Jupiter and Saturn - Bridge Activity

Science

Project for January 24, 29 & 30?
Will be due January 31st

Now that we have learned about the inner planets, let's start to learn about the 4 outer planets.  We started this in the episode of The Universe that we watched on Jan 23.  From that episode, we know that both Saturn and Jupiter were instrumental in how our solar system took shape.  Now we will continue it by learning more about Jupiter and Saturn in a bridge activity.  We'll be using the science textbook, some videos, as well as NASA's website about each planet.

When you are done, share something that you thought was interesting or important as a comment on this post.  Then share your bridge activity with me!

Saturn/Jupiter Bridge Activity

Warm up for January 30

Jupiter  - Show me when you get a 5/5.  Then move on to Saturn.
Saturn - Show me when you get a 5/5.  Then work on your Bridge Activity.

  3. I thought it was cool that Europa's surface is mostly water ice and there is evidence that it might be covering ocean of water or slushy ice benthe.

  4. I think the fact that Jupiter has a hurricane the size of about two Earth's if cool. And that the fact that is over 300 years old. AND it is pretty cool that the size of Jupiter is ENORMOUS, but the core is only about the size of Earth.

  5. Facts

    Jupiter: The red spot is an atmospheric storm that has been raging in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere for at least 400 years.

    Saturn: That there is no life on Saturn because There is no life on Saturn because if there is some kind of life, it would have to endure conditions that life from Earth could not possibly survive because there is too much fungus, bacteria.

  9. I thought this was cool if the sun were as tall as a typical front door, earth would be as small as a nickel and saturn would be big as a basketball. Also it was interesting to me that there might be life on Saturn's moons.

  11. Jupiter:Jupiter is has at least 63 MOONS!Ganymede is the biggest moon for Jupiter.
    Saturn:I think that it was a good theory that a moon that surrounded Saturn crumpled into little peices and traves around the planet in a ring like shape.
