 * ===**Common Core Standards**===
 * 6.E.1 Understand the earth/moon/sun system, and the properties, **** s **** tructures, and predictable motions of celestial bodies in the **
 * Universe. **

6.E.1.3 Summarize space exploration and the understandings gained from them.
|| ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== 6.E.1.1 Explain how the relative motion and relative position of the sun, Earth and moon affect the seasons, tides, phases of the moon, and eclipses. 6.E.1.2 Explain why Earth sustains life while other planets do not based on their properties (including types of surface, atmosphere and gravitational force) and location to the Sun. 6.E.1.3 Summarize space exploration and the understandings gained from them.
