This is a PowerPoint that is about Exploring Earth Science. This is geared towards 3rd grade students. This is very picture heavy so it will easily keep the attention of young children. It is also full of helpful information
The document provides information about the universe, the solar system, and Earth. It discusses that the universe contains galaxies which hold stars and planets. Our galaxy is the Milky Way and our solar system contains 8 planets orbiting the sun. It also describes the layers of Earth including the crust, mantle, and core. Key details about the inner planets, phases of the moon, eclipses, and tides are explained.
The document provides information about the solar system and related space topics from a 4th grade science perspective. It discusses that the Sun is at the center of the solar system with 8 planets revolving around it, including Earth which is the only planet that supports life. It also mentions that the solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, and describes some of the other planets and objects that can be seen in the night sky like stars, constellations, comets, and meteors. Some key facts about the Sun and Earth are also highlighted such as their sizes, distances, and rotations.
The document defines key terms in our solar system such as planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and stars. It provides details about the 8 planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - including their distances from the sun, characteristics, and number of moons. It notes that the sun is at the center of our solar system and is made up mostly of hydrogen. It concludes with assessment questions to test the reader's understanding.
The document discusses the sun, moon, stars, and Earth. It explains that the sun is a star that gives heat and light to Earth and allows it to rotate daily. It also revolves around the sun yearly. The moon orbits Earth and reflects the sun's light. Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky. The Earth is surrounded by air and clouds and has an atmosphere with oxygen needed for life.
There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The key difference between these states is how the particles move - in solids they vibrate in place, in liquids they move freely past one another, and in gases they are far apart and moving very fast. Substances can change between these states through melting, boiling, condensing, or freezing. Physical changes alter the state of a substance without changing its chemical makeup - for example, water can change between solid, liquid, and gas states through physical changes. Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that do not undergo chemical changes and can be separated back out.
The document discusses the two main types of weathering - chemical and mechanical. Chemical weathering involves changing the minerals in rocks through processes like acid etching and oxidation. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into fragments without changing their chemical makeup, through processes like frost wedging and abrasion. Weathering breaks rocks down, while erosion involves their removal and transport by agents such as water, wind, waves and glaciers. The document provides examples of different geological processes and asks the reader to identify if they involve weathering, erosion, or both.
Matter exists in three main states - solids, liquids, and gases. Solids maintain a fixed shape, liquids flow and take the shape of their container, while gases expand freely to fill their container. Common examples of each state are ice (solid), water (liquid), and air (gas). Gases are especially hard to observe directly due to being invisible, odorless, and expanding to fill any space.
The document discusses the Sun, Earth, and Moon. The Sun is a big ball of gases that is the source of all energy. It takes 8.4 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun and is the only planet that supports life. The Moon orbits the Earth and reflects light from the Sun, taking 28 days to revolve around the Earth. Day and night on Earth occur due to its rotation, while the year occurs due to its revolution around the Sun.

Here is a reflection page for the Earth's Motions unit:
Cartoon: I drew a cartoon showing Earth rotating on its axis while also revolving around the Sun. Night and day are passing by, and the seasons are changing as Earth makes its yearly journey. In the speech bubbles, Earth says "Wow, it sure gets busy making a full rotation and revolution each day and year! No wonder humans had a hard time figuring all this out - it must look really confusing from down here on the surface."
Poem:
Spinning round and round each day,
Bringing light then taking it away.
Wobbling slightly as I go,
On my yearly trip around the glowing glow.
Summer
The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year.
The moon revolves around Earth once every 27 days, keeping the same side facing Earth. It reflects sunlight and its illuminated half changes shape in a cycle from new moon to first quarter to full moon to third quarter over 291⁄2 days. The moon is the closest celestial object to Earth at 384,000 km away. It has many impact craters and temperature extremes ranging from 127°C during the day to -173°C at night. Telescopes allow observation of details on the moon's surface.
The document discusses various properties of light. It explains that plants use light from the Sun to photosynthesize and make food. It also notes that the moon reflects light from the Sun, making it appear bright at night along with stars. Shadows are formed because light travels in straight lines, and their size and shape can change based on the position of the light source and object. Sunglasses help reduce glare by only allowing some light to pass through their lenses.
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions in a location, such as temperature, wind, and precipitation. Climate describes general weather conditions in a place over a longer period of time, usually years. Climate is influenced by factors like the water cycle, Earth's tilt and rotation, volcanic eruptions, and greenhouse gases, while weather is affected in the short term by wind speed, cloud cover, and types of precipitation.
A season is one of four periods in a year defined by changes in temperature, weather, and daylight hours. Seasons are caused by the earth's position relative to the sun, changing as the earth moves closer or farther from the sun over the course of a year. Places near the equator do not experience seasons because their position relative to the sun does not change. The four seasons are autumn, winter, spring, and summer, each with characteristic weather patterns and temperatures.
The document discusses how the rotation of the Earth causes the position and length of shadows to change throughout the day. It notes that in the morning shadows are long and point west, becoming shorter until reaching their shortest at noon, then lengthening and pointing east in the afternoon as the sun sets in the west.
The document compares and contrasts stars and planets. It explains that stars are huge collections of gas held together by gravity that produce and release large amounts of energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. Planets do not have enough mass to produce their own energy and instead orbit stars. While both are observable, stars appear brighter because of their immense energy production.
During a change of state, the motion and arrangement of a substance's particles change as it gains or loses energy from its surroundings. The three main states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - can change between each other. Freezing and melting occur between solids and liquids as particles slow down or speed up. Evaporation, boiling, condensation change between liquids and gases as particles escape or are attracted together. Sublimation and deposition change directly between solids and gases. Mass and identity are conserved during state changes.
Learn about meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites. What's the difference? What are they made of? How do they move? Find out, from the University of Arizona, where we've discovered 52% of all known near-Earth objects.
The document discusses the two movements of the Earth - rotation and revolution. Rotation is the spinning of the Earth on its axis from west to east, taking 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.2 seconds to complete one rotation. Revolution is the Earth's orbit around the Sun, taking 365 1/4 days to complete one revolution. Due to these motions, we experience day and night, seasons, sunrise and sunset, Coriolis effect, different time zones, and heat zones.
The document discusses light sources and how light travels. The major natural light source is the sun. Light travels in straight lines and can be reflected, absorbed, or pass through objects. It is reflected off opaque objects, absorbed by some objects, and passes through transparent or translucent objects. The eyes see light that enters through the cornea and is focused on the retina, where light information is sent to the brain to be interpreted as vision. Shadows are formed when light is blocked by opaque objects. The position of the sun affects the length and location of shadows outside.
Natural disasters are changes to the Earth's surface that are so great they can damage land and threaten lives. They include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, floods, droughts, wildfires, dust storms, and sinkholes. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan killed over 20,000 people and caused $235 billion in damage, making it the costliest natural disaster in history. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes can trigger tsunamis, which can have wave heights over 100 feet high.
The document discusses the properties of magnets, including that they have two poles (positive and negative) that attract each other while likes repel, and that magnets can pull through gases, solids, and liquids. It prompts students to use a magnet to explore objects around the classroom and at home to identify which are magnetic and which are non-magnetic.
This document provides an overview of stars, galaxies, and the universe. It begins with definitions of key terms like stars, galaxies, and the universe. It then covers the composition of stars and how they are classified. The next sections discuss the life cycles of stars and the different types of galaxies. The document concludes with an explanation of the big bang theory of the universe and how scientists estimate the age of the universe.
The document discusses physical and chemical changes. Physical changes alter the state of a substance but do not create a new substance, such as melting, freezing, or breaking something into smaller pieces. Chemical changes form an entirely new substance, evidenced by a change in color, gas release, or new solid forming. Examples of physical changes include shattering a plate or melting wax, while examples of chemical changes include burning wood or rusting metal.
The sun is the largest object in the solar system, containing over 99% of its mass. It emits light and heat that support life on Earth and influence all solar system objects. The sun has various internal layers, including the core where energy is produced through nuclear fusion, and an outer atmosphere. Sunspots, solar flares, and other features periodically appear on its surface. In a few billion years, the sun will expand and grow hotter, eventually making Earth uninhabitable.

The document provides information about the Earth and its place in the solar system and universe. It discusses that the Earth is a planet that orbits the Sun. It receives light and heat from the Sun and has one moon. It also describes that the solar system includes the Sun and eight planets that orbit it, as well as asteroids and other smaller objects. Finally, it notes that the solar system is located within the Milky Way galaxy, and the galaxy is part of the wider universe.
- Historical models assumed Earth was the center of the solar system, with planets circling it. Copernicus developed the first sun-centered model. Galileo observed moons orbiting Jupiter, showing Earth was not uniquely orbited.
- Earth rotates on a tilted axis once every 24 hours, causing day and night. Its yearly revolution around the sun and axial tilt cause the seasons.
- The solar system includes the sun and objects that orbit it, such as planets, asteroids, comets, and other planetary bodies. It is located within the Milky Way galaxy.
This lesson plan teaches students about the behavior of space objects through interactive 3D models and hands-on activities. Students will learn to understand our position in the solar system and patterns in space. They will name the planets, investigate how the Earth-Moon-Sun relationship causes eclipses and lunar phases. Hands-on activities include creating paper models of the solar system and recreating lunar phases with models of the Sun, Earth and Moon. The lesson aims to help students fully grasp abstract concepts such as the sizes and motions of objects in the solar system.
This document provides information about the Sun, Earth, and Moon through text and images. It compares the sizes of these celestial bodies and explains that the Sun would be the size of a basketball, Earth a pea, and the Moon a pinhead. It then discusses the key differences between the rotation and revolution of Earth and the Moon around the Sun. Finally, it summarizes how Earth's rotation causes day and night and its revolution causes seasons.

The document provides information about celestial objects in our solar system. It begins by describing objects visible in the night sky like stars, planets and the moon. It then discusses the moon's phases and that it does not produce its own light. It notes that astronauts found the moon's surface to be dusty and barren with many craters. The document outlines that stars produce their own light and are much farther than planets. It defines constellations and provides examples. It describes the makeup of our solar system including planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteors, and artificial satellites.
Celestial navigation is determining one's position on Earth by measuring the positions of celestial objects like the sun, moon, planets, and stars. The solar system consists of eight planets orbiting the sun, with Neptune being the farthest planet at approximately 30 astronomical units from the sun. An astronomical unit is the distance between Earth and the sun, which is about 93 million miles. The four inner planets are rocky, while the four outer planets are gas giants made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
This document provides an overview of celestial objects and the solar system. It begins by defining celestial objects as stars, planets, moons and other objects in the sky. It then discusses astronomy as the study of these celestial objects. The rest of the document describes the moon's phases and features, stars and constellations, planets in our solar system including their characteristics, and other members of the solar system like asteroids, comets, meteors and meteorites. It also discusses natural satellites like the moon and artificial satellites orbiting Earth.
- Early models of the solar system placed Earth at the center, with planets orbiting it. Copernicus developed the first sun-centered model, though observations were still made with the naked eye. Galileo made improvements to the telescope and observed Jupiter's moons, showing Earth was not uniquely orbited.
- Earth rotates on a tilted axis once every 24 hours, causing day and night as different sides face the sun. This tilt and Earth's revolution around the sun also cause the seasons in each hemisphere.
- The sun is at the center of our solar system, which includes eight planets that orbit it. Pluto is no longer classified as a planet due to its small size and irregular orbit.
The document discusses the Earth and its relationship to other celestial bodies like the Sun and moon. It provides information about the order of planets in our solar system, sizes and distances of various astronomical objects, how day and night occur on Earth due to its rotation, and why seasons exist due to the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The moon's changing shapes are explained by its monthly orbit around Earth over 28 days.
The document provides an outline for an 11th grade astronomy lesson on the solar system. It includes sections on the seasons of Earth, day and night, an intro to the solar system, the inner and outer planets, stars, asteroids, comets, and meteors. Students are directed to various videos and readings to learn about each topic. The lesson emphasizes that the Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis, causing seasons and day/night, and provides acronyms to help remember the order of the planets.
The Earth is the only planet that supports life. It is 4.6 billion years old and is the densest body in the Solar System. It has one moon. The Solar System is made up of eight planets that orbit the Sun, as well as asteroids and comets. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and has a varied surface that supports life.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Travel along and we will find out where
we live in space and what we can see
in space.
3. Do you know
what a solar
system is?
Do you know
what is in our
solar system?
4. Our solar system is made up of an
enormous sun and everything that
travels around it.
5. We live on one
of the nine
planets in our
system. Other
small bodies
called asteroids
and comets can
be found in our
system also.
6. If we were to put the planets in order ,
from the one closest to the sun, they
would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto.
7. What do you know about how our
planet, Earth, moves in space?
8. Earth is the third planet. We call Earth
our ‘home planet.’
It is the shape of a sphere.
9. It has oceans full of water,
green forests, animals,
plants, and breathable air. It
is a unique planet. From
space, the Earth looks like a
beautiful blue-green marble,
with white swirling clouds.
10. • Sunlight comes from the sun to the
Earth. The sunlight that warms our
faces right now left the sun over eight
minutes ago. The sun warms the Earth.
12. The Earth whizzes along spinning in
space at 67,000 miles an hour. We
can’t feel it spinning. Yet is makes one
complete turn every 24 hours.
13. This spinning
around like a
top is called
rotation. As it
spins only one
side faces the
sun. Day
begins when
our part of the
world turns to
face the sun.
14. Night falls when our part of the Earth
turns away from the sun. The side
facing away from the sun has
nighttime.
15. This rotation or spinning of Earth
causes day and night. The Earth
rotates on its axis. The axis is an
imaginary line through its center. It
rotates once every 24 hours causing
day and night.

16. Every day the
Earth travels
around the
sun. The
Earth and the
moon travel
together in an
orbit around
the sun once a
year.
17. One revolution around the sun equals
365 days. This revolution causes the
changing of the seasons.

18. When the Earth moves closer to the
sun, summer returns. When the Earth
moves farther away from the sun in its
orbit, winter returns.

19. • What is the
Earth’s natural
satellite?
• What does it look
like?
20. The moon is the Earth’s only natural
satellite.
• The moon is a
ball of rock that
is dry and dusty.
It has craters,
valleys,
mountains, and
large patches
called seas.
21. In 1969, the first man stepped onto
the moon. There is no wind or rain
on the moon to wash the footprints
away.

22. • Where does the light shining from
the moon come from?
• Why does it seem to change shapes
in space?
23. The moon circles around the Earth
about once every 28 days. The moon
does not spin like the Earth. The moon
only spins once a month on its axis.
The moon looks bright at night, but it
does not make its own light.

moon/moonphase/
24. We see the moon because the sun
shines on it. The sunlight bounces off
the moon and down toward the Earth.
We see reflected sunlight.
25. • As the moon travels around the
Earth, we can see different amounts
of the side lit by the sun. The
moon’s appearance changes each
day through the month depending
on where the moon is in its orbit.
27. http://www.geocities.com/eedd88/moon/moo
n.html
• These changes of how the moon
looks from the Earth are called the
moon’s phases. Sometimes the
moon looks completely dark and
seems to disappear. This is called a
new moon. Sometimes the moon
looks round. This is called a full
moon.
29. • It appears to grow
larger until it is a
round, full moon. Then
the full moon appears
to grow smaller. This
is called the waning
moon. When the
moon goes from a new
moon to a full moon, it
has complete one orbit
of cycle.
30. • A complete orbit
of the moon
around the Earth
produces the
moon’s phases
that we see.
This complete
cycle of the
moon’s phases
takes 29.5 days.
31. • Because of the
moon’s orbit or
cycle of 29.5 days,
moonrise can
appear later each
day. That is why
we see sometimes
see the moon in the
sky at night and
other times we see
it during the day.
32. Learning about the Earth and the
moon has made all of you Space
Kids. See if you can now answer
the following questions.
33. Do you know
what a solar
system is?
Do you know
what is in our
solar system?
