Name: ______________________________________ Date: _______________ Chapter 13: Earth, Moon, and Beyond Science Test Study Guide Vocabulary: Please review the following vocabulary words and terms for the assessment. solar system galaxy planet universe star moon phase solar eclipse lunar eclipse waxing crescent moon time zone rotation orbit 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. constellation axis First-quarter phase revolve The gravitational force of a star holds this vocabulary word in orbit around it. Everything that exists, including planets, stars, dust, and gases. The shape the moon seems to have throughout a month. The sun is called this, which is a huge ball of very hot gases. This is made up of a star and all the planets and other objects that revolve around it. This contains a group of stars, gas, and dust. An imaginary line that passes through Earth’s poles. A pattern of stars. Science Concepts Discover the answer to each of the following statements/questions. 9. Understand facts about the planets in our solar system. 10. Be able to identify the phases of the moon. 11. Understand that Earth is the Only Earth has liquid water. 12. Know the types of galaxies . 13. Define the basis for timekeeping on Earth. 14. Know what causes seasonal changes on Earth. 15. Describe how Earth and the moon alike? 16. What happens with the sun’s rays when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere? Open Ended QUESTIONS Please take the time to construct a thorough paragraph answering all parts of the question. Inquiry Skills The pictures on the assessment will show a model of swinging a rock attached to a string. 17. If you tie a string to a rock and spin the rock in a circle, you are modeling the orbit of Earth (the rock) around the sun (your hand). What would happen if the string were only half as long and still being turned with the same force? Describe the length of the orbit and the speed of the rock. 18. Use time and space relationships to be able to compare Earth’s orbit around the sun and the moon’s orbit around Earth. Critical Thinking 19. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of crewed space explorations and space probes. 20. The diagram on the assessment will show two kinds of eclipses. One will have the Sun then the Earth then the moon. The other will have the Sun then the moon then the Earth. Part A: Identify the kind of eclipse shown in each diagram. Part B: Explain how you identified each diagram. Be able to define which eclipse is which and how they appear to you standing on Earth.
