Advances in Technology Internet ActivityThe advancement of technology has deepened our understanding of the universe. How much do you already know? What do you wonder?KNOWBefore you begin your research, write what you think you know about the topic.WONDERBefore or during your research, record questions about the topic.Vocabulary: As you do your research, define the following terms. If you miss any, use the Internet to find the definitions. Remember to keep it simple!WordDefinitionMakes Me Think of...(provide an illustration or analogy!)TelescopeInfrared radiation Radio TelescopeNeutrinoDark MatterInternational Space Station (ISS)Different types of data are collected and analyzed as evidence to support theories about the universe. Now, it is time to take a closer look at some of these methods.Hubble and the James Webb Space TelescopesGo to: the charts and complete the following Venn diagram:-8001001905000Go to: the video, "Infrared: Beyond the Visible" or download & read the comic book version.What are some of our biggest questions?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How does our body detect infrared radiation? ____________________________________________________________________What does detecting infrared light in the Universe allow us to "see"?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What will the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) do?605790010795000_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________When is JWST due to be launched? ____________________________________________________Dominion Radio Astrophysical ObservatoryRead the following article: and explain the purpose of these former projects:ProjectPurpose of the ProjectStill in Use Today?The Pole FarmJohn Galt TelescopeSynthesis TelescopeSolar Flux MonitorsCHIME project6172200-127000What is the multi-national array project?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How does the observatory help private industry?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6172200-22860000SNOLAB - Located 2 km below the surface in the Vale Creighton Mine, near Sudbury, Ontario Go to: and answer the following:Why is the lab so far underground?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What are scientists looking for?___________________________________________________________________________________________________________What do scientists have to do before entering SNOLAB?___________________________________________________________________________________________________________What did the study, which won a Noble Prize, determine?___________________________________________________________________________________________________________How long have scientists been searching for dark matter? __________________________________________________________What type of animal is being experimented on to determine the affect of the absence of radiation? __________________________What are some of the adverse effects of working so far underground?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Canadarm2Read: the following:1.
