5-PS2-1. Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down

5-ESS1-1. Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.

*investigation of mass and weight on different planets

*creation of a sun dial to help students understand shadows and the movement of the Earth in relation to the sun

*Layers of the Atmosphere activity

*Making a model to understand moon phases

*Analyzing Data of Sunrise and Sunset

*Investigating Constellations
