Number: SC.4.E.5.In.4
Category: Independent
Date Adopted or Revised: 02/08
Big Idea: Earth in Space and Time : Humans
continue to explore Earth's place in space.
Gravity and energy influence the formation of
galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy,
stars, the Solar System, and Earth. Humankind's
need to explore continues to lead to the
development of knowledge and understanding of
our Solar System.

Lesson Plan
Name
Our Super Star:
The Lunar Cycle:
Description
Our star, the Sun, is an ordinary star. It is not particularly special
compared to other stars in the universe; however, it is crucially
important to us. As the massive energy source at the center of our
solar system, the Sun is responsible for Earth's climate, weather,
and life. In this lesson, students use observations, activities, and
videos to learn basic facts about the Sun. Students also model the
mechanics of day and night and use solar energy to make a tasty
treat.
In this lesson, students learn about the Moon's changing appearance
and its pattern of movement. Through class discussion, activities,
and multimedia resources, students explore the phases of the Moon
and are introduced to the concept of orbital motion. The Moon,
Earth's only natural satellite, is easily observed with the naked eye.
Over the course of one month, students observe and investigate its
full range of appearances and its pattern of movement in the sky.
Students then model the sun, earth and moon system in the
classroom.
