ANSWER KEY Constellation Activity CERClaim (Write a sentence stating what cause the position ofconstellations.)- Constellations change with each season because ofEarth’s position around the sun.Evidence (Provide evidence from the activity to supportyour claim. Describe the positions of the constellationsduring the spring season.)- We see that there are multiple spring constellationsthat are only visible in the spring like Bootes. We findthat the Big Dipper and Little Dipper have differentnames depending on the season they are viewed in.Reasoning (Explain how your evidence supports your claim.Give examples to explain your reasoning.)-Ursa Major and Minor are another name for Big andLitter Dipper.

Big Ah-Ha ThesisBig Ah-Ha ThesisThe purpose of this standard was for to understandthe positions of the sun, moon, and Earth, constellations,and the resulting moon phases and eclipses. We completedthe moon table, moon, earth, and sun model, andconstellation activity to gather evidence.We watched the moon for 28 days to see how themoon changed through the days. Some nights the moonwas not visible at the viewing times. Through this activity,we learned the 8 phases of the moon.With the Moon, Earth, and Sun model, we could seethe relationship between the Moon, Earth, and Sun, andthe resulting moon phase or eclipse. We could move themoon around the Earth, and the Earth around the sun tosee the cause and effect between them.In the constellation activity, we saw springconstellations, and what causes the constellations. Thishelped us see why knowing these constellation patternscould benefit us when viewing the night’s sky.Each activity was helpful in finding evidence, andexploring reasoning to support the claims made.The purpose of this standard was for to understand thepositions of the sun, moon, and Earth, constellations, andthe resulting moon phases and eclipses.

with a New Moon, notice that the sun, moon, and earth are in alignment, with the moon in between the earth and sun. This is an angle of 0o. Since the moon orbits the earth in a counter-clockwise direction, the angle formed between the sun and moon as observed from earth increases, with the moon on the left-side of the sun. Since

Moon Orbits the Earth The moon revolves (orbits) the Earth every 27.3 days and rotates on its axis every 27.3 days. This causes the same side of the moon to always face the earth.
