The document discusses the two types of motions of the Earth: rotation and revolution. Rotation is the movement of the Earth on its axis, which takes 24 hours to complete one rotation. Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the sun, which takes 365.25 days to complete one revolution. Due to these motions, different parts of the Earth experience day and night, and the seasons change throughout the year.
A power point that is designed to explain the effects of the Rotation and Revolution on the Earth.
-Day and Night
-The four seasons
-Solstice and Equinox
-High tide and low tide
-Windspeed and Direction

S6E1. Students will explore current scientific views of the universe and how those views evolved.
a. Relate the Nature of Science to the progression of basic historical scientific models (geocentric, heliocentric) as they describe our solar system, and the Big Bang as it describes the formation of the universe.
b. Describe the position of the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy and the universe.
c. Compare and contrast the planets in terms of Size relative to the earth Surface and atmospheric features Relative distance from the sun Ability to support life
d. Explain the motion of objects in the day/night sky in terms of relative position.
e. Explain that gravity is the force that governs the motion in the solar system.
f. Describe the characteristics of comets, asteroids, and meteors.
