Term 3, 2015

Welcome back for TERM 3!

MAJOR THEME - God is faithful and wants us to be

faithful.

KEY UNDERSTANDING - We see God's

faithfulness in the regularity of movement

within the Solar System.
WE ARE INVESTIGATING :
1. What is significant about the movement

of planets in our Solar System?
2. Why is the daily rotation of the Earth

important for us?
3. How does the rotation and revolution

of the earth affect different places?
4. How does the regular movement

of the Moon around the Earth affect us?
Our investigation will help us to begin

to understand the awesome sizes

and distances involved in a Solar

System created by an infinite God.

We will see the impact of the reliable

laws of gravity, which keep everything

from spinning out of control. We will

see the effects of our Moon on life

on earth. God's creation is awe-inspiring,

and a study of the Solar System can easily

result in a celebration of God!
