Homework:- Complete rockets (launch is THIS FRIDAY!!!!)- Understand how Newton’s Third Law of Motion
makes YOUR particular rocket work!Warm UP:With your shoulder partner, discuss what you know
about the center of our solar system? Is the sun the only star in the sky? Do you know the names of any other stars in the sky?

Goal for Today
• SWBAT demonstrate an understanding of the characteristic of stars by exploring the sun as an example and looking at examples of other stars.

Types of Stars
![Page 12: Today is Wednesday, June 5 th , 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815f75550346895dce7b27/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Factors that affect the brightness of a star as seen from Earth:
• Size• Distance from Earth• Temperature
– Red is the coolest (but generally the largest in volume)
– Orange and yellow are slightly hotter– White or blue-white stars are the hottest

WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION!!!)
