 This week we talked about time line that include 1. Humans appeared(Homo Sapiens sapiens) 2. Dinosaurs ruled the earth 3. First land plants 4. First land animals 5. Moon was created, we wrote our guess on the “paper time line” 1m=1 billion years 50cm=500000000 years 10cm=100000000years 1cm=10000000years 1mm=1000000years We talked about Formative assessment qualtrics results  We wrote the big first from 1000-2000 and wrote on the sticky notes, and stick on the “paper time line”

      This week we talk about the info from Pressbook and talked about the homework video which talked about some students not really understand about the sun, moon and earth problem after the class. And saw the Designed system table on the Atlas Science Literacy book in the lab . Also showed the standards from 1st-7th grade from NGSS.      We ask to physically build a scale model of the sun, moon and the 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) in our table group. We search the size and distance of each planets, and do the units change 1. The Big Question in Lab: The big question we tackled in the lab was understanding and representing the spatial relationships and sizes of the Sun, Moon, and inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) on a model scale. This involved calculating and translating the actual distances and sizes into manageable, scaled-down versions that could fit within our table group setup. Activities in Lab: In lab, we ...

1. What did you do in the laboratory today? In today's laboratory, we conducted a practical activity using physical models to understand the relationship between the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon. We use a lamp to represent the sun, a small ball to represent the moon, and the earth is represented by our movement around the lamp. This device helps us intuitively understand how the Earth rotates and revolves around the Sun, as well as how the Moon orbits around the Earth, resulting in the phenomenon of equal day and night and moon. It also allowed us to explore the principles behind the formation of the four seasons. 2. What is the big problem?      The big issue this week is           1. How the phases of the moon occur?           2. What causes the seasons?           3. What causes a lunar eclipse? 3. What did you learn from Thursday's discussion? In Thursday's discussion, we delved i...
