Investigating the Earth-Moon-Sun System
Eighth graders research Native American legends involving the sun, moon, and stars and compare them to the origin of present day knowledge. They create a written report and make an oral presentation of their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Phases of the Moon
Pupils use a simple physical model of the Earth, sun, and moon to understand why the moon changes phases from the perspective of Earthly observers. They hold up balls representing the moon in a room with a single light source to see the...
Curated OER
Phases of the Moon
Students determine the phases of the moon. They observe experiments to formulate explanations for moon phases. Students identify waxing crescent, waning gibbous, and the causes of the phases.
Curated OER
Phases of the Moon
Students create a model of the phases of the Moon by giving students pictures of the phases of the Moon, a picture of the Earth, and a picture of the Sun. They then take a picture, and stand in correct place to make the phases of the...
Curated OER
Earth, Sun and Moon
Students investigate that the sun is at the center of the solar system through role play. One student is the sun and one student is the Earth. The students then show how the Earth orbits around the sun. Students view a flashlight and...
Curated OER
Phases of the Moon
Students research and identify the phases of the moon. They consider the moon's rotation, as well as that of the earth and sun. They write a description of their research and present it to the class.
Curated OER
Earth, Sun, and Moon
In this earth, sun, and moon practice activity, students examine 6 pictures and follow the instructions to shade in the part of the Earth that is in darkness.
Curated OER
The Moon
In this space science worksheet, students complete each of the statements with the correct word or phrase about the moon. Then they identify four ways that scientists believe the moon was formed, selecting one and writing a paragraph...
Curated OER
Working on the Moon
Students take a mission to the moon. For this space science lesson, students visit selected websites to discover information about Earth's moon and the solar system. Students may take virtual missions to the moon and share...

As the Earth Turns
First graders explore why the sun and moon seems to disappear and reappear creating day and night.
Curated OER
Earth Viewer
Students explore the Earth. In this space lesson, students view the " Earth and Moon Viewer" web site and complete a related worksheet.
Curated OER
Earth and Sun's Distance
Students consider the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. They view the first segment of Science Court video and use Timeliner software to construct a scale of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Curated OER
Sun and Moon Poetry Baskets
Students write Sun and Moon poetry. In this poetry lesson plan, students research the sun and the moon. They write poetry and create two class baskets for descriptive words about each.
