Here are the main standards taught during the 1st quarter
MS-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.
MS-ESS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
MS-ESS1-3. Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.
This unit's focus:
Describe the role of Gravity in the motions of galaxies and our Solar System
Understand the basics of a life cycle of stars
Learn the terms and ideas of solar and lunar eclipses
