If you throw a ball, where will it land? You can probably predict its motion. But what if you throw a ball inside a spaceship? Compare how objects move on Earth with how they move in space. Use special machines to investigate how forces affect the motion of everything around you.
In the Spotlight: Why is the Sun so bright? What can cause the sky to get dark in the middle of the day? To find answers, investigate how an object’s distance affects what you see, and build a model of objects in space. Along the way, ask yourself, How does my new knowledge help me understand the world?
