What are the differences between rotates and revolves?
Double Points if:
Whole Team Rotates on their axis then Revolves around the table.
Triple Points if:
Someone can do both!
Rotation is a spin that gives us day and night. Revolution has us in Orbit around the sun.

In what moon phase does a Solar Eclipse occur?
What is blocking? What is being blocked?
New Moon. The moon is blocking the sun and the moon half facing away from us is bright while we see the new "fully dark" moon and the sun's corona.

(Answer Using H.A.K. Method) Which statement describes the formation of a tide?
A. A Neap Tide will occur during a New Moon or Full Moon because the gravitational attraction between the Sun and Moon on the water is the weakest.
B. A Spring Tide will occur during a New Moon or Full Moon because the gravitational attraction between the Sun and Moon on the water is the strongest.
C. A Neap Tide will occur during the First or Third Quarter Moon because the gravitational attraction between the Sun and Moon on the water is the strongest.
D. A Spring Tide will occur during the First or Third Quarter Moon because the gravitational attraction between the Sun and Moon on the water is the weakest.
**Double Points if Done Correctly**

A. The mass and weight of the rock samples would not be affected.
B. The mass of the rock samples would increase, but the weight would stay the same.
C. The mass and the weight of the rock samples would change due to the change in gravity.
D. The mass of the rock samples would remain the same, but the weight would change due to the change in gravity.
D. The mass of the rock samples would remain the same, but the weight would change due to the change in gravity.
