NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Which type of telescope uses convex lenses to bend and focus light rays to produce images of objects in space?

• reflector

• refractor

Which type of telescope receives information during any weather and during day or night? The waves are as long as a football field and are captured by this telescope are not absorbed or blocked by Earth's atmosphere.

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

This space tool is placed in orbit around Earth mainly used for communication and evaluation of Earth surface/atmospheric conditions. The information is sent back to Earth where it is interpreted.

• reflector telescopes

• spectroscope

• satellites

• probes

These instruments are used to collect data on distant planets, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. The Hubble Space Telescope is an example of this.

• space observatories

• space probes

• satellites

• spectroscopes

NGSS.MS-ESS1-3

This space tool contain instruments to collect data and travel out of Earth’s orbit to explore places that would be too dangerous for astronomers.

• space observatory

• satellite

• spectroscope

• space probe

This space tool collects the light from distant stars and separate that light into bands of different colors; by studying these bands, astronomers identify the elements in a star.

• space probe

• spectroscope

• satellite

• Reflective Telescopes on Earth's Surface

• Refractor Telescopes on Earth's Surface

What is one type of wave that distant stars and galaxies ( beyond ROYGIBIV) emit that we can capture by using a telescope?

• light

• radio

• sound
