Third graders view a classroom simulation that demonstrates how the Earth's rotation creates day and night.

Students explore space science by participating in a sky observation activity. In this astronomy lesson, students define a list of astronomy vocabulary terms and examine star charts of the four seasons. Students gather with their...

First graders examine how the earth experiences day and night by using a flashlight and a globe as a model.

A lamp, four globes, and some signs taped around the room are all you need to set up a solar system simulation for teaching how Earth's tilted axis creates the seasons. (Sticky dots are also needed, but not mentioned in the materials...

Students discover that the Earth rotates on its axis in a cyclical fashion. They examine how this rotation results in day and night.

Third graders study the features of different moons orbiting the planets. In this astronomy lesson, 3rd graders explore the different phases of the moon using an interactive online website. They compare and contrast the features of the...

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...

Students explore space science by participating in a constellation identification activity. In this astronomy lesson plan, students view star charts based on the different seasons and define a list of astronomy related terms. Students...

Students explore space science by participating in a shadow experiment. In this sky observation activity, students identify how the sun creates different sized shadows by moving across the horizon. Students utilize yard sticks, markers,...

Third graders use flashlights and balls to demonstrate how the light bounces off of the sun and reflects onto the moon. They record their observations in a journal.

Students investigate about cycles through games, shared readings and a shared writing activity. They play a game of Ring Around the Rosie to be introduced to the concept of "cycle."

Students partipate in a demonstration in which they role play animals migrating between breeding and wintering habitats and encountering hazards at each end of the journey.

Students learn the proper form for throwing. Correct hand placement is demonstrated as imaginary and then real objects are thrown at a target. Tape is placed on one shoe and referred to as the tape toe to get the student in position for...

Pupils use their imagination. They discuss the 4 C's of teamwork: Concentration, Communications, Coomperation, and Consideration. Students discuss the safety guidelines of the project. They complete a rope maze. The group walks...
