What you MUST know! The phases of the Moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. The phases include new, crescent, quarter, gibbous, and full moon. Solar eclipses occur when the moon blocks sunlight from Earths’ surface Lunar eclipses occur when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moons’ surface. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull by the earth Sun and Moon. Tides cause a periodic rise and fall of sea level twice daily.

What you MUST know!• The phases of the Moon are caused by its position relative

to the Earth and the Sun. • The phases include new, crescent, quarter, gibbous, and full

moon.• Solar eclipses occur when the moon blocks sunlight from

Earths’ surface• Lunar eclipses occur when Earth blocks sunlight from

reaching the Moons’ surface.• Tides are caused by the gravitational pull by the earth Sun

and Moon.• Tides cause a periodic rise and fall of sea level twice daily.

Origin and Evolution of the Universe

• SOL ES.14a, b, c, d, and e.

• Investigate and understand scientific concepts related to the origin and evolution of the universe, including; nebulae, the origin of stars and star systems, stellar evolution, galaxies, and cosmology (The Big Bang).

• Essential Questions

• What does the solar nebular theory state about the origin of the solar system?

• How do stars form?• What characteristics are used to classify stars on the H-R

diagram?• What is our best current model of the origin of the universe?

Page 12: What you MUST know! The phases of the Moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. The phases include new, crescent, quarter, gibbous,

What you MUST know!• The solar nebular theory is our best current

hypothesis for the origin of the solar system.• The solar nebular theory explains that our solar

system was formed by a rotating nebula from which the Sun and the planets developed.

• The dense concentrations of gas at the center of the disk eventually became the Sun.

• The terrestrial planets were formed from the elements that were able to condense close to the Sun.

• While the Jovian (gas giants) planets formed from elements that condensed farther from the Sun, where it was cooler.

What you MUST know!• Stars form wherever dense clouds of interstellar gas

and dust (called nebula) exist and collapse under the influence of gravity.

• Stars have a finite lifetime and evolve over time. • The mass of a star controls its evolution, lifetime,

and ultimate fate. • A star changes as it ages because its composition

changes.• This happens as nuclear fusion reactions in its core

convert elements to another.• All stars start by burning Hydrogen to Helium.

What you MUST know!

• Our solar system has only one star, the Sun. But more than half of all stars are members of groups of two or more stars (like Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B). Stars systems with two stars are double or binary stars, those with three are triple star systems.

• The Hertzsprund-Russel (H-R) diagram illustrates the relationship between absolute magnitude and the surface temperature of stars. As stars evolve, their position moves on the H-R diagram.

What you MUST know!

• The main characterizes used to classify stars are size, temperature, and brightness.

• Red giants, blue giants, white dwarfs, and yellow dwarfs can be plotted on the H-R diagram according to their brightness and surface temperature.

What you MUST know!• Galaxies are collections of billions of

stars.• The solar system is located in the Milky

Way galaxy.• The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy.• The basic types of galaxies are spiral,

elliptical, and irregular.

Universe

Page 26: What you MUST know! The phases of the Moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. The phases include new, crescent, quarter, gibbous,

What you MUST know!• Cosmology is the study of the origin and process of

the formation of the universe.• There are different theories that explain the

creation of the but, the Big Bang theory, is our best current model.

• The Big Bang theory states that the universe began as a dense sphere that expanded and eventually condensed into galaxies.

• By observing galaxies moving away from each other, astronomers have concluded that the universe is expanding

Page 27: What you MUST know! The phases of the Moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. The phases include new, crescent, quarter, gibbous,

Red Shifts indicate the universe is expanding outward. This is used to support the Big Bang

Theory • Red shifted = lower frequency = lower pitch

light emitted by a source moving away from the observer

What you MUST know!• Distances on Earth are often measured in

units such as kilometers, but distances to stars are so large that we use a unit of measure called a light-year.

• A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, about 9.5 trillion kilometers.

• Much of our information about our galaxy and the universe comes from ground-based observations.
