11/17 Warm-up: During which season is the earth closest to the sun? Class activities Study day Mid-Unit Test tomorrow All late work due FRIDAY I can: Demonstrate my knowledge of Earth in Space. Key vocabulary: radiant energy, accretion, ecliptic, elliptical, rotation, revolution, axis, sphere Standard- 6-8 ES1B Earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the Moon, the Sun, seven other major planets and their moons, and smaller objects such as asteroids, plutoids, dwarf planets and comets. These bodies differ in many characteristics (e.g., size, composition, relative position).

11/18 Warm-up: You have 3 minutes to study! Class activities EIS Mid-Unit Test Test Corrections start tomorrow at lunch/after school All late work due FRIDAY Key vocabulary: radiant energy, accretion, ecliptic, elliptical, rotation, revolution, axis, sphere I can: Demonstrate my knowledge of Earth in Space.

11/19 Warm-up: What does the word, circumpolar, mean? (hint: think about meaning of prefix and root) Class activities Return EIS mid-unit test Inquiry 4.3: EIS Test corrections at lunch/after school All late work due FRIDAY I can:I can: use data to explain the tilt of the Earth’s effect on day length. Key vocabulary: solar noon, radiant energy, accretion, ecliptic, elliptical, rotation, revolution, axis, sphere Standard- 6-8 ES1C Most objects in the Solar System are in regular and predictable motion. These motions explain such phenomena as the day, the year, phases of the Moon, and eclipses.
