About This Item
Description
Bridging research and practice, FOSS Third Edition Modules engage students and teachers in enduring experiences that lead to deeper understanding of science and engineering concepts, as well as the natural and designed world. The Sun, Moon, and Planets Module for Grades 4 to 6 focuses on Earth's place in the solar system. Students will get to collect and analyze shadow data; make and interpret a model of the Earth, Moon, and Sun system, as well as observe changes in the Moon's appearance over time.
In The Sun, Moon, and Planets Complete Kit with 4 hands-on investigation activities, students will specifically: observe and compare shadows during a school day; relate the position of the Sun in the sky to the size and orientation of an object's shadow; use celestial models to explain day and night; observe and record changes in the Moon's appearance every day for a month; analyze observational data to discover the sequence of changes that occur during the Moon's phase cycle; make and interpret a model of the Earth, Moon, and Sun system; record and display the organization of the solar system graphically; identify several constellations as stable, predictable patterns of stars; use models to build explanations; and use tools to collect and analyze data to develop logical conclusions about planetary objects in the sky.
