List the planets in order from the sun to
Pluto!
SWBAT describe the planets’ distances
from the sun.


1. write your hypothesis about where the
planets are in the solar system on the paper I
give you
2. write the answers on the other side

What were you surprised about?

What were you sure about?


If Pluto is roughly 6 billion miles away from
the sun, what would be the scale on our solar
system in your pocket if the paper were
EXACTLY 1 meter?
Using this scale, how far is Uranus from the
Sun IN METERS?

After you watch, write down how you feel
about your size in the universe in your
journal


Hmmm, if our scale is 6,000,000,000 km =
1m, then we need to divide each distance by
6 billion BUT it won’t fit in the cheap
calculators!
What to do, what to do???

Is the way scientists easily handle very large
or very small numbers.

6,000,000,000 = 6 * 10⁹

OR 0.0001666 = 1.7 * 10⁃⁴

SWBAT express distances and diameters in
scientific notation
3.1 * 10⁴ =

Read through both conclusions with your
team.
Using the rubric, decide what grade you
would give them and why.
Reread your conclusion on the quiz.
How does it fit the rubric?
Rewrite it to make it amazing!

The nearest star to Earth, other than the sun,
is 44,000,000,000,000 km from the Earth (4
light years away).
What is its distance in scientific notation?

IN Journal, label hypothesis:
1. How old is the earth?

2. How long has life been on Earth?

3. How long have humans been on Earth?





SCALE = 30 cm = 1 billion years
1cm = 33 million years
Using that scale, arrange the events in the
order you think they occur
When you are done, start answering the
questions


Put your events in the order that I discuss
Answer the questions



Convert the distances from the sun into
millimeters.
Convert the diameters into mm.
Answer the questions.


Why do the planets revolve around the sun?
Why do they not hit the sun or fly off?
