Process of Science Task: Earth-Centered vs. Sun-Centered Models.
Learning Goal:
To understand how evidence allows us to distinguish between alternate possible models of the solar system.
Imagine that you did not know whether Earth is the center of the solar system (as the Greeks assumed) or just one planet going around the Sun. In this activity, you will consider a set of observations, some real and some not real, that could help you distinguish between the Greek Earth-centered model and our modern Sun-centered model. Note that, in the Greek Earth-centered model, the planets Mercury and Venus lie between Earth and the Sun, while all other planets orbit Earth beyond the orbit of the Sun.
Consider the following observations. Classify each observation based on whether it is a real observation (a true statement of something we can actually see from Earth) or one that is not real (a statement of something that does not really occur as seen from Earth).

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. you are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. you are informed that they are made of the exact same material, but one is crystalline, whereas the other is amorphous. it is your job to determine which one is amorphous this one is more stress-resistant and is useful in reinforcing golf clubs. which of the following is the best way to determine which is which? a. determine the density of each cube. the more dense one is the amorphous solid. b. melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid. c. determine the density of each cube. the less dense cube is the amorphous solid. d. melt both cubes and measure the range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a narrower range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.
