The animation shows Tim and Moby standing with a starry sky in the background. The first moon landing, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the greatestmomentsin humanhistory. TIM: Farther out from the Kuiper belt is an area called the scattered disc. Astronomers believe that more than 4.5 billion years ago, an exploding star created a huge cloud of gas and dust. TIM: The moon is the sixth planet in the sky, next to the sun between Mars and the Earth. The other shows an even a closer view, in which floating rocks can be seen.

It looks kind of like our moon, and it has one very hot side and one very cold side. An animation first shows the sun and several other planets surrounded by a ring of gray specks, and then zooms out to show the entire solar system, represented by light purple dots arranged in a spherical pattern against a night sky. Two inserts appear and show the rocky surface. TIM: So the search for Planet X was kind of pointless An animation shows the camera panning across stars in the night sky. (, : Why did Earth become an inner planet? (Compare/contrast; Make inferences), Timecode 4:00: Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? BrainPOP recommends reading the movie description that appears on the Solar System Topic Page to your class. Gravity drew this stuff together into clumps, eventually forming the sun and the surrounding planets. Scientists think this stuff has stayed pretty unchanged from the time the solar system first formed about four and a half billion years ago! They look smooth from a distance, but up close you can see they're made of chunks of ice and rock.

The animation zooms in on Jupiter. The upper one is labeled "Kuiper Belt" and the lower one is labeled "Oort Cloud". (, : Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? It is depicted as covered by clouds. Like Uranus, it's sometimes called an ice giant because it's so cold. Stop at the following times in the movie and ask questions or prompt a discussion to keep students focused and to assess their understanding before moving on: Timecode 1:12: Why did Earth become an inner planet?

They're called the Galilean Moons, and they're almost like little planets. Try your hand at computer programming with Creative Coding! TIM: The Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are areas in the far regions of the solar system where small bodies like comets are thought to originate. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. Jupiter is the largest of these gas giants. Another drawing shows a cluster of rocks in front of a planet at the bottom. The spherical object is labeled Oort cloud.. An animation shows a large number of rocks floating in space. TIM: On its surface, there's a permanent storm, called the Great Red Spot. An image shows Tims hand holding a typed letter. Its rocky core alone is at least 10 times bigger than Earth. In the animation, Moby looks up and then looks down. TIM: But there are tons of other objects that keep popping up in the far regions of the solar system! TIM: Thats where the solar wind gets stopped in its tracks by particles from the rest of outer space! Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts. TIM: Then there's the last one Pluto, a cold, rocky body even smaller than our own moon. Another yellow arrow labeled interstellar wind is added to extend from the Oort cloud to the line labeled heliopause.. Please enable JavaScript on your browser.

TIM: The cloud also began to spin, with the biggest clump in the center. As each condition is mentioned, four inserts show different parts of Earth: an ocean; buildings amongst trees; people; and animals. Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. TIM: Over the course of millions of years, gravity pulled the elements of this dust cloud closer and closer together until clumps began to form. As it approaches, its tail grows longer. An image is divided vertically into three equal parts and shows three round bodies of different colors decreasing in size from left to right. It's tilted so that it looks like its lying on its side! The biggest was in the center, and everything else began to spin around it. An animation shows the pale yellow planet encircled by large rings. The animation shows a large clump of ice floating in space. TIM: Comets are totally different than asteroids. Another, similar line labeled heliopause is added to the right of the line labeled termination shock, so that the arrow labeled solar wind points right to it. Its atmosphere is filled with carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. In the animation, the view changes to show Charon, Hydra, and Nix in orbit above Pluto. The animation focuses on the swirling red storm on Jupiter's surface. An earth-friendly renewable source of energy that comes to us straight from the sun! TIM: The Pioneer 10 and 11 probes have been out there even longer. Stars and other small colored objects are shown.

The animation shows a drawing of the planets traveling along circles around the sun. Explain how each is connected to the Solar System topic. Theres a stormy Great Dark Spot on Neptune thats kind of like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. It was considered the main planet until 2006 when it got demoted to a dwarf planet. Asteroids are pieces of rock centimeters to hundreds of kilometers wide. (, Look at the four related movies at the bottom of the page. A robot, Moby, wipes the end of the telescope with a dust cloth. Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. TIM: Sure. It's way bigger than our entire planet, and it's been raging for centuries. This animated Science resource page with lesson plans and teaching tips, for Kindergarten to 3rd grade students teaches about the Sun, moons, and planets that make up our Solar System. One shows moons circling Neptune. An animation shows Mars, with two gray moons orbiting the planet. But wait, there's more! Tim is wearing a T-shirt with a drawing of planets in the center. While scanning the night sky with a pair of binoculars, Tim is interrupted by Moby, giving him a letter asking if there is a 'Planet X'. All rights reserved. The side closest to the sun glows red, while the other side is covered in ice. TIM: Well, planetary scientists arent sure whether Sedna is one of the farthest scattered disc objects or part of another region: the Oort cloud. An animation shows Earth rotating while the moon orbits around it. (Make connections), How does its distance from the Sun affect each planet in the Solar System? The next planet to the left of it is labeled Neptune.. TIM: The farthest that humans have ever gone is the moon, but several spacecraft have been to the outer regions of the solar system. An animation shows the blue-green planet with its tilted rings. An animation shows an icy comet speeding toward the sun. TIM: It also has at least three moons: Charon, Hydra, and Nix!

An animation shows Mercury rotating. What's your favorite thing out there? A cross-section of the planet shows that its core is much larger than Earth. Moby first looks up, then blinks and looks back down. TIM: The Oort cloud is a whole light-year away from the sun it takes an entire year for a ray of sunshine to reach it! That means they travel around it in an orbit. There are four rocky, inner planetsMercury, Venus, Earth, and Marsand four gas giants farther outJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The animation shows a close-up of the central clump which explodes and catches fire. (Predict), What is something new you hope to learn about the solar system? TIM: Oh, the things I mentioned are all governed by the suns gravity, which stretches half way to the next star system! An image shows chunks of material orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. Only a portion of Jupiter can be seen and the other planets seem very small in comparison. A diagram shows two planets and their orbits. The spiraling pattern transfixes Tim and he falls asleep as Moby looks at the night skies through the binoculars. Another view shows clumps spinning around a large central clump. Each is depicted with rings of different sizes. Pluto's orbit intersects with Neptune's. Already have an individual account with Creative Coding?
