Date Honesty
Due Agreement
5/8 _________ 1. Make a chapter reference outline of Chapter 10.
Remember, section headings get Roman Numerals (I, II, III, IV),
red headings get capital letters (A, B, C), and blue headings
get numbers (1, 2, 3).
4/20 _________ 2. Read Chapter 10, Section 1, pages 328 – 333. Complete the
Section Review #2 – 7 on page 333.
4/22 _________ 3. Read Chapter 10, Section 2, pages 334 – 340. Complete the
Section Review #2 – 10 on page 341.
4/20 _________ 4. Make a Key Term Fold. Write the words from page 328 (5
words) and 334 (5 words) on the front and write the respective
definitions on the inside. Use a black pen and write neatly.
5/8 _________ 5. The H-R Diagram is used to classify stars into different
types. Use the link in the General Science Extras page to find
a copy of the H-R diagram. Draw your own H-R- diagram and use
it to explain how temperature is related to the color of a
star.
5/8 _________ 6. Before beginning this assignment, write down your
predictions: 1) What is a Tuning Fork Diagram? and 2) How do we
classify galaxies? Then find the diagram on the Extras page.
Draw your own Tuning Fork diagram. Also explain what the
letters E, S, and SB mean. You may have to do some research on-
line to find the answers. You may do this entire assignment by
hand.
5/8 _________ 7. Using a ruler draw a square that is one inch by one inch.
Using a pen or pencil, put as many dots in the square as you
can in one minute. Do this three times. Keep careful count of
how many dots you make each time. Then look up the information
in your book for the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
How many square inches would you have to make to equal the
number of stars in our galaxy? How long would it take to make
all those dots? These are math problems. Show your work. You
may do this entire assignment by hand.
5/8 _________ 8. This assignment is on the following page. Complete each
part. Remember to type complete-sentence answers when you
answer questions.
5/8 _________ 9. On nine 3 X 5 note cards, compile information of the nine
planets. You do not need to write this in complete sentences.
Key words are acceptable for this assignment. Some information
will be in your book. There is other information in Mr. Van’s
room, in other books, and on line. Mr. Van included a site to
visit. This assignment is worth double points.
For a ‘C’ (35 points max) include:
-position from sun, distance from sun, diameter, and number
of moons.
For a ‘B’ (40 points max) include:
-all of ‘C’ plus: temperatures and atmospheric makeup.
For an ‘A’ (50 points max) include:
-all of ‘B’ plus: planet symbols, origins of planets’
names, some of the moons’ names.
For extra credit, also include any other information unique to
that planet.
These assignments are due May 8.
There will be a vocabulary quiz on April 29.
There will be a chapter quiz on May 13.

Assignment 8 Name: ____________________
You and a partner will make two models and answer one question. The first
model will require a 7-meter strip of register paper (see Mr. Van). The
second model will require a ½ sheet of poster board.
Model 1: Make a sun at one end (no larger than 2 cm) of the 7-meter register
paper and draw the planets at their appropriate distances. Use color and be
neat. Write both your names on the register paper behind the sun.
Model 2: Draw each of the planets (8 planets and 3 dwarf planets) on the
poster board. Use a compass to draw them. You may want to cut circles from
paper to plan out how to draw all eleven planets on the poster board. It’s a
bit of a challenge. Again, use color and be neat. Write both your names on
the poster.
ALSO: Why don’t we combine both models onto one model? Type up your answer
and hand it in with both models.
Planets model 1 model 2
Mercury distance: 3.9 cm from the sun radius: 0.4 cm
Venus distance: 7.2 cm from the sun radius: 0.9 cm
Earth distance: 10 cm from the sun radius: 1.0 cm
Mars distance: 15.2 cm from the sun radius: 0.5 cm
Jupiter distance: 52 cm from the sun radius: 10.8 cm
Saturn distance: 95.4 cm from the sun radius: 8.9 cm
Uranus distance: 191.9 cm from the sun radius: 4.0 cm
Neptune distance: 300.7 cm from the sun radius: 3.8 cm
Dwarf Planets model 1 model 2
Ceres distance: 25 cm from the sun diameter: 1 mm
Pluto distance: 394.8 cm from the sun radius: 0.2 cm
Eris distance: 688 cm from the sun radius: 0.2 cm
