how the EARTH was made.
Astronomy is the name of this unit. Before you go any further I would like you to really understand why Earth is such an amazing planet and how is it that it became and now can support such complex life. Do you think such a planet exists anywhere else in the universe?
TO DO 1: (this may take two lessons)
1.Watch this video below (on the big screen or individually with headphones)
2. Complete notes to key questions while watching taking on the worksheet "Earth- Power of the Plant-Rare Earth". Paste into your books please.

CHECKPOINT #1:
Earth- the goldilocks planet
TO DO 2: Collect an Astronomy booklet from your Teacher.
Earth is an amazing planet to visit. It has some very unique features which mean it can support complex life. During the next few periods you build a more in-depth understanding of such Earthly features as:
- Why Earth has a night and a day.
- Why Earth has 4 distinct seasons. (not all planets have seasons)
- What our natural satellite is and the phases of the moon.
- What causes tides on Earth?
- And why Pluto is considered to no longer be a planet.
Using information provided below complete all task sheets. When watching the videos below, use your headphone please.

The video below is pretty full on. Don't take it on unless you really want to know!!
Now let's explore beyond earth......
Other planets would be amazing to visit too. You are a travel agent and you are going to produce a tourism pamphlet to attract people to your chosen planet. You will be working in pairs (choose from people in your group) to complete this task. You will make a professional tourism pamphlet that outlines key PLANETARY information for a planet of your choice.
TO DO 3: Make a professional travel broshure (this may take 4-5 lessons)
1. Pick up the task instructions from your teacher.
2. Divide up the research sections between the two of you. Start your research and record in your own words relevant information and images you would like to include in a word document in your Science folder in OneDrive.
When you are ready:
You will be using CANVA a professional pamphlet site. You can register with your school email and generate a password that you both can access and use.
My email: use your school email address.
Our password: make it easy to remember
You will need to SAVE work under the pair name. This will allow you to work in and out of class time.
You will need to print off yourself and construct professionally.

What would it be like to travel into space?
TO DO 4: Read the the information and click on the buttons below to really start to eplore what life in space would be like. WATCH the videos too.
It turns out, astronauts have much bigger things to worry about than extraterrestrials that don’t come in peace, and it’s about time we started talking about them. After all, not only do we regularly send astronauts up to explore the vast mysteries of space, we also have the promise of space tourism looming on the horizon, government agencies racing to explore Mars, and private companies investing millions to figure out how we can live on the Red Planet once we get there.
“Space is an unforgiving environment that does not tolerate human error and technical failure.” Alas, human error and technical failure, while equally worrying, aren’t our only concerns. According to Leroy Chiao, a retired astronaut, “The biggest barrier to missions like that are biomedical…it’s how are you going to keep astronauts healthy in that long period of time?
Check out the following links to explore the impacts of space travel on the human body.
