H HS Physics Unit 3 Lesson 3: How does the orbital shape, speed, and distance to Earth compare for each of the satellite technologles? The table below summarizes characteristics of the orbits for five different satellites.

Examine the data and individually reflect on the question: \"What do you notice, wonder, or find surprising about the orbits of the different satellite technologies?\" Turn and share your idea with your elbow partner. When you are finished speaking, allow them to share their ideas as well. Record your partner's ideas, as well as those shared in the whole class discussion.
