Activity FourConstellation Cardio

Design a Game

Based on your readings of constellations, you will design a game that

can be played by a gym class that incorporates star patterns.

Need more help? Think about using people, pylons or other equipment

to map out a constellation on the gym fl oor. Now, turn this into a

game! How might a game of tag be incorporated with these stars? Or

dodgeball? Be creative.

STEP ONE

Design your game. Plan for the materials you will

need. Be sure you have a clear understanding of the

objective and have thought about what rules will be

needed to make the game run smoothly and safely.

Draw a sketch of the gym set-up.

The Starscientists estimate that there are

trillions of stars in the universe. You

could probably see about 3,000

of them on a clear night if you live in the

country. Did you know that stars have a life cycle, just like living things? They are born,

they grow up, and then they die. A star

begins as a cloud of gas and dust, called a

nebula. As the cloud moves around, it picks

up more and more gas and dust. Picture a

snowball rolling down a hill and getting bigger and bigger. The star gets really big and hot;

eventually it runs out of gas and burns out. The burnt out star will blow up, shrink or go cold.

This whole cycle can take billions of years to happen.

There are many types of stars. The Sun is a star called a yellow dwarf. It may seem funny to

think of the Sun as a “dwarf” because it seems so much bigger than other stars. Did you know

that the Sun is actually much smaller than most stars? It just looks bigger because it is closer

to the Earth. Except for our Sun, stars are not part of our solar system because they are so far

away. They are part of the universe.

Blue stars are much bigger than yellow stars, so they are called blue giants. They are very

bright and very hot. When they die, they grow larger and larger and then explode into a

supernova. Supernovas are so bright that they can be seen from very far away. There are

even bigger stars than blue giants. They are called super giant stars. The largest one you

can see with your bare eyes is Betelgeuse. It is 700 times bigger than the Sun.

5. What is a supernova?

Research & Extensions6. When some super giant stars die, they leave behind a black hole. You may have heard

of black holes in science fiction novels, video games, movies, or on television shows.

a) Conduct enough research on black holes using print and/or Internet resources to

learn five interesting points. Record your five points on the Star Organizer on the next

page.

b) Organize your five points into a paragraph that explains what a black hole is.

Remember to start your paragraph with a topic sentence, then add the details and

finish with a concluding statement. Use the Organizer on page 32 to help you.

c) Create a comic strip that includes a black hole in the storyline. You will need to think

about what kind of action could take place around a black hole, and then create

characters and write a plot for your story. Present it as a 3 to 5-section comic strip.

WEB CONNECTIONTo learn more about the Hubble Space Telescope, search the Internet using the words “Hubble telescope”. See if you can find pictures of what the sky looks like through the Hubble Space Telescope. Also, look for information on how to make your own telescope!

In this activity, you will have the chance to make predictions about how traditional toys will work in space. In scientifi c experiments, we call these predictions hypotheses. Then, you will have a chance to observe the toys at work and draw a conclusion. These steps are part of the scientifi c process.

Many of the toys that we play with on Earth work well because gravity helps them to function. Have you ever wondered how toys might work in zero gravity conditions? Some toys might be more fun, and some might be less! Complete the fi rst three columns of this chart. Then, go to: http://observe.arc.nasa.gov/nasa/exhibits/toys_space/toyframe.html to watch the toys at work. Complete the fi nal two columns after you watch each toy.
