The document provides an overview of lunar phases, eclipses, and tides. It explains that the moon orbits at an angle relative to Earth's orbit and reflects sunlight, causing phases. Eclipses occur when the sun, earth, and moon align, sometimes blocking sunlight. Total lunar eclipses make the moon appear red due to atmospheric filtering of light. The moon's gravity also causes two high tides each day by pulling the side of Earth closest and farthest to it.
The document discusses eclipses and provides myths and legends about them from different cultures. It explains that solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the Earth and sun, casting its shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and moon, and the Earth's shadow is cast on the moon. The document suggests doing a hands-on activity using balls and lamps to observe how eclipses are formed and includes links to NASA videos and worksheets on eclipses.
The document contains information and questions about the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth. It explains that the Moon orbits Earth about once a month, causing the monthly cycle of moon phases seen from our planet. Diagrams show the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun during different moon phases. Multiple choice questions test understanding of moon phases and their sequence over a month.
The phases of the moon are caused by the changing angle between the Earth, moon and sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by the sun, appearing as crescent, gibbous, quarter or full phases. Eclipses occur when one celestial body blocks the light of another, causing its shadow to fall on the moon or Earth. There are two types of eclipses - lunar, where the Earth casts its shadow on the moon, and solar, where the moon passes between the Earth and sun.
1. The document contains a practice test on astronomy concepts related to the Moon, including its phases, orbit around Earth, and effects on ocean tides.
2. There are 25 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of the Moon's motion and position relative to Earth and how that determines what phase is visible from different locations on Earth's surface.
3. Additional concepts covered include solar eclipses, spring tides, and how the positions of the Moon cause highest and lowest ocean tides on Earth.
The document discusses planetary motion, eclipses, tides, and phases of the moon. It explains that planets orbit stars in ellipses rather than perfect circles, and that closer planets move faster due to gravity. It describes solar and lunar eclipses, noting that solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, while lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the sun and moon. It also discusses how the moon's gravity causes ocean tides, with high tide occurring when the moon is overhead or opposite the tide location. Finally, it outlines the phases of the moon as it revolves around Earth.
An eclipse occurs when one astronomical object passes in front of another, temporarily obscuring it from view. There are two types of eclipses - solar eclipses, which occur when the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses, which occur when the earth passes between the sun and moon. The document provides instructions for safely viewing an eclipse using a pinhole projector or solar filter to project the sun's image without looking directly at it.

This document provides information from a Back to School Night presentation for a 3rd grade Mandarin immersion class. It introduces the teacher, Ms. Chau, who was born in Taiwan and has taught Mandarin at various schools. It outlines her teaching philosophy of allowing student curiosity to guide learning. The document also summarizes the Mandarin curriculum and units, daily schedule, homework policies, volunteer opportunities and upcoming field trips for families to learn about the Mandarin program.
This document provides information for parents of students in Ms. Chau's Mandarin Immersion program at College Park Elementary School. It outlines the school's behavior expectations, attendance policy, uniform requirements, recess and lunch procedures, guidelines for birthday celebrations, and policies around items brought from home. It also includes information about volunteering opportunities at the school through the PTA and in individual classrooms, as well as school-wide life skills programs.
The document provides a chart that lists the initial consonant sounds and final vowel sounds in Pinyin, along with rough English equivalents. It includes 24 initial sounds such as "b", "p", "m", and "f", which are paired with English words to illustrate their pronunciation. There are also 14 final vowel sounds like "a", "ei", "iu", and "ing", along with examples in English. The chart is intended to help English speakers understand Pinyin pronunciation based on similar sounds in their own language.
1. The document is a Chinese vocabulary list containing 20 common Chinese words and their English translations.
2. It provides the Chinese characters, pinyin romanization, and English gloss for terms ranging from verbs like "to listen" and "to play" to nouns like "work", "period", "laughing", and "crying".
3. The list covers basic vocabulary for communicating facts and feelings.
