Analyze Data
1. How does the tilt of the Earth’s axis and the Earth’s revolution around the Sun cause
(8.2E & 8.3A)
seasons?
2. How does the Earth’s rotation cause day and night?
Model (8.7A & 8.3B)
3. What is the sequence of events in the lunar cycle in relationship to the cyclical movements
Demonstrate &
of the Moon’s revolution around the Earth compared to the position of the Sun?
4. What causes changes in water levels in the Earth’s bodies of water?
Predict (8.7B)

Tides
The phases of the moon are caused by the moon’s
position relative to Earth and the Sun.
8.7 (A) model and illustrate how the tilted Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun causing changes in seasons;
8.7 (B) demonstrate and predict the sequence of events in the lunar cycle;
8.7 (C) relate the position of the Moon and Sun to their effect on ocean tides.
