6A - Science (Academies of Math & Science) //www.amsschools.org/apps/classes/928059/assignments/ Class Name: 6A - Science Instructor(s): Denis Valyo en-us SchoolSitePro <![CDATA[Due: 04/13/2020]]> //www.amsschools.org/homeworkItem5383798 //www.amsschools.org/apps/classes/928059/assignments/ This assignment is to watch two videos, and take notes you will be using next week for another project.

The Solar System was formed when a cloud of gas floating in space was compressed, or squeezed together, possibly by the explosion of a star. Remember: Gravity is a force that attracts every object or matter towards other objects or matter. Because things with more mass have a stronger force of gravity, the parts of the cloud that got compressed pulled more gas in towards the center... oooh, sorry. Spoilers. For the rest of the story, watch the video titled "Space Place in a Snap." https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/learn/video/space-place-in-a-snap-the-solar-systems-formation/ Then watch the second video called "A Perfect Planet." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mcC8kFacrk

As you watch the videos, I want you keep notes using the Google Form called "Video Notes- Formation of the Solar System" (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdzjU2D4guv5YcG71vuH9jG7EBv2AMHN6ZnlilOZwPOnOFZBw/viewform?authuser=1) and submit the answers. Do a good job: Next week, you'll be using those answers to do a poster project.

(If you want a head start, you can watch the third video, "Google Slides For Kids - Episode 1." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfpneIqnXTE It walks you through building a simple slideshow about yourself. Your assignment next Monday will be to create a Google Slide presentation using the notes from today's videos and some images and ideas I'll supply.)

Objective- Students will identify the source of material that was used in the creation of the Solar System, and be able to explain what ignited the Sun and started that process.
Arizona State Standard 6.E2U1.7 - Use ratios and proportions to analyze and interpret data related to scale, properties, and relationships among objects in our solar system.
