Comparing the Universe with the Solar System.  \n2. Describing the Universe.  \nVOCABULARY:  \ngalaxy  \nnebula  \nplanet  \nplasma  \nSolar System  \nstar  \nUniverse  \nMATERIALS:  \ncrayons  \nThe Sky is Full of Stars by F. Branley  \nworksheet  \nBACKGROUND:  \nThe Universe is everything students see in the night sky, and more that they don't see! Remember students do not have to understand objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies. It is enough that they can begin recognizing the components of the Universe. Current evidence suggests that there is only one Universe that has evolved over the last 15 billion years. There are many doubts about specific \"facts\" on the Universe because it is \"untouchable\" by humans.  \nThe Universe is the big picture; every component within the Universe (like the stars) is a subset. The Universe is not empty, but is full of dynamically evolving objects. Stars can be considered “burning” gases of helium and hydrogen that give off heat, light, and plasma. Plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the Universe; it can be explained as free electrons in an excited energy state. The “glow” in a fluorescent light bulb is an example of plasma. Stars have a life cycle; they are born, burn for millions to billions of years, and eventually die out.  \nOther objects in the Universe include galaxies, nebulas, dark matter, other solar systems, asteroids, and comets. Stars that are close together and rotate as a unit are called a galaxy. Our Sun is part of the Milky Way Galaxy. A nebula is a cloud of gas and  \ndust. Nebulas may form when stars explode as supernovas. Stars may also be “born” in nebulas. Asteroids are chunks of rock left over from the formation of the Solar System. Similarly, comets are balls of ice and minerals left over from the creation of the Sun and planets. We see them glowing in the night sky when they orbit close to the Sun and heat up, throwing off glowing tails. A solar system is an arrangement of planets around a central star or stars. Our Solar System includes the Sun, the nine planets, their associated moons, and countless asteroids and comets. There have been mathematical observations of other planetary systems in the late 1990's. Dark matter is just what it sounds like: material that is not visible by ordinary means. Astronomers hypothesize that dark matter exists because their work suggests that too little visible matter exists to account for the gravity and mass of the Universe.  \nPROCEDURE:  \n1. This lesson starts your students on a voyage to understanding the Universe. They have seen the night sky and they probably have always asked questions about the sky. You may want to start this lesson with some oral communication skills. Ask the students to tell the class what they think is in the night sky. You may want to list some of their key observations which should include stars, moons, twinkles, and sometime even UFO’s!  \n2. After the discussion on what the children have observed, describe the Universe for students. Emphasize that we are still learning about what makes up the Universe. Weare far from knowing everything about it.
