Great Job! NEXT
Movie Time! • Click the Earth to see how the Earth rotates on it’s axis. NEXT
Did You Know? • Did you know the Earth moves around the Sun as it is rotating on its axis? • Did you know the Moon travels around the Earth? • Did you know we call that a revolution? • Did you know it takes the Earth 12 months to complete 1 full revolution around the Sun?! NEXT

Core Standard3rd Grade Content • Standard 1 • Students will understand that the shape of Earth and the moon are spherical and that Earth rotates on its axis to produce the appearance of the sun and moon moving through the sky. • Objective 2 • Describe the motions of Earth (i.e., the rotation [spinning] of Earth on its axis, the revolution [orbit] of Earth around the sun). • Use a model of Earth to demonstrate that Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours to produce the night and day cycle.
