Table-top Models. ...to simulate what the Kepler Mission does. The Kepler Mission Education team has produced table top models demonstrating the principle of how Kepler will find extrasolar planets by the transit method. Components include: Orrery† (model planet system), Light (model star), Light sensor†† (model Kepler photometer), Computer interface (model Deep Space Network), and Computer graphic software (model Kepler Science Office) † The 1st orrery we created was one made of LEGO parts, described on this page. Sections on this page: FOSS Orrery - K'NEX Orrery - LEGO Orrery - Dierking model - Paper Model FOSS Orrery This is a ready-made two-planet orrery with handcrank (see K'NEX Orrery In spring of 2015, Ryan Mohta, 8th grade student at Hyde Middle School in Cupertino, CA, created a model using K'NEX and Java programming to demonstrate how exoplanets are found using the transit method.

Un modello del Sistema Solare con Scratch | omStaD. Classe: dalla quinta primaria alla seconda della secondaria di primo grado, ma proponibile anche in altre classi modificando obiettivi e approfondimentiObiettivi: come si può realizzare un modello di un fenomeno? Se si utilizza un particolare strumento di modellazione ci saranno limitazioni al modello? Bisognerà sacrificare qualcosa? Fare ipotesi e avere intuizioni. Questo progetto si propone di aiutare i ragazzi a rispondere a queste domande e a trovare connessioni tra le materie e riuscire a tradurre in istruzioni le forze in gioco dei fenomeni.Materie: scienze, tecnologia, matematica, storia, lettere,… Descrizione Una simulazione con alcuni limiti dovuti allo strumento e alle dimensioni del fenomeno da analizzare.
Un’impostazione comunque scientifica, un approccio che permette di lavorare da scienziati con la consapevolezza di dover procedere ad alcune semplificazioni partendo sempre da dati reali. Inizio presentando il titolo “Eppur si muove!” La Luna? Et voilà! E poi… Il sistema solare - Lezione in JClic.

Ever wonder what you might weigh on Mars or The Moon? Here's your chance to find out. <div class="js-required"><hr> This Page requires a Javascript capable browser <hr></div> Fill in your weight below in the space indicated. You can enter your weight in any unit you wish. Click on the "Calculate" button. Mass and Weight Before we get into the subject of gravity and how it acts, it's important to understand the difference between weight and mass.
We often use the terms "mass" and "weight" interchangeably in our daily speech, but to an astronomer or a physicist they are completely different things. Weight is an entirely different thing. If you are in a spaceship far between the stars and you put a scale underneath you, the scale would read zero. The Relationship Between Gravity and Mass and Distance As stated above, your weight is a measure of the pull of gravity between you and the body you are standing on. The two "M's" on top are your mass and the planet's mass. Isaac Newton. Trading Card Top of Game - in inglese. Attività didattiche di esplorazione e gioco. Ufotto Leprotto - Alla scoperta dell'universo. Your Sky. By John Walker Welcome to Your Sky, the interactive planetarium of the Web. You can produce maps in the forms described below for any time and date, viewpoint, and observing location.
If you enter the orbital elements of an asteroid or comet, Your Sky will compute its current position and plot it on the map. Each map is accompanied by an ephemeris for the Sun, Moon, planets, and any tracked asteroid or comet. Your Sky provides three ways to view the sky with links, where appropriate, among the various presentations. Sky Map The sky map shows the entire sky as viewed from a given location at a specified time and date.
To make a sky map, enter the latitude and longitude of your observing site in the boxes below (be sure to check the correct “North/South” and “East/West” settings) and press the “Make Sky Map” button below the form.
