Objective: SWBAT model the movement of Earth to show which way is up and which way is down in different locations.
Chapter Question: Why is the sun up sometimes, but not other times?
Warm Up - Up and Down at One Time
Two KIPPsters were asked by their teacher to show which way was up and which way was down for two people on Earth. Their work from the modeling tool is below.

DIRECTIONS:
Go to the modeling tool HERE. (Log in with Amplify if you need to.)
Double click the Earth in Time 1 and rotate it so Person A would see the sun and Person B would see Orion. Use the purple dot to rotate the Earth.
Click the Earth in the Time 2 and rotate it so Person A would see Orion and Person B would see the sun.
Place an up/down arrow next to each person in both times to show which way is up and which way is down. Rotate them with the purple dot if you need to.
Then, use your model to answer the questions below.

Positions of the Moon as it Orbits Earth
Question 20
20.
The moon orbits (goes around) the Earth.
It takes the moon 30 days (about 1 month) to orbit (go around) the Earth.
When the moon and the sun are on the same side of earth, we can see the moon in the daytime.
When the moon is on the opposite side of earth as the sun, we cannot see the moon in the daytime.
