Some of the planets have one or more orbiting moons. Earth is a planet that has a moon. The moon orbits Earth. Gravitational forces between the sun and its planets cause the planets to orbit the sun. Gravitational forces between a planet and its moon(s) cause the moon(s) to orbit the planet. If no forces were present, planets and moons would continue their motion toward outer space without changes in speed or direction. However, gravitational forces between the sun and each planet continuously change the planet’s direction so it remains in orbit. In the same way, gravitational forces between each moon and its planet continuously change the moon’s direction so it remains in orbit.
6.2 The student will investigate and understand that the solar system is organized and the various bodies in the solar system interact. Key ideas include matter is distributed throughout the solar system; planets have different sizes and orbit at different distances from the sun; gravity contributes to orbital motion; and the understanding of the solar system has developed over time. 6.3 The student will investigate and understand that there is a relationship between the sun, Earth, and the moon. Key ideas include Earth has unique properties; the rotation of Earth in relationship to the sun causes day and night; the movement of Earth and the moon in relationship to the sun causes phases of the moon; Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the sun causes the seasons; and the relationship between Earth and the moon is the primary cause of tides.
MS-ESS1-4: Geological Time Scale - Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6 billion-year-old history. MS-ESS2-1: Convection of Magma - Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth's materials and the flow of energy that drives this process. MS-ESS2-2: Plate Movement Types - Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying times and spatial scales. MS-ESS2-3: Determine Past Plate Movement - Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.
