Enduring understandings:

Students will understand that:

The relative positions and the movements of the Earth, Sun and Moon affect what we can see from Earth.

There are characteristics of the Earth, Sun and Moon that affect each other in many important ways.

A solar system is composed of many objects orbiting a common star.

Our Sun is just one star in a galaxy of billions of stars in a universe of billions of galaxies.

Energy produced when the universe first formed causes motion of the objects in it.

Gravity is a force of attraction among all forms of matter.
