  1. Earth – Moon – Sun System HW: Choose 1 probe and give it to your students. Day and Night Moon Phases Seasons A Private Universe - Seasons

  2. Earth – Moon – Sun System Day and Night Moon Phases Seasons

  3. Interconnections Vocabulary • Revolution – the circling of an object in space around another object in space • Orbit – the path a planet or moon takes during its revolution • Rotation – the turning of an object around an axis

  4. Earth – Moon – Sun System Day and Night Moon Phases Seasons

  5. Moon Phase Calendar Challenge Your Challenge Determine the moon phases for each night in December using only the information from your last 4 nights of observations. Place the correct moon phase on the correct date on the blank calendar.

  6. Naming the Moon Phases

  7. Earth – Moon – Sun System Day and Night Moon Phases Seasons

  8. When is Earth Closest to the Sun? Your Challenge These images of the sun were taken by Dr. Karen Mees of the University of Hawaii. Use the images and a ruler to figure out when the Earth is closest to the Sun.

  9. Evidence Circle – The Seasons • Each student in your group should take 1 or 2 strips of paper. • The student with the question reads first, and then to take turns reading the answer choices. • Once everyone has read, lay the strips on the table. • Discuss, as a group, the answer choices. • Choose the best answers. • Use evidence from your science notebook to support the answers you have chosen. • Be ready to have one group member share.

  10. ASSESSMENTS HW: Choose 1 probe and give it to your students. • Formative Assessment Probes: • Darkness at Night • Going Through A Phase • Summer Talk • Problem of the Week: Moon Phases & Seasons • Exit Tickets: PPT • UNIT ASSESSMENT: CHOICE PROJECT

  12. DAY AND NIGHT

  13. How much time has passed between Diagram A and Diagram B? What is your reasoning?

  14. We do not feel the Earth rotating because we are on the Earth. We rotate too! Just how fast are we traveling?The circumference of the Earth is about 24,900 miles. Based on what you know about Earth’s rotation, about how many miles per hour does the Earth rotate?

  15. MOON PHASES

  16. Draw a picture of what the moon will most likely look like on March 30th.

  17. From Earth, which position below would show this phase of the moon? Explain how you figured out the answer.

  18. SEASONS
