Grade 2 - 2.8c: explore the processes of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, & precipitation, as connected with weather conditions.
Grade 4 – 4.8b: describe & illustrate the continuous movement of water above and on the surface o Earth through the water cycle and explain the role of the sun as a major source of energy in this process
Grade 5 – 5.8b – explain how the Sun and the ocean interact in the water cycle.

The Sun
• At the Center (and we do go around it …..)
• 99.85% mass of Solar System
• 92% H / 8% He
• Source of solar wind and space weather
• Genesis Mission – solar wind• SOHO

THE SUN
Earth7900 mile (12756 km)
diameter
23 degree axis tilt (seasons!)
Surface temps –73 to 48 C
(-100 to 120F)
Thick atmosphere, mild greenhouse effect
Liquid water – lots! - at surface
Can see it without a telescope!
The Moon orbits around the Earth in 27.3 days (with stars) to complete a 360degree revolution around the Earth. This is known as a lunar month.
Because the Earth is revolving around the sun, it takes the Moon 29.5 days (with the Sun) to go through the phases.
The Moon receives its light from the Sun.

Earth and Moon to Scale
If Earth were a basketball, then the Moon would be a
tennis ball,
23.5 feet away
Moon Size
~ 1/4 width of Earth
Radius of 1080 miles
Gravity ~1/6 of Earth’s

Our Solar System

Grade 3 – 3.8d: identify the planets in Earth’s solar system and their position in relationship to the Sun.
Planets
Book it – Portrait sizeDoor It!
Close Doors
Sun at top
Pluto or Kuiper Belton bottom
Have students name the planets in their correctorder and distances apart.
Turn over to front and label it correctly by using the folds to determine where the planets are located.
Start with Sun at top andPluto at the bottom again.
2. Fold bottom halfto middle.Label it Neptune
1. Fold in HalfLabel it Uranus
3. Fold down from top. Label it Saturn.
4. Fold from top again.Label it Jupiter.
5. Fold over again From top to Jupiter and label it Mars.6. Fold over again from top to Mars and label it Earth.7. Add Mercury and Venus in between the Earth and the sun.8. Have students compare their answers on back to the front of their foldable.Use the doors to list the Terrestrial planets on right side and the Jovian planets on the left side.On the inside, use it for important facts and number of moons.

Outer Planets
• Large!
• Gases and liquids
• No solid surface
• May have a small solid core
• Tumultuous atmospheres - rapid winds, large storms
• Rotate relatively quicklyImage: Lunar and Planetary Laboratory: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/display.cfm?IM_ID=178

TEK FOLDERS
TEK Folders are created in all three grade levels using the TEKS that will be tested.
Front
Back
Folders are kept in the classroom with the subject test and any other important worksheets.
Students are given their folders at the end of the year, to be used when they are reviewing for their final semester test. They are encouraged to keep these folders to use their Eighth grade year and in high school!
Inside
They are used when the students are to take semester test and in 8th grade when they review for the STAAR test in the Spring!

Earth / Moon / Mars You will need: 6” melon 3” orange 1 1/2 inch lime
Scale: 1” = 1,319 miles (2,124 km)
Earth – Moon = 238,855 mi Sun – Earth = 93 million mi Sun – Mars = 141.6 million mi Earth-Mars (closest) = 48.7 million mi Earth-Mars (farthest) = 234.6 million mi
With fruit: Earth (melon) – Moon (lime) = 15.1 ft. Earth – Mars (orange) = .58 mi or about . mile Earth-Mars (farthest approach = 2.8 or about 3 miles Where is the space station? About the width of a finger away from Earth(melon)
Pocket Solar System Using a strip of paper, construct a quick scale model of the distances between the orbits of the planets, the Asteroid Belt, and Pluto as part of the Kuiper Belt.
Pull off a strip of register tape about the length of the height of your body – that’s about fingertip to fingertip.
Label one end “Sun“ and the other end “Pluto/Kuiper Belt.”
Fold in half – this would be Uranus
Fold in half again – the line between the Uranus and Pluto/Kuiper Belt is Neptune
The line between Uranus and the Sun is Saturn
Fold Sun to Saturn and crease – This is Jupiter
Sun to Jupiter – Asteroid Belt
Sun to Asteroid Belt – Mars
In the remaining small space between the Sun and Mars we need to fit: Mercury, Venus, Earth
