You will study Earth’s atmosphere and learn how temperatures on Earth are just right for various life forms. By studying Earth’s rotation and its revolution, you will learn what causes day and night and why there are seasonal cycles on the “blue planet.” By the end of the unit, you will also be able to describe characteristics of Earth’s moon, list the phases of the moon, and explain why the moon goes through phases. This unit will give you an introductory look at Earth and its place in the solar system, and it will prepare you for upcoming units in astronomy and space science. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/bcemjsrtr8t5tmz7/wish/1124815617 2021-01-26 02:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/bcemjsrtr8t5tmz7/wish/1124815617 Objectives: triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/bcemjsrtr8t5tmz7/wish/1124816929
  • Identify and describe the four main components of the Earth system and explain the properties of Earth that support life
  • Define rotation and revolution and explain why day and night and seasons occur
  • Identify what determines the strength of the force of gravity between two objects and describe what factors keep the moon and Earth in orbit
  • Describe the features and characteristics of the moon and explain why the moon has phases and the effect the sun and the moon have on tides
  • Define the term eclipse and explain when solar and lunar eclipses occur
