Atronomy lesson TED
This astronomy lesson will be for 9th grade, the purpose
of this lesson is to teach students to use critical thinking as well as
understand the basic properties about the solar system and the universe. Nobody
truely understands how the universe works, and this is why the student will
learn to use critical thinking to develop his or her own theory of how the
universe works. The video begins by explaining the origins of the universe, as
well as how the terrestial planets are closer to the sun and jovian planets,
being the gas planets are in the outer part of the solar system. This way the
student will understand how solar systems can be organized. The video will help
the student see examples of stars and see begin to develop the relation of how
light travels through out the universe. When learning about the universe it is
important for the student to see a visual representation of the solar system.
This is because currently scientist do not have actual pictures of black holes
and many pictures that we see on the internet are actually artist impressions
of galaxies or planets. The video will help the student understand, engage in
developing a theory of how solar systems works, and explain to the classroom
why they think their example occurs in a black hole. I think the best videos
are the ones that are available to use in the internet, which is the one i will
be using. The main idea is that the student will be encouraged in the lesson
because as of yet their is no wrong answer of what happens inside a blackhole,
nor a definitive pattern of how a solar system is shaped. This is important
because it will encourage a student to develop their own model and theory of
planets and the universe. This lesson will inspire a students inner scientist,
and encourage them to think critically of the universe. This can lead to the
student even challenging popular theories of the universe and how they work.
This will also help students relate the universe with art and mathematics and
see the mathematical beauty of the universe and its symmetry. The video will
also aid the student in understanding the similiarities they can see in their
planets what they can see in planets, stars, and shapes of galaxies. This way
the student can develop an idea of how the universe is connected.
Hello Fred: Your video is awesome and I believe your students will received alive vision and understand how the solar system works. I also like the way videos make the science more enjoyable and connect the students to the real world. Thanks to the videos teaching is more fun Wow!

ResponderBorrarThe Science video is a strong visual influence to your 9th grade students. The information on the video will be a great resource for the students to develop their own theory of a black hole. With The TED-Ed video accessible, where students can refer back for information is essential since science can be a hard subject for students. I think even for me as a teacher Science is hard to explain to students but a video can be an extra resource for me to have and students can watch and listen for themselves if needed to come back to the video to answer questions or finish an assignment. I truly think students will connect with science once we expose them to these type of informational videos.
Frederick,
ResponderBorrarI love your idea for using TedEd for a science project. I think it is awesome to give your students an assignment where there is no wrong answer. This allows students to get creative and really think about what their personal thoughts are regarding the solar system. How exciting for them!!!
