Investigation 9

Terms in this table:

• “Investigation” is the number of the investigation
• “Materials Concept Code” is a reference number based on the science concepts and processes listed in the Overview section of the teacher’s manual
• “Materials Concept” is the text of the science concept or processes listed in the teacher’s manual
• “Indicator Code” is a reference number based on Cumulative Progress Indicators from the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (2002)
• “Framework Indicator Text” is the text of the progress indicator; the conceptual “strand” for the indicator is in parentheses

Investigation	Materials Concept Code	Materials Concept	Indicator Code	Framework Indicator Text
09	c23	The Moon revolves around Earth and rotates on its axis; half of the Moon is lit by the Sun at all times.	5.09.6.B.2	2. Recognize that the sun's gravitational pull holds the planets in their orbits and that the planets' gravitational pull holds their moons in their orbits. (B. Solar System)
09	c23	The Moon revolves around Earth and rotates on its axis; half of the Moon is lit by the Sun at all times.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	c24	The portion of the Moon visible from the Earth is predictable.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	c25	Motions of Earth and the Moon due to gravity explain the day, year, seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.	5.09.6.A.1	1. Explain how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon, define units of time including: days, months, years. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	c25	Motions of Earth and the Moon due to gravity explain the day, year, seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.	5.09.6.A.2	2. Recognize that changes in the Earth's position relative to the sun produces differing amounts of daylight seasonally. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	c25	Motions of Earth and the Moon due to gravity explain the day, year, seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.	5.09.6.B.2	2. Recognize that the sun's gravitational pull holds the planets in their orbits and that the planets' gravitational pull holds their moons in their orbits. (B. Solar System)
09	c25	Motions of Earth and the Moon due to gravity explain the day, year, seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	c25	Motions of Earth and the Moon due to gravity explain the day, year, seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.	5.09.8.A.3	3. Explain how the tilt, rotation, and orbital pattern of the Earth relative to the sun produce seasons and weather patterns. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	p25	Use models and simulations to explain the mechanics of Moon phases and eclipses.	5.09.8.A.1	1. Investigate the Earth, moon, and sun as a system and explain how the motion of these bodies results in the phases of the moon and eclipses. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
09	p26	Use inferential thinking to predict the positions and motions of the dynamic Sun/Earth/Moon system that account for the day, year, seasons, and phases of the Moon.	5.09.6.A.1	1. Explain how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon, define units of time including: days, months, years. (A. Earth, Moon, Sun System)
