  3. Learning Targets: • I can explain how the tilt of the Earth's axis results in seasons. • I can compare and contrast the composition of Earth's atmospheric layers and greenhouse gases. • I can compare and contrast the geocentric and heliocentric models of the universe. • I can explain the Earth's motion based on the formation of the galaxy and solar system. • I can compare and contrast the planets in our solar system. • I can compare and contrast the characteristics, composition, and location of comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. • I can develop and use a model to demonstrate the phases of the moon by showing the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon.

  4. Learning Targets:

  5. Instructional Activities • Activity 1 Students will watch a video clip on BrainPOP on The Solar System, take notes, and write a summary. • Activity 2 Students will complete a graphic organizer of the differences • between heliocentric and Geocentric ideas of the solar system. • Activity 3 Students will take a test on weather, climate and seasons information. Ch 18,11,12 Activity 4 Students will complete a Lab activity on Moon Phases. Activity 5 Students will take a posttest for unit 5 and pretest for unit 6. Activity 6 students will complete quickdraw for vocabulary related to the solar system. Activity 7 students will make a model of a lunar and solar eclipse.

  6. Assessment Summary from Brain pop solar system Evaluation Questions from the lab Moon Phases Comparison chart Questions/Feedback Quiz on Solar System Students will Finish the test on Mon ch 18, 11, 12 Seasons, weather, and climate Explain the similarities and differences of Lunar and solar eclipses
