How do we know that the Sun is at the center of our solar system? This scientific theory is know as heliocentrism. This fascinating book looks at the historical controversies that surround the theory of heliocentrism and tells the stories of the scientists who worked on the theory. It also examines how the theory of heliocentrism was arrived at, how it was tested, and what impact the theory has had on our understanding of science today.

A solar system is a complex system containing a star and a group of planets, moons, and other bodies that move around the star. In our solar system, that star is the sun. With the help of this innovative volume, readers will learn about many of the wonders of our solar system. Numerical figures are used throughout the book to help readers understand and learn important facts about the solar system, many of which also support and reinforce key elementary science curricula.

A book that follows NGSS standards for teaching science about the solar system and Earth. This book meets both of the following standards: 1-ESS1-1.Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include that the sun and moon appear to rise in one part of the sky, move across the sky, and set; and stars other than our sun are visible at night but not during the day.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of star patterns is limited to stars being seen at night and not during the day.]1-ESS1-2.Make observations at different times of year to relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on relative comparisons of the amount of daylight in the winter to the amount in the spring or fall.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to relative amounts of daylight, not quantifying the hours or time of daylight.]. This is a great book for first graders interested in space and wanting to learn more about what happens on Earth.
