Please answer all questions on page 6. There is an agree or disagree question and there's a #12 question as well. Please open the image to see page 6. Page 5 has background information.

Transcribed Image Text:### Educational Content: Astronomy
**9) Observation Exercise: Star Movement**
**Scenario:**
Imagine you could see Star B at noon. Fifteen minutes later, in what direction will Star B have moved? Explain your reasoning.
**10) Student Commentary Analysis: Star Visibility**
**Student's Comment:**
The amount of time that all stars are above the horizon is 12 hours because it takes 12 hours for a star to rise in the east and then set in the west.
**Question:**
Do you agree or disagree with the student? Explain your reasoning.
**11) Understanding Constellation Movement: Diagram Analysis**
**Scenario:**
Consider the situation in which the Sun and a group of constellations are shown at sunrise (Figure 4) and then shown again 8 hours later (Figure 5).
**Diagrams Explanation:**
**Figure 4:**
This diagram illustrates the positions of the Sun and various constellations at sunrise. The constellations, including Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, and Pisces, are positioned around the horizon, with annotated direction markers (East, South, West).
**Figure 5:**
This diagram, though not shown here, presumably illustrates the same sky 8 hours later, showing the movement of the Sun and constellations across the sky.
These figures help to visualize the apparent motion of celestial bodies due to Earth's rotation, emphasizing how the constellations and the Sun shift positions over time as observed from a fixed point on Earth.
### Reflection:
Use the diagrams and explanations above to understand the concept of celestial motion. Answer the questions by referring to the described figures and your existing knowledge of astronomy.

Transcribed Image Text:### Solar Path and Constellations: An Educational Activity
#### Understanding the Sun's Movement and Constellation Positions
**Figure 5**:
The image in Figure 5 depicts a hemispherical sky view showing the four cardinal directions: East, West, North, and South. This diagram is used to illustrate the movement of the Sun across the sky and the positioning of constellations.
#### Student Perspectives on Sun's Movement and Constellations:
**Student 1**:
"We know the Sun rises in the east and moves through the southern part of the sky and then sets in the west. **Eight hours after sunrise** it makes sense that the Sun will have moved from being on the eastern horizon near the constellation **Cancer** to being located high in the southwestern sky near the constellation **Aries**."
**Student 2**:
"You're forgetting that some stars and constellations also move from the east through the southern sky and to the west just like the Sun. So, the Sun will still be near **Cancer** 8 hours later. So, in Figure 5 is drawn incorrectly. It should show that the constellations have all moved like the Sun, so **Cancer** would also be located high in the southwestern sky, with the Sun, eight hours later."
#### Discussion and Critical Thinking:
**Do you agree or disagree** with either or both of the students? Explain your reasoning. Check your answers with another group.
#### Practical Exercise:
**Exercise 12)**:
**In question 11**, we found that Figure 5 **was drawn incorrectly**. Redraw Figure 5 on the figure below by sketching the **approximate location of any constellation from Figure 5** that would still be visible.
(Students are instructed to create their own diagram, similar to Figure 5, but correcting the positions of the constellations based on the critique provided by Student 2.)
#### Explanation:
The original diagram aims to show the Sun's movement and its relationship with certain constellations as observed from Earth. Critically engaging with these perspectives requires understanding the celestial mechanics of both solar and star movements across the sky.
This hands-on activity integrates observational skills with theoretical knowledge about astronomy. By analyzing and correcting the provided diagram, students strengthen their grasp of the diurnal motion of celestial bodies.
**Note**:
It is essential for students to visualize how the entire celestial sphere moves together from east to west due to Earth's rotation. This understanding forms the basis
