David Klecher"Planet Impact!" is a series of learning modules inspired by the crash of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter. The comet's demise was at the hands of gravity. Students will investigate how the gravitational force of a large body, such as Jupiter, affects the path of a smaller body, such as a comet. Students will launch a comet to learn how gravity changes its path. They will learn how changing the speed, the angle of approach, or the masses of large and small bodies affects the force of gravity on a comet. A large force of gravity will greatly alter a comet's path. In the assessment activity, "Target Practice: Hit or Miss?," students will apply their knowledge to make a comet crash into Jupiter or fly past the planet without colliding with it.
Students can work through "Planet Impact!" independently or in groups. Teachers can make the lesson inquiry-based by having students pose questions prior to beginning the lesson. Details are included in the lesson plan's procedure/directions section. The lesson is designed to be user-friendly for all levels of computer accessibility. The lesson plan also includes options for a classroom without computers, as well as tips for using the "Science Scoop," "Comet News," and "Gravity Gallery" sections found in each activity. -
