Phases
The Moon for $200
Why would an object
weigh more on the

About 28 days.
The Moon for $500
Why do we only see
one side of the moon
from the Earth?
The Moon for $500
We only see one side of
the moon because its
revolution and its
rotation take exactly
the same amount of
time.
Weather for $100

the air that
surrounds the earth?
Weather for $100
The layer of air that
surrounds the Earth
is called the

affect the water
cycle?

It heats the water
and causes it to
evaporate.

by which water
vapor becomes
cloud droplets?
Water for $500

as it moves from one
material into
another
