Backwards Faded Scaffolding Inquiry
Lab constructed by the University of Wyoming
Cognition in Astronomy, Physics & Earth sciences Research (CAPER) Team. http://www.uwyo.edu/caper
Big Idea: The countless and varied galaxies observed throughout the Universe have characteristics that can be classified.
Goal: Students will conduct a structured series of scaffolded scientific inquiries about the nature of observed galaxies using the Internet sites prescribed, particularly the Sloan Digital Sky Survey via Galaxy Zoo
Computer Setup:
Access http://zoo3.galaxyzoo.org/ and
a) Select REGISTER and set up a username
b) Enter your email address
c) Create and enter a security question and answer.
d) Select CREATE USER and, when set up, select CONTINUE.
NOTE: You will see a note on the site that this is an archived version of Galaxy Zoo. If you want, you can instead use http://galaxyzoo.org, but the Hubble images there are a bit harder to classify than the images at the first link (the zoo3 link), which were taken by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Also, you won’t see the “How to Take Part” tutorial there. It is recommended that you use the zoo3 link, and then you can use the active version if you want to participate for real after submitting the lab.
Phase I: Tutorial: After logging into galaxyzoo.org, if you aren’t already in, select HOW TO TAKE PART and complete the online GALAXY ZOO: HUBBLE TUTORIAL, completing the tables below as you go along. You can either use text highlighting in your word processor to highlight your answers, or place an X in front of your selection.
1) Q: Is the galaxy simply smooth and rounded, with no sign of a disk? (Highlight or place an X in front of selection.)

Phase II – Does the Evidence Match the Conclusion?
20) Enter the CLASSIFY Galaxy Zoo scientific database and classify ten (10) additional images. Keep a record of your results in the “Tally Sheet” below using tick marks. Use two different colored pens or pencils to separate data for galaxies with spiral arms and galaxies without spiral arms.

20B-OPTIONAL: Either print this page and keep a tally using pen marks or keep track digitally by using two different colors of fonts.
21) If a student proposed a generalization that “most elliptical galaxies are cigar-shaped,” would you agree, disagree with the generalization based on all the evidence you collected SO FAR? Explain your reasoning and provide specific evidence either from the above questions or from evidence you yourself generate using Galaxy Zoo.
Phase III – What Conclusions Can You Draw From the Evidence?
Galaxies are observed to have numerous different shapes. What conclusions and generalizations can you make from the following data collected by a student in terms of DO SPIRAL GALAXIES GENERALLY EXHIBIT A CLEAR CENTRAL BULGE? Explain your reasoning and provide specific evidence, with sketches if necessary, to support your reasoning.

22) Evidence-based Conclusion:
Phase IV – What Evidence Do You Need?
Imagine your team has been assigned the task of designing a scientific observation plan for your favorite news blog about number of spiral arms a galaxy has. Describe precisely what evidence you would need to collect in order to answer the research question of, “How many arms do spiral galaxies have?”
23) Create a detailed, step-by-step description of evidence that needs to be collected and a complete explanation of how this could be done—not just “look and see how many arms are there,” but exactly what would someone need to do, step-by-step, to accomplish this. You might include a table and sketches-the goal is to be precise and detailed enough that someone else could follow your procedure.
Phase V – Formulate a Question, Pursue Evidence, and Justify Your Conclusion
Your task is design an answerable research question, propose a plan to pursue evidence, collect data using Galaxy Zoo (or another suitable source pre-approved by your lab instructor), and create an evidence-based conclusion about the characteristics of galaxies.

Phase VI – Summary PRINT YOUR NAME
Create a 50-word summary, in your own words, that describes the nature and characteristics of galaxies we observe in the universe. You should cite specific evidence YOU have collected in your description, not describe what you have learned in class or elsewhere. Feel free to create and label sketches to illustrate your response.
