Predictable phenomena on Earth, including seasons and eclipses, are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth and the moon (ACSSU115)
– investigating natural phenomena such as lunar and solar eclipses, seasons and phases of the moon
– comparing times for the rotation of Earth, the sun and moon, and comparing the times for the orbits of Earth and the moon
– modelling the relative movements of the Earth, sun and moon and how natural phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses and phases of the moon occur
– explaining why different regions of the Earth experience different seasonal conditions
Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available (ACSHE119)
”

describes the dynamic nature of models, theories and laws in developing scientific understanding of the Earth and solar system SC4-12ES
ES2 Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence becomes available. Some technological developments and scientific discoveries have significantly changed people’s understanding of the solar system.
a. explain that predictable phenomena on the Earth, including day and night, seasons and eclipses are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the Earth and the moon (ACSSU115)
b. demonstrate, using examples, how ideas by people from different cultures have contributed to the current understanding of the solar system
d. describe some examples of how technological advances have led to discoveries and increased scientific understanding of the solar system
