Gravity and Orbits PhET Simulation
Students use a PhET computer simulation of the Earth and Sun orbit to see how different variables affect the orbit and the force of gravity between the two objects. In this computer model, students change variables (mass and distance) of the Earth and Sun to see how they affect the force of gravity and the orbit of the Earth. In the first part of the activity, students observe the Earth’s orbit around the sun under ”normal” conditions. In part 2, students look at the relationship between mass a

What is an eclipse? Interactive Lesson (works as sub plans, too)
This interactive lesson teaches students about eclipses. Students engage with two interactive websites using this resource. Students will even run a simulation to see what the Solar Eclipse of 2017 looked like from their location. The write-up has students working individually as they engage with two interactive websites. This activity also pairs nicely with an interactive Pear Deck slide show as a follow-up that I also have available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store both separately and as
