The Earth in Space Complete Materials Package

The Earth in Space unit begins with an exploration of the day-night cycle and Earth’s rotation around its axis. Students then analyze data, and use models and a computer simulation to explore Earth’s axis tilt and revolution around the Sun, and to explain Earth’s year and seasonal changes in day length and average temperature. In the final activities of the unit, students investigate the relationship of the solar and lunar cycles to different calendars and predict how variations in these cycles and axis tilt would impact a planet.
Included are all materials for up to 5 classes of 32 students (or 160 students), Teachers Edition and Teacher Resources DVD, Online Teacher Portal for 7 years, which includes: Spanish versions, LABsent, PowerPoints, Teacher’s Edition, Student Book, and supplemental resources.
