QUESTIONS WITH 100%
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS.
Scientific Inquiry - answer -The diverse ways in which scientists
study the natural world and propose explanations based on the
evidence derived from their work.
Features of Scientific Inquiry - answer -1. Learner engages in
scientifically oriented questions
2. Learner gives priority to evidence in responding to questions
3. Learner formulates explanations from evidence
4. Learner connects explanations to scientific knowledge
5. Learner communicates and justifies explanations
Steps of Scientific Inquiry - answer -1. Figure out the problem -
use 5 senses, observe world around you
2. Research - educate yourself on how to solve your
problem/answer question, go to library/online/ask an expert,
gather information

3. Hypothesis - educated guess on how to solve your
problem/answer question (if ... then ...)
4. Experiment
5. Analyze results
6. Conclusion - did you solve your problem/answer question?
why/why not? what is next?
7. Communicate your results
Earth-Moon-Sun Interactions - answer -1. Rotation and
Revolution
2. Moon Phases
3. Eclipses
4. Seasons
5. Tides
1. Rotation and Revolution - answer -The moon and Earth revolve
and rotate. Rotation is when a planet or moon turns all the way
around or spins on its axis one time.
The axis of rotation is an imaginary line going from the north pole
to the south pole.

When a planet or moon travels once around an object this is
considered a revolution.
On Earth, a rotation is pretty short - it happens once a day! It is
the rotation that makes the sun appear to come up in the morning
and set at night. On Earth, a revolution is quite a bit longer - one
year!
The moon is a little different. The moon rotates once about every
27-29 days, and revolves once about every 27-29 days. So every
time the moon goes around Earth it turns around one time. That is
why the moon always looks the same - we only ever see one side
of it!
2. Moon Phases - answer -The Moon has phases because it
orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to
change.
The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase
cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days.
The Moon spends the extra 2.2 days "catching up" because Earth
travels about 45 million miles around the Sun during the time the
Moon completes one orbit around Earth.
