Question Number 1: Students will understand that the earth's and moon's motions affect the tides and climate of earth. Explain what you know.
Tides are caused by the different fazes of the moon. The moon rotates around our planet. When it rotates the sun shines of different angels of the moon and therefor we can only see the light part of the moon. When the moon is completely black which means that the sun is not shining on the moon and therefor it is not seen and that causes tides. When the moon is not partly hiding behind the earth and the sun is shining on it completely that causes tides too. There are 4 tides in a day. 2 low and 2 high tides. The new moon causes low tides which causes the water to push out the sides of the earth. When there is a full moon that causes high tides which makes the water on top and bottom of the earth push out.
Question Number 2: Students will understand that scientists are using the knowledge they have of Earth's surface and atmosphere in search of extraterrestrial life. Explain what you learned.
Our earth has helped us understand what a future earth will need in order to support human life. If we were to ever need another earth, which we will at some point it needs to be similar to what we have know and have the features that earth has so it is able to support human, animal and plant life. Most important features are; water, atmosphere, land, oxygen and minerals.
4. How has the development on technology and space flight helped astronomers learn more about the other parts of the solar system and the structure of the universe?
