Palmer's Science Second
Galaxies and Stars!
Finishing up our Space unit!
The students have learned a lot of new information these last few weeks and have been showing what they know in a variety of labs. We will be taking our test on Thursday and then start preparing for our Benchmark test before we release for Christmas break. Our science Benchmark will begin next Wednesday, December 14th.
Analyzing spectral data of distant stars
Students determined the composition of stars based on their spectroscope data.
Creating their own HR diagram
Table groups worked together to create an HR diagram using data from known stars.
Comparing our findings
Each group compared their findings and we were able to determine trends in the data.
Homework and Extra Credit due this Thursday. Universe Test Thursday as well!
We are nearing Christmas break and there are a ton of school and family activities going on. Please make sure that if your child misses school they pick up their make-up work and turn it in in a timely manner. They must check the absent work file at the front of the classroom to collect their missed work and check Schoology for quizzes or discussions.
