The Moon Also Rises: Investigating celestial motion models

The Science Teacher—September 2001

Investigating celestial motion models is the focus of this Earth-Moon-Sun (EMS) astronomy unit. The model involves relevant motions of these objects that can be used to explain Earth-based astronomical phenomena—day and night, sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset, Moon face, Moon phases, eclipses, and seasons.
