  1. Key Learning:Objects in our Solar System orbit the Sun, have distinctive physical characteristics, and move in orderly and predictable motions. Unit Essential Question:How do the objects in our Solar System interact with each other? Planetary Systems Unit Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System

  2. Planetary Systems Unit • Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System Concept:The Earth Moon and Sun System Lesson Essential Questions: 1. How do the positions of the moon and Sun influence tides on Earth? 2. Why does the appearance of the moon change? 3. Why do the positions of the sun, earth and moon cause eclipses some months but not every month? 4. How are solar eclipses different from lunar eclipses? Vocabulary: Spring Tide Neap Tide Waxing Waning Gibbous Solar Eclipse Eclipse You will be able to answer these questions by the end of Part 2 Crescent Quarter Moon Full Moon New Moon Lunar You should already know what these words mean. You will be able to use them in your responses and discussions throughout the unit

  10. Planetary Systems Unit • Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System Complete Summary #2: If you were explaining what a tidal force was to a group of 7th graders, what would you say?

  11. Planetary Systems Unit • Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System Homework Assignment #5 In the Planetary Systems Readings and Assignments… Read pages 10-11 and do the assignment on page 11

  12. Planetary Systems Unit • Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System Warm Up #3: Does the Moon have day and night? How do you know? __________________________________________________________ How far away would you guess the Moon is from Earth? ______________________

  13. Planetary Systems Unit • Part 2: The Earth, Moon, and Sun System Moon Facts You will be given a reading. You will do the work with a partner. As one person reads, the other should be writing down facts in the appropriate section on the worksheet…this way you only have to do half the reading and half the writing, not all.
