Solar System Concept map
100 points
We’re going to do another concept map but this one will be a
little different from the Plate Tectonics concept map. This is going to be a
visual concept map.
First,
get an 11×17 piece of paper. If you don’t have a piece that big you can make
one by taping two 8.5×11 (that’s normal size) pieces together. Draw the
Sun, the 8 planets and the asteroid belt as much to scale as possible (in terms
of size and distance from the Sun) on the piece of paper. Note: you CANNOT draw the solar system to scale
and still expect it to be visible. But as you draw think about which planets
are larger, which are smaller, which are tightly spaced and which are far from
each other. And draw so that those relationships are visible.Now
labeling, label everything you can possibly think of about each planet. We want
this concept map to include everything any reasonable person could want to know
about the solar system. Some things to think about. NamePeriod of rotationPeriod of revolutionJovian or terrestrial?Distance from the sunAtmosphere?SizeMoons?Rings?Anything interesting about that particular planetLarge
volcanoesBig red
spotsOrbits on
its sideRunaway
greenhouse atmosphere
I’m not saying label it with these things, I’m saying label it
with every possible thing you can think of. This should help you see and make
sense of patterns in the solar system. Feel free to be creative, get some
colored pencils and do it in color if you want. Draw little spaceships and
aliens if you want. Have all the fun you want with it. The important thing is
to get the information on there so you’ve worked with it, you can see it and
your brain can assimilate it. (resistance is futile)
Once you’ve finished your concept map photograph it (Note: it
might take more than one picture to do it justice) and submit your photos to
the drop box. THEN hang the concept map on your wall in all its glory for
everyone to see and admire and for you to study from.
