Quarter 4: The Earth, Moon, and Sun

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Mr. Bruss’s Science class, its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new knowledge and new information, to boldly go where no class has gone before!

In this unit we will be taking a look at the formation of the Solar System, the planets, and the relationship between the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. These relationships are the reason we experience so many different things from day and night, seasons, moon phases, and even the passing of time in years. Click on the topics below to explore the different aspects of the Earth's relationship with the rest of the solar system.
