a. The Sun goes around the Earth. True or false?
False
It takes day for the Earth to spin around. True or false?
True

8. Ms. Gerstein’s Diagram

9. Guided Practice: Hallway Diagram

10. Activity
You are going to draw a diagram that should include the Sun, Earth, and Moon
With arrows, label how those bodies rotate and revolve
Make sure you label how long it takes each body to do so
Remember, the Sun is the biggest body, then the Earth, then the Moon
