Tuesday 9/5 - PES 2.1 - Observing Patterns - Elorde Tuliao | Library

Objective: KWBAT use a model to observe and explain the pattern of when stars are visible in the sky.

Chapter 2 Question:
Why is the sun up sometimes, but not other times?

DIRECTIONS: We just figured out that the reason we cannot see other stars when the sun is up is because the sun is TOO bright! Now they have a new question. Read the email from Dr. Sabri at the Museum of Archaeology to find out what the Museum wants us to investigate next.

1

According to the email, what does Dr. Sabri need us to investigate next?

3

PATTERN: something we observe to be similar over and over again.
Based on this definition, which of the following would be considered a pattern? Select all that apply, there may be more than one correct answer.

While the SIM is running, what patterns do you see happening over and over again?

0

What do you observe to be similar over and over again in each section of the artifact? Do you see a pattern?

Today’s Investigation Question
What causes the daily pattern of when we see the sun and other stars?

Making Observations from Mount Nose
MOUNT NOSE MODEL
For this model, we are going to use our heads as the Earth.  We are going to pretend our nose is a giant mountain on Earth called Mount Nose. If we imagine a person camped at the top of Mount Nose it will allow our eyes to see what that camper on Mount Nose when they look at the sky.

Use this model (picture) to answer the questions below.

1

Is it daytime or nighttime on Mount Nose? How do you know?

1

Are there other stars, in addition to the sun, in the direction you are looking? (Yes or No)

1

Would a person (Bob) on Mount Nose see those stars? Yes or No? Explain why.

In the model below, where is it currently daytime on Earth and how do you know? Pick locations A, B, C, or D. Select all that apply (there may be more than one right answer).
