As Space is becoming increasingly important in most countries around the world, especially given the amount of Space travel that has recently increased, it is more and more important for our children to know, at least basic knowledge about the Space around us, including all scientists have now learned about Black Holes & Exoplanets! Plus, most learners find this topic to be extremely interesting as their young minds get to explore the possibilities of Space: making it perfect for the explorer...

Unit 1Introduction to Black Holes & Their TypesIntroduction to Black Holes & Their Types2 lessons2 WeeksWeek 1Lesson 1Black Holes: Important Terminology, Defining Black Holes & Their PartsDuring this first lesson, we will cover key terminology which will help us understand how black holes work. We will look at Matter, Mass, and Gravity. Afterwards, we will learn the definition of a black hole, discuss how it works, and identify the individual parts of a black hole.Week 2Lesson 2Types of Black Holes & More Important TerminologyDuring this second lesson, we will cover the important terms to understand to help us describe the types of black holes. Terms covered are Solar Mass & Quasar. Then we will discuss the 4 basic Types of Black Holes from the smallest to the largest. We will dive into how scientists believe the different types are formed, and how massive they can be as well.Unit 2Finding Black Holes & Why they are ImportantFinding Black Holes & Why they are Important2 lessons2 WeeksWeek 3Lesson 3How Humans find Black Holes, & the Closest & Farthest Black Holes from EarthDuring this lesson, we will discuss how we "see" black holes in space. We will look at specific technology utilized, and how we can identify & find them. We will also take a look into how many black holes exist in the the vastness of space. You will be shocked when you find out how many scientists believe are out there!Week 4Lesson 4Why are Black Holes Important & Review GameIn this lesson, we uncover the amazing black holes that are the closest and the farthest away from our beautiful, blue planet, Earth. We will also learn some new terms such as, Astronomical Unit & Light-Year. During this lesson, we will discuss the importance of black holes, and how they help our galaxy and universe to thrive, as well as what they do to spread the elements throughout space. Then we will have some fun by playing an interactive review game all about Black Holes.Unit 3Introduction to Exoplanets & How We Find ThemIntroduction to Exoplanets & How We Find Them1 lesson1 WeekWeek 5Lesson 5Introducing Exoplanets & How Humans Find themToday's lesson is an introduction into Exoplanets and the NASA Exoplanet catalog. We will look at what an exoplanet is, how many exoplanets have been discovered, and will learn some new vocabulary along the way (Planetary System, Host Star, etc.), and how we name the Exoplanets. Then we will discuss the 5 basic ways humans are able to find & study these planets so far from our home world.Unit 4Exoplanet Types & The Closest and Farthest from EarthExoplanet Types & The Closest and Farthest from Earth2 lessons2 WeeksWeek 6Lesson 6Types of Exoplanets & the Closest to EarthDuring this lesson, we will learn important terminology that will help us as we dive more into Exoplanets. Mainly, we will learn about Light-Years, Habitable Zones, Astronomical Units, and more. Then we will take a ride through space to discover the the Alpha Centauri star system, and closest system to Earth, Proxima Centauri. We will discuss the closest exoplanet in detail as well. Get ready to be amazed!Week 7Lesson 7Types of Exoplanets & the Farthest from EarthIn this lesson, we will cover additional types of Exoplanets, such as Gas Giants, Super Jupiters, Mini-Neptunes, Terrestrial, Lava Worlds, Hot Exoplanets, and so much more. Then we will zoom far away from our planet towards the center of our galaxy to discover the Exoplanet that is farthest from Earth, how far away it orbits its star, what type of planet it is, as well as how long it would take us to make it there at our current technology.Unit 5The Importance of ExoplanetsThe Importance of Exoplanets1 lesson1 WeekWeek 8Lesson 8Why are Exoplanets Important & Review GameDuring this, our last lesson, we will discuss why Exoplanets are so important to humans. What we can learn from them, and how they might help us in the future. Then we will play a fun, interactive review game together!
- Students will be able to describe what a black hole is; identify the types of black holes, and tell how they are formed, where they are found, and explain why they are important. Students will also be able to describe what Exoplanets are; identify ways we can find them; as well as discover the closest & farthest Exoplanets from Earth & their unique planetary systems.
I have always had a love of space, from the moment my grandpa, an amateur astronomer, let me look through the 10-foot telescope he built all by himself, to watching shuttles & satellites lift into the sky, and watching some fall back to the earth. I have spotted some of the largest dust storms to hit Mars, and have enjoyed looking at the various craters on our Moon and seeing the rings around Saturn, all from my own backyard in Missouri & while using other telescopes my grandpa and I built together! I have never ceased my exploration and search, looking to the skies to watch for eclipses, comets, and so much more! My love of all things Space has only increased with time, and I feel it is the next great wave of the future! As a teacher with a Master’s Degree in Teaching & over 30 years of experience working with children of various ages, and more than 5 years teaching students about Space, as well as other Science-related subject-matter, I love sharing my knowledge with the next generation. My hope is to instill the awe-inspiring beauty the Unknown Universe holds, as well as encourage students to dream and believe! I hope to see you in class as we Blast-Off to Space!
