Below I have attached a video that I have created to show you how to submit a document on Submitbox. Please do this rather than emailing it to me. Also, make sure to not send me a link as a comment on Submitbox- this is different than uploading it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Today we began the movie of Apollo 13, a movie based off of the historical events of Mission Apollo 13's (eventful) journey to the moon. Students are filling out a movie guide worksheet as we watch the movie. We did not finish, and we will continue watching this on Monday. I will be out on Monday, but students will be in the trusted hands of Carl Larsen. Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!
Corny Joke of the week: Q: What do you call when it is raining turkeys? A: Fowl weather! Buh dum chhh! Sorry for the late post- I went home sick at the beginning of the school day yesterday. Monday and Tuesday we completed Activity 98. We then devoted the rest of class time on Tuesday to complete Activity 98 Analysis Question #2. This is due in Submitbox by Wednesday by 11:55 pm. If the assignment is hand written or turned in hard copy, it must be turned in during the school day tomorrow. I have attached the textbook, student sheet 98.1, 89.1 and writing format guide to help form a response. Please disregard that the writing frame says Energy.

Today we finished discussing the effects of gravity in Act. 96. We then completed Act. 97, a group reading activity where we learned about the advantages and disadvantages of piloted vs unpiloted space missions. Homework for students is Ac.t 97 AQ 1a and 1b. The exception is Period 2 finished Act. 96 today, so their homework is Act. 96 1-4. Below I have attached pictures of the board and notebook, files from today, as well as a youtube video I showed in class when we discussed weightlessness on rollercoasters compared with space travel.
Today we learned about the effects of gravity by reading Activity 96. Students who were absent should complete the reading on the attached textbook PDF, complete the Anticipation Guide 96.1 before and after the reading, and should answer Analysis questions 1-3. I also checked Act. 95 graphs for completeness and accuracy.
Today we finished Activity 95, working on our two graphs from Activity 95, showing the relationship between mass, distance, and gravitational force. These will be entered into the grade book tomorrow. We then watched the two videos below. Homework is Act. 95 AQ 1-4 (not 1-3 like it says in the photo). ![]()
Today we finished discussing remote sensing in Act. 94. We then started Activity 95, learning about how mass and distance influence gravitation force. Students found these relationships by graphing two data sets in Act. 95. We did not finish Act. 95. The homework for tonight is Act. 94 AQ 1-4.
What a crazy week! On Wednesday we took a Solar System Quiz and finished Act. 93. If you were absent I have attached the reading and alternative assignment that can be turned in to submitbox. Homework was Act. 93 1-3. On Friday we started Act. 94, but did not finish, therefore there is no homework. Have a great weekend.
On Thursday we learned about the Sun by reading Act. 92. If you were absent on Thursday, you will need to read this in the attachment below and answer analysis questions 1-4. We then watched the two videos posted below to get a general sense of the sizes of the different planets and star that we know of in space. On Friday, we started but did not finish ACt. 93, where we learned about remote sensing. Therefore, there is no homework from Act. 93, however the homework for the weekend is to study 10-15 minutes a day of all Activities covered thus far from Unit G, as we are having a quiz on Wednesday. Enjoy the four day weekend! Q: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? A: Because he felt crummy :(
Today in class we learned how to draw the size of the planets of the Solar System to scale in Activity 90. We also reviewed what an Astronomical Unit (AU) and what a scale are. If you were absent, I have attached the student sheet and textbook file below. It should be noted that we only did Part A in class. The homework is to complete Analysis questions 2 and 4. Student sheet 86.1 is also due tomorrow, and should be filled out with night sky observations from the past two weeks.
