| Scientific Fact or Common Misconception In this section you have two simple but effective ways to explore your ideas on basic astronomy and those of your students. Might your ideas align with scientific fact or perpetuate common misconceptions? Start with the five-question survey to discover what "private theories" you have and how they might have originated. You can compare your ideas with those of other survey participants. Next, try out the model of the Moon's motions to test your hypotheses about how the Moon spins on its axis and orbits around Earth.
