Earth- Moon-Sun System A system is an organized group of related objects or components that form a whole. Systems can consist, for example, of organisms, machines, fundamental particles, galaxies, ideas, and numbers. Systems have boundaries, components, resources, flow, and feedback

How would you Describe the motion of these objects? What patterns do I notice in this phenomenon? 2. What are the boundaries of this phenomenon? What are its components and how do they interact? 3. What is going on at the unobservable level to cause the observable features or processes? 4. What scale or scales account for this phenomenon and how do I describe it quantitatively? 5. How do energy and/or matter flow into, out of, or within the boundaries of the phenomenon? 6. How does the structure of the phenomenon (or its components) relate to its function?

Rotation vs. Revolution Rotate = the act of an object spinning on its axis Axis = in imaginary line that passes through a planet’s center and its north and south poles. A planet rotates on its axis. Rotation vs. Revolution  What are some objects in our everyday lives that rotate?  How would you define rotation?  What are some objects in our everyday lives that revolve?  How would you define revolution?  Revolution = The movement of an object around another object. Orbit = the path of an object as it revolves around another object in space
