Students will
1. understand how scaling factors can be used to make representations of astronomical distances;
2. learn how to write and solve equations that relate real distance measurements to scaled representations of the distances; and
3. understand how the use of scientific notation makes calculations involving large numbers easier to manage.
Students will
* learn about NASA’s options for its space program;
* research which option may be the most viable; and
* make a recommendation based on research
# At some time in the future, there likely will be cities in space.
# The first of these cities will probably be lunar based, Mars based, or space based (orbiting Earth).
Students investigate the facts behind the story of Betsy Ross.
Students follow directions to make five-point stars like the ones on the American flag.
