Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • Patterns of the motion of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky can be observed, described, and predicted.
  • The orbits of Earth around the sun and of the moon around Earth, together with the rotation of Earth about an axis between its North and South poles, cause observable patterns. These include day and night; daily changes in the length and direction of shadows; and different positions of the sun, moon, and stars at different times of the day, month, and year.
