ES Unit 5: ES: The Earth-Sun-Moon System

Unit Overview: The Earth-Sun-Moon System Unit Plan

What humans see and experience from Earth is largely explained by the Earth's relative motion and position. In this unit, students will explore simulators, 3-D models, and data in order to develop an understanding of celestial phenomena and create their own models that help explain concepts such as the apparent path of constellations and the Sun, seasons, and the phases of the Moon.
