Earth's Movements and What We See in the Sky
Grade 1 - Space Systems: Patterns and Cycles
In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of when the Sun, Moon, and stars are visible and how they appear to move across the sky. They model each of these patterns of movement to explore how Earth rotates, how the Moon orbits Earth, and how Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun. Then students investigate the variation in the length of daytime during different seasons and learn that patterns can be used to predict the length of daytime over the course of a year.
