ESS1B - Earth and the Solar System

In this video Paul Andersen explains the parts of the Solar System; including the planets, dwarf planets, moons and asteroids. He explains how everything orbits around the Sun and how a proper understanding of this heliocentric model helps to explain planetary motions, eclipses, seasons, phases and even day and night. A teaching progression K-12 is also included.
