Astronomy Objectives:
Strand 6: Composition and Structure of the Universe and the Motion of the Objects Within It.
Gravity: The learner will describe how all objects have a gravitational attraction towards one another and the amount of attraction is dependent upon the mass and distance between the objects.
Rotation and Revolution: The learner will define the terms rotation/revolution and relate the Earth's rotation/revolution throughout a course of a year on the Sun's position, visible sunlight, patterns of sunrise/sunset, and intensity of the sun due to Earth's position and axial tilt.
Earth and Planets: The learner will compare and contrast the Earth to other planets in our Solar
System based on the distance from the Sun, temperature, and atmosphere. Describe the characteristics of Earth including why the Earth is favorable to life.
Solar System: The learner will compare and contrast celestial objects, planets and major components of the solar system
