of the test are seen here within these multiple choice questions. They can use their
workbook pages 272-357, plus they have additional notes and handouts in their folders.
The vocabulary they need to know can be found in quizlet and is as follows:
Altitude
Axis
Constellation
Cycle
Day
Distance from an object
Gravity
Hemisphere
Phases of the Moon
Light Years
Luminosity
Orbit
Revolve/ Revolution
Rotate / Rotation
Seasons
Solar System
Star
Sun
Year
Facts that make a Star or NOT a Star

If you have any questions please let us know. We will be going over the answers to this
packet on Tuesday.​ It will count as a completion grade.
Thank you,
Mrs. Thomson and Mrs. Rose
