Mr. Kearney's Space Unit
SNC1D1
Big Ideas
Different types of celestial objects in the solar system and universe have distinct properties that can be investigated and quantified.
People use observational evidence of the properties of the solar system and the universe to develop theories to explain their formation and evolution.
Space exploration has generated valuable knowledge but at enormous cost.
