The Earth and Moon
By Oliver Smith
Roughly 4.5 billion years ago, Earth began to form as a result of matter clumping together due to gravitational attraction. Over time, these clumps of matter started crashing into each other, forming larger bodies that eventually would lead to planets and moons. The following activities will introduce students to the phases of the moon and how the orbit of the Moon affects life on Earth!
Storyboard Description
What causes seasons to change? Seasons are caused by direct light on a hemisphere, or indirect light!
