YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME
ON IT! SOMEONE STILL NEEDS
TO HAND OUT FOLDERS.
• Date: 2/19
• LT: I can describe the rotation and
revolution of Earth and the moon.
• Sponge: Describe the motion of the
sun, earth, and moon. How do they
each move? How long do these
movements take?

TOMORROW!
Copy the following in
your index.
Rotation: to turn or spin
around itself
Revolution: to move around a
different object, also called
orbit
Then turn to a blank page in your notebook!

Discuss…
• How do we make up the ¼ day
in Earth’s revolution around the
sun?
• Talk about it at your table for
one minute – info managers, be
prepared to share!
Below your table…
• We have a leap year (an extra
day in February) every 4 years
to make up for the extra ¼ day
in Earth’s revolution!
More information…
• How does the size of the Earth
compare to other planets?

every ______________.
To do…
• Agenda
String Size Demo
Think, Pair, Share, Add
to your notes!
• Why do the moon and sun
appear the same size in the
sky?
• I will give candy for a good
answer
Think, Pair, Share, copy
below your table!
• The sun and the moon look the
same size because the moon is
smaller but it is also closer.
Sun Earth Moon Poster
• 1. You will get a poster and a
bucket of crayons.
• 2. Title your poster “Sun-EarthMoon Poster”. Put your name
below the title.

Sun Earth Moon Poster
• 11. In purple dotted lines with
arrows, draw the orbit of the
moon around the earth. It
should be a counterclockwise
circle!
• In purple, along your line, “28
days” since that is how long it
takes to orbit.
Sun Earth Moon Poster
• 12. In blue dotted lines with
arrows, draw the orbit of the
earth around the sun. It should
be a counterclockwise orbit!
• In blue, along your line, write
