In our first unit of study, students will investigate Space. By the time students have finished this unit, they should be able to explain the following BIG idea:
Earth and the moon move in predictable ways as they orbit around the sun.
• Earth rotates on a tilted axis and orbits the sun
• The moon is Earth's natural satellite.
• Positions of the sun and moon affect Earth
The BIG ideas in the chapters support an understanding of the following Unifying Principles of Physical Science:
• Physical forces, such as gravity, affect the movement of all matter on Earth and throughout the universe.
• The moon is Earth's natural satellite.
• Positions of the sun and moon affect Earth
