What educators are saying

I really enjoyed this resource! It was a great review for the students and they seemed pretty engaged.
Great resource. I used it for my 6th graders and had them work in pairs to chunk the reading portions which worked really well. They were engaged and talking about the material as they completed the questions. Material was easy to follow and prep!

Standards

NGSSHS-ESS1-4
Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system. Emphasis is on Newtonian gravitational laws governing orbital motions, which apply to human-made satellites as well as planets and moons. Mathematical representations for the gravitational attraction of bodies and Kepler’s Laws of orbital motions should not deal with more than two bodies, nor involve calculus.
NGSSMS-ESS1-1
Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons. Examples of models can be physical, graphical, or conceptual.
