Article 1

The Case for Mars

By Alexander Fisher

A mission to Mars should be the next step for NASA. There are many reasons why going to Mars isimportant. First, Mars is the most likely planet for us to colonize. No matter how expensive, we need to workon getting there as soon as possible. Furthermore, the technology that we would need to develop to sendhumans to Mars would directly benefit our economy here on Earth. Just look at the money-making productsthat have already resulted from NASA’s space efforts: invisible braces, water filters, cordless vacuums, to namejust a few.

Although we have already sent robots to Mars, robots can’t take the place of humans when it comes tostudying the planet. A robot may break down. Also, it takes robots much longer to cover the same amount ofground than it would a human. Think how much faster we could learn about the planet if we sent humans towork alongside the robots!

Finally, claims that there will be significant health problems for people who travel to Mars are wrong. Studieshave shown that radiation levels on Mars are not lethal to humans. Sure, we would have to live in a dome atfirst, but over time, we could use science to change the atmosphere and make it possible to go outside, justlike on Earth! The choice is clear. We need to go to Mars now!

Article 2

Mars—A Waste of Time and Money

By Juniper Springs

While it might be fun to imagine traveling to Mars one day, now is not the time to go. For one thing, it is toodangerous. The atmosphere of the planet is more carbon dioxide than oxygen, and it’s very cold. While thereare claims that the radiation levels on the planet are not lethal to humans, that does not mean they aren’tdangerous. We don’t yet know what the long-term health effects will be. As of now, we do not have a solutionfor this problem. It is foolish to think a dome would be able to protect us from all of the radiation.

It would also be impossible to build one large enough to house as many people as would want to go. Also,going to Mars will be expensive. Why spend money traveling to a planet that is so dangerous and far away?That money could be better spent addressing problems here on Earth.

Furthermore, it is unwise to think any inventions that come about as a result of our race to Mars would makeup for the cost of getting there. We are already able to send robots to Mars. It won’t be long until ourtechnology is so advanced that a robot will be able to do the same tasks as a human. It is not necessary to goto Mars right now.

A Different ViewPeople often see things in different ways. You might describe a shirt as “good-looking,” whereas yourfriend thinks it is “hideous.” Perhaps you both agree the shirt is nice but for different reasons.

Just as a shirt can be perceived in different ways, authors writing about the same subject may have verydifferent views about it. One author may be staunchly opposed to school uniforms for the individualitythey take away, while another may suggest that school uniforms keep the focus on academics ratherthan fashion.

If, however, authors share a similar viewpoint, such as agreeing that the shirt in the above example is“nice” or that school uniforms are not a good idea, they may still cite very different evidence to supporttheir viewpoint.

An author’s viewpoint is valid or worth consideration as long as the position issupported with sound reasoning. Often, this means including facts and information that show anauthor has thoroughly studied the subject he or she is writing on. When you are researching a topic,you may find resources that differ in what they say about the topic. That’s okay! You will gain a morewell-rounded understanding of the topic by considering these different perspectives, but you may needto look closer to determine which perspective is most valid.

EvidenceAuthors use different kinds of evidence to support their views. Some provide hard facts that appeal to areader’s sense of logic. Others share powerful examples that, while based on logic, appeal to a reader’semotions.

When providing evidence, authors writing about the same topic may refer to similar issues that surroundit. Sometimes the views they express on these issues will be the same; other times, they will be different. Ineither the case, authors often do not address issues in the same order. It helps to have a way to organize theinformation presented in each text so that you can identify each author’s perspective and where they agreeor disagree.

Warp Speed It happens in most sci-fi movies. At some point, the spaceship needs to get some place fast. "Warp speed," exclaims the pilot. But what is warp speed? Is it even possible? Warp speed refers to the ability to go faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second. In comparison, a car moving at 75 miles per hour is only moving 0.02 miles per second. That's a huge difference in speed. The fastest speed attained on Earth is only around 36,000 miles per second. One of the fastest runners, Olympian Usain Bolt, has clocked 0.007 miles per second. It is not yet possible for us to travel faster than light.

Light travels super fast; but it still takes a long time to travel between objects in space. This is because distances between objects in space are enormous. When you turn on your TV or a lamp, you see the light immediately. The distance between your eyes and the light source is so short, light travels between the two almost instantaneously. However, the sun and Earth are very far away in space. Light takes about 500 seconds to reach Earth when it leaves the sun.

Knowing the time it takes for light to travel between objects can help us determine distances in space.

We can determine the distance to the sun using the time light takes to get to Earth. Just multiply the speed of light by the amount of time it takes light to get to Earth. That's 500 seconds.

186,282 miles per second x 500 seconds = 93,141,000 miles

The sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth. It will take our fastest space shuttle moving at a constant maximum speed about 108 days to travel this same distance.

Light Years Away Distances in space can be measured in common units of length, such as miles or kilometers. But measuring such large distances in these common units creates some pretty big numbers. It's easier to measure distances in two alternate units of distance—light years and astronomical units.ght Year

The term light year might already be familiar to you. Maybe you heard it in a sci-fi movie. For example, "We're light years away from Earth, Captain!" Unlike a traditional year, which is a measurement of time, a light year is a measurement of distance. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. 1 light year = 5.879 trillion miles, or 9.461 trillion kilometers Astronomical Unit An astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of measurement equal to the average distance from the center of Earth to the center of the sun. 1 astronomical unit = 92,900,000 miles, or 149,600,000 kilometers The light year is a larger measurement than the AU. As you can see, it is much easier for scientists to use astronomical units (AU) or light years than miles for space distances. Writing out the large numbers that result from using miles or kilometers for space distances can take more

time. It is similar to when we use feet to measure things around the house and miles to measure larger distances outside. Scientists use the unit of measurement that is most convenient to what they are measuring. Though the light year is common, sometimes scientists can use the light second or the light minute for shorter distances in space. Check out how some of these large distances in our solar system compare to each other.

The closest star system to our solar system is Alpha Centauri. It is approximately 4.4 light years away from Earth. This means that light from that star system takes 4.4 years to travel from Alpha Centauri to Earth. Our own Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years across.

So, for measurements in the solar system, use of astronomical units seems more appropriate. You can easily compare the relative distances of each planet from the sun. For example, Neptune is about 30 times farther from the sun than Earth is because its distance is 30.20 AU.

However, when discussing distances to objects beyond the solar system, the light year comes in handy.

Summary The number of astronomical bodies in the universe is more than numerous. It's almost inconceivable. In this lesson, you learned about some important astronomical bodies and their hierarchal relationship to one another. Planets and their stars form star (solar) systems, billions of stars form a galaxy, and galaxies are spread throughout the universe. And we, on this tiny planet Earth, are but a tiny speck within the universe.

Assessment 1. It would take one light year to travel to the sun.

True

False

2. The speed of light can be used to measure the _______.

A. time of a planet's rotation

B. distance between objects in space

C. mass of astronomical bodies

D. densities of stars

3. Which of the following statements is true about a light year?

A. It is the distance to Alpha Centauri.

B. It is shorter than the astronomical unit.

C. It is used to measure long periods of time.

D. It is used to measure long distances in space.

Physical Geography AMI Packet

Physical geography is the spatial study of natural phenomena that make up the

environment, such as rivers, mountains, landforms, weather, climate, soils, plants, and any other

physical aspects of the earth’s surface. Physical geography focuses on geography as a form of

earth science. It tends to emphasize the main physical parts of the earth—the lithosphere (surface

layer), the atmosphere (air), the hydrosphere (water), and the biosphere (living organisms)—and

the relationships between these parts.

Earth is divided into 4 main parts:

Lithosphere: the mostly solid, rocky part of Earth

● Divided into three compositional layers: crust, mantle, and core

Hydrosphere: the part of Earth that is liquid water

● 97% of Earth’s water is saltwater from oceans

● Oceans cover 71% of Earth’s surface

● Includes freshwater in lakes, rivers, marshes, rain, water in clouds, groundwater

Atmosphere: invisible gases that surround Earth

● 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% Other Gases

● Keeps Earth warm, protects from UV rays, burns up space debris and meteors

Biosphere: made up of living things and areas of Earth where they are found

● Includes plants, animals, bacteria, and areas that support life.
