Science/Earth and Space Science

appears to move across the sky in the same way every day.
(K-4)
-
An
object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring
its position over time. (K-4)
-
The
sun, moon, stars, clouds, birds, and airplanes all have properties,
locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
(K-4)<
- Most
objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion.
Those motions explain phenomena such as the day, the year, phases
of the moon, and eclipses. (5-8)
