Our programs offer real-world footage, dynamic graphics, engaging dramatizations, and first-person testimonials that keep students interested and help them visualize difficult concepts. More importantly, they reinforce critical learning objectives shaped by state and national educational standards. However, the learning doesn’t begin and end when the program does. You can make the learning experience even more effective by using the materials provided in this Teacher’s Guide. This guide is divided into the following sections: • Fast Facts are designed to give your students a quick overview of the information presented within the video. • Before Viewing Activities help identify what students already know about the subject, what they are curious about, and what they hope to learn. • During Viewing Activities may be used during viewing to enhance students’ understanding of the video. • After Viewing Activities help students summarize and draw conclusions from the information that was presented. • After Viewing Quizzes test students’ retention of the information presented in the program and activity sheets. • Additional Resources are designed to help you extend the information presented in the program into other areas of your curriculum. • Answer Keys are provided for relevant activities or reproducible pages. • Script content is provided in an unabridged version for future reference. 5 © Sunburst Visual Media, a division of Global Video, LLC Exploring Space: Our Solar System Guide Program Overview Information Exploring Space: Our Solar System focuses on the Sun; the inner and outer planets; and other space objects, like asteroids, meteors and comets. In this video, two young girls, Tami and Renee, entertain students with fascinating Solar System movie reviews. The information presented in the first review explains how scientists believe our Solar System may have been created. It also covers the nine planets, the moons, and the asteroid belt. Using familiar movie titles, the girls continue through the Solar System by describing each planet in great detail through nine imaginative and often humorous movie shorts. Excellent photos and diagrams used in the movie shorts enable students to better understand our Solar System. Viewing Objectives After viewing the program and utilizing the activities provided in the Teacher’s Guide, students will be able to: • Describe the different parts of our Solar System. • Describe the difference between asteroids, comets and meteors. • Name the nine planets in order. • Explain that each planet has its own orbit or path around the Sun. • Explain that gravity is a force that attracts one thing to another. • Define the unique characteristics of each planet in our Solar System. • Compare characteristics of planets and moons in our Solar System. • Use selected vocabulary appropriately when speaking and writing. 6 Exploring Space: Our Solar System © Sunburst Visual Media, a division of Global Video, LLC Solar System Fast Facts Fast Facts Milky Way - this is what our galaxy is called; the Solar System is in this galaxy Solar System - the sun, the planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteors The Sun - a medium-sized star (the only star in our Solar System); the center of our Solar System Asteroid belt - the area between Mars and Jupiter Asteroids - space objects made of rocks and metals that orbit the Sun Comets - small, irregularly-shaped space objects made of frozen gases and dust Meteors - objects that are smaller than comets and asteroids that go around the Sun Gravity - an invisible force that attracts one thing to another The Four Inner Planets Mercury • Closest planet to the Sun • Second smallest planet • Orbits the Sun in 88 days • It can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit • The side away from the Sun reaches 276 degrees below 0 • It does not have a moon • No air or water • Covered with craters Venus • Second planet from the Sun • Does not have a moon • Closest neighbor to Earth and called “sister” planets • Very solid with few craters • Atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide – the gas we exhale on Earth • Covered with clouds made of sulfuric acid • Venus is very hot since the clouds hold in the Sun’s energy • Looks like a bright star because the clouds reflect sunlight • Appears low on Earth’s horizon during twilight hours Earth • The perfect place for life • Third planet from the Sun • Not too close and not too far from the Sun • The atmosphere is made of nitrogen, oxygen, water and gases • The only planet with water and life • Takes a little over 365 days to orbit the Sun • Tilted on its axis, an imaginary line going from the North to South Poles • One moon that orbits the Earth 7 © Sunburst Visual Media, a division of Global Video, LLC Exploring Space: Our Solar System Solar System Fast Facts Fast Facts Mars • Fourth planet from the Sun • 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun • The day on Mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes • Tilted 25 degrees on its axis; almost the same tilt as Earth’s • It has a red appearance because of the iron in the dirt • Has the tallest mountains and deepest valleys • Thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide • A low of 207 below zero and a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit • Ice made from carbon dioxide on North and South Poles • Two moons – Phobos and Deimos – shaped like potatoes The Five Outer Planets Jupiter • Largest planet • Fifth from the Sun • 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun • It is so big that all of the planets can fit inside of it • The gas giant- it is made of hydrogen and helium • The “Great Red Spot” is a large moving area of gas – a big storm • Three Earths can fit into the Great Red Spot • The rings are small rocks and gas • 16-28 moons Saturn • Planet of rings • Rings are made of tiny to extremely large rocks and gas • Sixth from the Sun • Second largest • Made of hydrogen and helium • 30 Earth years to go around the Sun • Spins faster than Earth • Very colorful planet • 18 moons 8 Exploring Space: Our Solar System © Sunburst Visual Media, a division of Global Video, LLC Solar System Fast Facts Fast Facts Uranus • Made of helium, hydrogen and methane • Color is blue and green- the color of methane gas • Seventh from the Sun • 84 Earth years to orbit the Sun • Very cold- 322 degrees below zero Fahrenheit • Spins on its side • Has rings • 20 moons Neptune • A big, blue-green planet • Eighth planet • Made of gas • Has storms • 4 rings • 8 moons • 164 Earth years to orbit the Sun Pluto • Ninth planet • Smallest planet • One moon • Charon – this moon is almost the same size as Pluto • 240 Earth years to orbit the Sun • Made of ice and rock 9 © Sunburst Visual Media, a division of Global Video, LLC Exploring Space: Our Solar System Name Before Viewing Activity 1 The Solar System Arrives with Five Fill in the KWHL chart below.

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

    DO THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ASTRONOMY AND RELIGION, BEGINNING IN PREHISTORY, FORM A DISTINCT RELIGIOUS TRADITION? by Brandon Reece Taylor (a.k.a. Brandon Taylorian / Cometan) A Dissertation Submitted to the School of Humanities, Language and Global Studies University of Central Lancashire In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2020 Word count: 14,856 1 of 96 Abstract –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Astronomy and religion have long been intertwined with their interactions resembling a symbiotic relationship since prehistoric times. Building on existing archaeological research, this study asks: do the interactions between astronomy and religion, beginning from prehistory, form a distinct religious tradition? Prior research exploring the prehistoric origins of religion has unearthed evidence suggesting the influence of star worship and night sky observation in the development of religious sects, beliefs and practices. However, there does not yet exist a historiography dedicated to outlining why astronomy and religion mutually developed, nor has there been a proposal set forth asserting that these interactions constitute a religious tradition; proposed herein as the Astronic tradition, or Astronicism. This paper pursues the objective of arguing for the Astronic tradition to be treated, firstly, as a distinct religious tradition and secondly, as the oldest archaeologically-verifiable religious tradition. To achieve this, the study will adopt a multidisciplinary approach involving archaeology, anthropology, geography, psychology, mythology, archaeoastronomy and comparative religion. After proposing six characteristics inherent to a religious tradition, the paper will assemble a historiography for astronomical religion. As a consequence of the main objective, this study also asserts that astronomical religion, most likely astrolatry, has its origins in the Upper Palaeolithic period of the Stone Age based on specimens from the archaeological record.

  • The Twilight Zone
    The Twilight Zone As a companion piece to my first paper for the Spring 2010 update of the Film Score Rundowns site, “The CBS Collection 072 UCLA,” I thought it would be fitting to offer rundowns of various written scores of the celebrated CBS series created by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone. I worked on these scores starting in the spring of 1989 when the CBS Deed of Gift # 1 was first available to researchers. Usually I hand-copied but initially I was able to xerox some of the scores or cues thanks to the Harry Heitzer general permission that UCLA later, in a change of policy, decided to cancel. I have already delineated the episodes scored by Bernard Herrmann on my site in separate rundowns except for the pilot episode, “Where Is Everybody?” simply because the full score was not available in the collection (that I could find, anyway). Only a very elementary two-stave reduced conductor score dated 1/16/59 was available. However, I will briefly delineate this skeletal version here in this paper. I will first focus on the opening and closing themes of Marius Constant and also Herrmann’s version that I have. I will also cover the CBS Eye music by Herrmann and Goldsmith. Then I will focus on what I have of various Twilight Zone scores/cues from various composers. “Twilight Zone Theme” [“Opening Theme” designation on the reduced score] Music by Bernard Herrmann dated January 15, 1959 (dated the 16th on the reduced score). CBS cue # 1561; CBS X-58-D-3.
