Scientific Notation

Calculating distance from the sun --> Converting to make a scale model

F = (GmM)/(r^2)

Elliptical Orbits (comets, planets) Angle measure - observing moon altitude/angular position Counting stars & sample space --> whole sky Modular arithmetic - varying length of days/years

What would it take for us to actually visit the other planets in our solar system? How would we get there? How long would it take? How can we prove this doing math?

Fractions/Moon phases for younger grades

How would we communicate (currently communicate) with our family on earth from the moon? How long would it take for messages to get there? Transferred using light waves?? How do we send pictures?

Football on the moon How must rules change without the same atmosphere? Little air resistance, less gravity?
