Imagine that no one on Earth used a calendar.  You need to develop a new calendar to make sense of the chaos. For your new calendar development you need to include the following: 1- describe the system you would use to organize days/months/years (for example our calendar organizes time based on the Earth’s rotation and revolution), 2-how and when would the different season occur, and 3- how time would be established (night and day). 

OR

There are parts of the Earth (Arctic and Antarctic Circle-Iceland, Sweden, Russia, NW Canada, etc) that experience “Midnight Sun” (sun never falls below the horizon- 24 hours sunlight) and “Polar Night” ( sun does not rise). 
Would you rather live through the “Midnight Sun” or “Polar Night” for 6 months? 

Essential Questions

How has technology expanded our knowledge of the universe?

What predictable patterns occur as a results of the interaction between the Earth, Sun, and Moon?

Why do inner and outer planets vary based on specific characteristics observed through NASA, scientists, and early civilization

Why is our calendar driven by Earth's rotation, revolution, and phases of the moon?

Earth Science relates to understanding about not only the Earth (planet), but the solar system as well. Even though you are going to gain and apply knowledge about the Earth and the solar system, there is debate about which to spend more money on for scientific research. Should we continue to fund more money in the scientific exploration research of planet Earth or the solar system?

OR

The exploration of our solar system has changed our world forever. Describe three ways this knowledge and understanding of the solar system has helped you grow from birth until now?
