Telescopes and space-based observation tools allow humans to observe and study objects in space. Telescopes use lenses and mirrors to collect electromagnetic radiation and produce magnified images. The largest optical telescopes are in Hawaii, with an even larger one currently under construction. Space-based tools like satellites, probes, and rovers have been launched to observe space without atmospheric interference and visit other celestial bodies. The Voyager probes left our solar system, carrying messages about humanity. The International Space Station is an orbiting laboratory built from parts delivered by shuttles and rockets.Mission space

Artificial satellites are human-made objects that orbit Earth and other planets. They are used to study planets, help with communications, and observe the universe. Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite launched in 1957. Other notable satellites include Luna 2, the first to reach the moon, and Vanguard 1, the longest-living satellite still in space. Space probes like Voyager 1 have explored other planets and space beyond our solar system. The International Space Station is a modular space station in low Earth orbit operated by various space agencies. There are two main theories for the origin and evolution of the universe: the Big Bang theory and the Steady State theory.Space

The document summarizes the history of astronomy and space exploration from ancient Greek theories of Aristotle to modern missions. It describes Aristotle's geocentric model and how Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton developed the heliocentric model and laws of motion and gravity. Later sections discuss Edwin Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe, Stephen Hawking's work on black holes and the origin of the universe, and Soviet/Russian achievements including Sputnik, Gagarin's flight, and Voyager probes. The document concludes with a brief overview of Mars missions and the future potential of further exploration.NASA Achievements - Past, Present and Future

Hipparchus created the first accurate star map around 130 BC. Galileo used the first telescope in 1609 to discover Jupiter's moons and study the sun. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit Earth in 1957. Yuri Gagarin became the first human in orbit in 1961. NASA landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon in 1969. Voyager 1 is the farthest man-made object in space, launched in 1977. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and has provided the deepest views of the universe. The International Space Station, a collaboration between several countries, began assembly in 1998. Virgin Galactic aims to offer commercial space flights to space tourists starting in the 2010sBalanced and unbalanced forces vocab
Balanced and unbalanced forces vocabKrystal Wellmann

This document defines key vocabulary terms related to forces and motion, including force, balanced forces, unbalanced forces, net force, speed, motion, and friction. Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces do change motion. Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. Speed measures the rate of change of an object's position over time, and motion refers to changes in an object's position, direction, or location. Friction is the force between two surfaces in contact that works against motion.I have a dream !!!!!!

This document provides instructions for students to create a "diversity chain" where each student contributes 3 strips of paper listing things that make them unique and 3 things they have in common with others. It encourages students to think about differences in languages, religions, beliefs, cultures, traditions, locations, schools, jobs, hobbies and how diversity adds to the richness of humanity. The activity is meant to highlight both differences and similarities between students and celebrate diversity in the classroom.You want me to do what?? Advisory Lesson

This document provides information about bullying and tips to deal with it. It defines bullying as repeated mistreatment by someone with more power due to physical strength or social status. Bullies often target those they see as different. They may bully to feel powerful or because they were bullied themselves. The document recommends telling trusted adults, staying with friends, ignoring bullies, controlling emotions, and finding true friends for support. It also advises bullies to think about others' feelings and change their behavior, and to sincerely apologize. The overall message is that bullying hurts everyone and should stop.Space exploration facts
