take more accurate _______ than
Earth-based telescopes.
photographs
Cluster of galaxies
Nebula
What is an advancement in
technology that has greatly
improved how we predict the
weather?
weather satellites
Due to space exploration,
many scientific developments
such as disease research, lasers,
and pacemakers have benefitted
_________
_________.
medical care
Pacemaker
for the heart.
Laser surgery.
If scientists wanted to visit
a planet far away like
Neptune, they would send a
_____ _____, because it
would be too far and too
dangerous for a crew of
astronauts.
space probe
A drawing of blue Neptune
with its largest moon at the
bottom right. The artist has
drawn 3 space probes near
Neptune and its moons. (The
moon only seems bigger than
Neptune because it is
closer to you. )
What is the name of

facility that orbits the Earth
in outer space?
Many countries around the
world support it.

The first
“manned, launched rocket”
was built in the
state of _________.
ALABAMA!
(Huntsville is in north Alabama.)

the place where scientists
work on the space program
for NASA.

What is a smooth
surface
with very little
friction,
good for sliding or
skating?
ice.
The sun’s rays are more
direct at the equator
than at the poles. Therefore,
the equator will be
_____
in temperature than the poles.
warmer
An object that orbits
another object in
space is called a
_______________.
satellite.
The moon orbits
the Earth so
it is Earth’s
natural satellite!
Human-made weather satellites
also orbit the Earth.
What word describes
the idea that a thing in
motion tends to stay in
motion and a thing at
rest tends to stay at rest?
inertia
(A chest of drawers at rest doesn’t
move unless lifted or pushed.
Planets orbit the Sun and continue
orbiting because there is little or no
friction to slow them down.)

going down the same
hill. One is empty, and
one is filled with heavy
rocks. Which truck will
build more momentum
as they go down the
hill?
The truck with the rocks
builds more momentum.
