The
Moon
The Moon inquiry is an investigation that allows students to conceptualize the Earth--Moon--Sun relationship in our solar system. In Moon Home Observation, students observe the moon's phases over a two to four week period. In Moondance, students model a lunar month using movement and music. In Moon Model, students participate in a model of the moon's orbit around the Earth. This thematic unit focuses on the concepts of phases, waxing vs. waning, gibbous vs. crescent, rotation, and eclipse. Moon light, moon bright, ~May Garelick |
