To kick start Case Study 1, we looked at the movement of Earth in relation to the Sun and Moon. We did a lot of research by watching and interactive video that gave us quiz questions throughout, testing that we were paying attention and taking in all of the facts. We then came together as a crew to make a video that detailed everything we learned. Our main facts were:
- The Earth moves in two different ways: 1. It rotates on its axis. 2. It orbits around the Sun.
- It takes the Earth 24 hours (1 day) to rotate fully on its axis.
- It takes the Earth 365 and a quarter days (1 year) to orbit the Sun.
- When we are facing towards the sun, we get day time.
- When we are facing away from the sun, we get night time.
- The Sun appears to move across the sky but it doesn’t.
- The Sun stays where it is and Earth’s rotation makes it disappear.
