Astronomy Review

Your training regimen does not include one-handed push-ups (or getting slapped as you do sit-ups). Today does include the following:

1. Tomorrow before the post-test, there will be a short standard check on Galaxies. It includes this essay question, which you may answer TODAY during class:
   Different theories exist about the origin of the universe, one of which is the big bang theory. In this essay, explain what the big bang theory is. Be sure to describe some of the events/discoveries that have led some scientists to this theory. (How does cosmic background radiation, the Doppler Effect, advanced telescopes, etc. contribute to the support and formation of the big bang theory?) (3 points). You will sign-in to your account at http://www.classmarker.com/ . I, or the substitute, will have a printed list of your usernames if you forgot it. Under "My tests" find the "Galaxies Essay". Start this and type away!
2. Complete the astronomy cardboxes in Ediscio ("Planetary Motion", "Planets", "Earth, Moon, and Sun Effects", "Small Bodies of the Solar System", "Our Sun", and "Stars and Galaxies"). Keep track of your success in your Unit 14 Packet.
3. Once you've completed the essay, you can continue your review session with the Astronomy Smart Review Games. You can find these in the student shared folder.
   

Happy training!
