Instructional Ideas
- Direct pupils to make moon observations over the course of several days—have them draw and describe what they see at a specific time of day
- Flip your classroom; assign the link for homework then discuss its contents at school the next day
- Gather additional materials about the moon that learners can browse when time permits
Classroom Considerations
- An ad appears short after the start of the video
- Video is the eighth resource in a series of 18 created to inform leaners about astronomy and space
- Comments and video suggestions are visible if the video is not in full-screen mode
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Provides real-world pictures alongside computer images to thoroughly relay information
- Highlights key terms using bright, bold font
Cons
- The host is a fast talker, therefore, enable closed captioning, pause, and replay as you see fit
