Solar System Formation Cause-And-Effect Flow Chart-Earth Science Lessons Preview

June 18, 2014 by Bill WIlkinson

Posted in: Earth & Space Science Lessons, Preview, _space

The purpose of this graphic organizer is to get your students to analyze and interact with information that, by itself in a textbook, is cold, seemingly endless, and close to impossible to understand.

Besides presenting how our solar system might have formed, this cause-and-effect flow chart also reinforces the whole concept of science, which is the study of how/why things happen. We (the earth and our surrounding solar system) are here, so there must be a reason. Instead of assuming the reasons for this are un-knowable, what this lesson does is suggest one way the solar system formation might have happened. And, would you believe, even though these steps are highly over-simplified, they still makes sense!?!?

Get ready to think big! We’re going to turn your classroom into a “living” inner solar system. Best part- students will notice things before you say anything.  They’ll also wonder things they’ve never wondered before.

May 18, 2012 by Bill WIlkinson

Posted in: Earth & Space Science Lessons, Preview, _space

Comets and asteroids capture our imagination with their unbelievable size (did you say a 50-mile-wide flying ice cube?!?!), and terrify us with the thought of what would happen should we (earth) and they meet, which we do with regularity.

Our sun, with a mass that consumes 99.86% of everything in our solar system, is beyond enormous. But how do you actually grasp that? Simple- you draw a box.
