Grade 2 - 2.8c: explore the processes of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, & precipitation, as connected with weather conditions.
Grade 4 – 4.8b: describe & illustrate the continuous movement of water above and on the surface o Earth through the water cycle and explain the role of the sun as a major source of energy in this process
Grade 5 – 5.8b – explain how the Sun and the ocean interact in the water cycle.

The Moon orbits around the Earth in 27.3 days (with stars) to complete a 360degree revolution around the Earth. This is known as a lunar month.
Because the Earth is revolving around the sun, it takes the Moon 29.5 days (with the Sun) to go through the phases.
The Moon receives its light from the Sun.

TEK Folders are created in all three grade levels using the TEKS that will be tested.
Front
Back
Folders are kept in the classroom with the subject test and any other important worksheets.

Students are given their folders at the end of the year, to be used when they are reviewing for their final semester test. They are encouraged to keep these folders to use their Eighth grade year and in high school!
Inside
They are used when the students are to take semester test and in 8th grade when they review for the STAAR test in the Spring!

Density = Mass/ Volume Speed = Distance/Time
Divide M D

W F W
F D M A M A(g)
Work = Force x Distance Force = Mass x Acceleration Weight = Mass x Acceleration
Add Units – helps with identifying what is being asked in the test question!

Earth / Moon / Mars You will need: 6” melon 3” orange 1 1/2 inch lime
Scale: 1” = 1,319 miles (2,124 km)
Earth – Moon = 238,855 mi Sun – Earth = 93 million mi Sun – Mars = 141.6 million mi Earth-Mars (closest) = 48.7 million mi Earth-Mars (farthest) = 234.6 million mi
With fruit: Earth (melon) – Moon (lime) = 15.1 ft. Earth – Mars (orange) = .58 mi or about . mile Earth-Mars (farthest approach = 2.8 or about 3 miles Where is the space station? About the width of a finger away from Earth(melon)

Pocket Solar System Using a strip of paper, construct a quick scale model of the distances between the orbits of the planets, the Asteroid Belt, and Pluto as part of the Kuiper Belt.
Pull off a strip of register tape about the length of the height of your body – that’s about fingertip to fingertip.
Label one end “Sun“ and the other end “Pluto/Kuiper Belt.”
Fold in half – this would be Uranus
Fold in half again – the line between the Uranus and Pluto/Kuiper Belt is Neptune
The line between Uranus and the Sun is Saturn
Fold Sun to Saturn and crease – This is Jupiter
Sun to Jupiter – Asteroid Belt
Sun to Asteroid Belt – Mars
In the remaining small space between the Sun and Mars we need to fit: Mercury, Venus, Earth
