By Andrew Bridges
Sun, Earth, and Moon: Our Star, Our Planet, Our Satellite introduces students to the Sun-Earth-Moon system. They discover that both the Sun and the Moon affect Earth in big ways. Students learn that the Sun is the center of the solar system and that it provides Earth and the other planets with light and heat. They discover why Earth is different from the other planets in the solar system. They also find out what causes day and night and the seasons on Earth. In addition, students learn how the Moon formed, why the Moon has phases, and how the Moon affects tides on Earth. At the end of each two-page spread, a brief statement called The Bottom Line reinforces students’ understanding by summing up the key ideas about natural resources covered in those pages.
