PPT-Understand how our view of the solar system has changed over time and how discoveries

Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons size composition type of atmosphere gravity temperature and surface features Understand the movement of planetary bodies Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds . Getting a big picture of the universe as a whole is a difficult challenge for professional astronomers as well as for students but its a challenge that has occupied humanity for ages To understand the vast ranges of scale of cosmic systems the stu While new planet discoveries have been reported from time to time, known as exoplanets [9][10], nonetheless discovery of new planetoids in the solar system are very interesting, because they are found An Enrichment For High-Achieving Students. 2015-2016. What is Discoveries Unlimited or D.U.?.       . Discoveries Unlimited is designed as an academically enriched time for high achievers. It is a wonderful opportunity to increase the quality of learning, the quantity of challenging experiences and extend the curriculum. Discoveries Unlimited classes meet for 45 minutes twice a week. Students will be challenged to expand thinking skills in these areas. Implementation & Validation Phase. Isobel Hook. Jean-Philippe Beaulieu . 1. Euclid’s time-domain data.

Two discoveries of early human relatives, one in 1924 and one in 2003, radically changed scientific thinking about our origins. Dean Falk, a pioneer in the field of human brain evolution, offers this fast-paced insider\'s account of these discoveries, the behind-the-scenes politics embroiling the scientists who found and analyzed them, and the academic and religious controversies they generated. The first is the Taung child, a two-million-year-old skull from South Africa that led anatomist Raymond Dart to argue that this creature had walked upright and that Africa held the key to the fossil ancestry of our species. The second find consisted of the partial skeleton of a three-and-a-half-foot-tall woman, nicknamed Hobbit, from Flores Island, Indonesia. She is thought by scientists to belong to a new, recently extinct species of human, but her story is still unfolding. Falk, who has studied the brain casts of both Taung and Hobbit, reveals new evidence crucial to interpreting both discoveries and proposes surprising connections between this pair of extraordinary specimens. Soviet Robots in the Solar Systemprovides a history of the Soviet robotic lunar and planetary exploration program from its inception, with the attempted launch of a lunar impactor on September 23, 1958, to the last launch in the Russian national scientific space program in the 20th Century, Mars 96, on November 16, 1996. This title makes a unique contribution to understanding the scientific and engineering accomplishments of the Soviet Union s robotic space exploration enterprise from its infancy to its demise with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Theauthors provide a comprehensive account of Soviet robotic exploration of the Solar System for both popular space enthusiasts and professionals in the field. Technical details and science results are provided and put into an historical and political perspective in a single volume for the first time. The book is divided into two parts. Part I describes the key players and the key institutions that build and operate the hardware, the rockets that provide access to space, and the spacecraft that carry out the enterprise. Part II is about putting these pieces together to enable space flight and mission campaigns. Part II is written in chronological order beginning with the first launches to the Moon. Each chapter covers a particular period when specific mission campaigns were undertaken during celestially-determined launch windows. Each chapter begins with a short overview of the flight missions that occurred during the time period and the political and historical context for the flight mission campaigns, including what the Americans were doing at the time. The bulk of each chapter is devoted to the scientific and engineering details of that flight campaign. The spacecraft and payloads are examined with as much technical detail as is available today, the progress is described, and a synopsis of the scientific result is given.
