: - powerpoint, lesson worksheet, video worksheet, answer to video worksheet

In this lesson, the students will learn about that different types of galaxies (Spiral, irregular and elliptical) and how to identify the different subtypes.

For example- E7, Sb, etc. This download contains the lesson as well as the assignment sheet and answer key.

In this lesson, the students learn how to measure distances in the night sky. We learn about latitude and longitude, the celestial sphere, right ascension and declination, and altitude and azimuth. The students then practice locating objects in the night sky. This folder includes a lesson, homework sheet and answer key.

This lesson allows students to learn about the history of space travel and exploration. We talk about Space travel technologies as well as the risks and limitations of living in space. There is a special focus on Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield. After the lesson, the students will watch at 47 min movie, Youtube link is included, and then complete a small research assignment on Living in Space. In this download you will get the lesson with Youtube link at the end, student assignment sheet an

This is a very detailed lesson on the different types of measurements used to measure large astronomical distances. This lesson teaches the students astronomical units, light years, parallax and parsecs. We also discuss variable star comparison (intrinsic and extrinsic variation) and a brief introduction to red shift. This folder contains the lesson, a student copy of the lesson, a homework sheet and an answer key.

In this lesson, the students will learn about the Sun. The lesson covers the basic measurements of the sun, and then a detailed look at the parts of the interior, how the sun produces energy and then we will cover special features of the sun, including sunspots, solar flares, and solar prominences.

This is the second of 2 lessons on the Precambrian period. This lesson focuses on the formation of the atmosphere, outgassing and oxygen, the formation of the Oceans and ends with the origin of life (proterozoic life, ediacaran biota).
