Objectives(s): In your own words, what is the purpose of this lab?

Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the predictions you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.

Procedure:
The materials and procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. However, you should note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome. Using your summary questions at the end of your virtual lab activity, please clearly define the dependent and independent variables of the experiment.

Data:
Record the elements present in each unknown astronomical object. Be sure to indicate “yes” or “no” for each element.

Hydrogen Helium Lithium Sodium Carbon Nitrogen
Moon One

Moon Two

Planet One

Planet Two

Conclusion:
Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer all questions in complete sentences using your own words.

Using two to three sentences, summarize what you investigated and observed in this lab.
Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essential to use many types of equipment when studying space?
If carbon was the most common element found in the moons and planets, what element is missing that would make them similar to Earth? Explain why. (Hint: Think about the carbon cycle.)
We know that the electromagnetic spectrum uses wavelengths and frequencies to determine a lot about outer space. How does it help us find out the make-up of stars?
Why might it be useful to determine the elements that a planet or moon is made up of?
