Learning Goals
Students will be able to explain the Hubble Space Telescope's main functions and how it captures and transmits images from orbit.
Students will be able to model the Hubble Space Telescope's orbit and observe why being above Earth's atmosphere improves astronomical observations.
Students will be able to evaluate survey responses about the Hubble Space Telescope and revise their understanding based on evidence.

Hubble Image Capture Explainer Presentation
Students create an interactive digital presentation that explains how the Hubble Space Telescope takes, processes, and sends images back to Earth. The presentation includes a brief analysis of survey results showing what people know about Hubble.
Hubble Space Telescope Orbit Model and Mission Booth
Teams build and present a scale model of the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit and explain how its placement helps scientists collect clearer data. The booth includes a short collaborative explanation of Hubble's purpose and a response to audience questions.
