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!
