Presentation Transcript
6thGrade STEM Class Planets, Atmosphere, and Parachutes
Solar System Science Standard and Objective STANDARD III: Students will understand the relationship and attributes of objects in the solar system. Objective 2: Describe the use of technology to observe objects in the solar system and relate this to science s understanding of the solar system. Describe the use of instruments to observe and explore the moon and planets. Describe the role of computers in understanding the solar system (e.g., collecting and interpreting data from observations, predicting motion of objects, operating space probes). Relate science s understanding of the solar system to the technology used to investigate it. Find and report on ways technology has been and is being used to investigate the solar system.
Planets of the Solar System Statistics Mercury: It has no atmosphere. Venus: Its atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide. Earth: Its atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide. Mars: It has a thin atmosphere. Jupiter: Its atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia.
Planets of the Solar System Statistics Saturn: It has an atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, methane and ammonia. Uranus: It has an atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, methane and ammonia. Neptune: Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, methane and ammonia. Pluto: Its atmosphere is nitrogen, carbon monoxide and methane.
Solar System Math Content Standards Ratio and Proportional Relationships Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. 1. Understand the concept of ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. 3. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. 6.RP The Number System Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. 1. Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. 6. NS Geometry Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. 1. Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes. 6.G
