Essential Questions
What is the sun?
What is it composed of?
Where it is in respect to our solar system and
our galaxy?
How does the position of the sun, moon and
earth affect seasons, tides, phases of the
moon, and eclipses?
Pacing Guideline
10 days
Why is Earth the only planet in our solar
system that supports life?
Why are the other planet in our solar system
unable to support life as we know it based on
their characteristics (surface, atmosphere,
gravitational force, position in the solar
system).
What accomplishments were made in the
Race to Space (informal competition between
the Soviet Union and the United States), as
well as a later missions to space?
What space spin-offs are used now by our
society that were originally created for use in
space?
