Keplers Laws

Today we had lecture and a brief activity to demonstrate Kepler's laws. Johannes kepler came up with three laws to describe planetary motion. These three laws include the law of ellipses, the law of equal area and the law of periods. Student should know these three laws and should be able to explain them on an exam. Tomorrow we will be reviewing for the test on Monday and playing a game of Jeopardy. The test on Monday will cover the formation of the universe, how we view the universe, formation of the solar system, the nebular hypothesis, the sun and Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

Over the weekend, students should study their notes, their handouts and the quiz review sheet from this week. Students will can look at the questions that they missed on their quizzes by logging on to quia.com using their username and password.
