"SEM System: Rotation & Revolution"

Bellwork:
1) Draw a picture of a crescent moon.
2) The Sun is a star: true or false?
3) Do you think there is life on other planets in our solar system? Why or why not?

- DEFINE "bodies": There a lot of objects in space: planets, stars, moons, asteroids, etc., and we call them collectively “bodies”

REVOLVE: The orbiting of one object around another
- Diagram the SEM system: the 3 bodies, rotation, revolution, and the SEM system altogether (a 4-box diagram)
- Exit Slip:
Two things I learned today are…
One thing I want to know is…
