Day 1 - Estimating
Math – Space Theme
Standards:
Standard 2 Number and Operations: GLE 0206.2.3 Use efficient and accurate strategies to develop fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction.
Objectives:
TSWBAT estimate the distances of planets using a number line.
TSWBAT understand the rules for estimating by filling out a worksheet.
Materials:
Dry Erase Board and Markers
List of estimating examples
Mini solar system worksheet and number line (one for each student)
Set/Focus:
Activate Background Knowledge – In 1986, there was an event that took place in the United States called Hands across America. People from across the country came together and held hands. They wanted to see how many people it would take to make a chain that went from the west coast to the east coast. They estimated that there would be over 5 million people. When the event took place, it took 6.5 million people to make the chain.
Involve All – How many students do you think it would take to make a chain from one end of the classroom to the other? Everyone write your guess down on a piece of paper. Write down the guesses on the board.
Relate to Real Life – Have students form a chain holding hands and figure out how many students it would take to stretch from one end of the room to the other. Compare the answers. Were some too many? Too few?
Label Learning – Today we are going to talk about estimating
Instruction:
1. What did we just do? We were estimating. Estimating is used when we are trying to make a guess about something. We sometimes use it when we are dealing with money, telling time, or figuring out a distance.
2. Write some examples up on the board and explain that if the last digit of a number is 1, 2, 3, or 4, they will round down. If the last digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round up. 34 = 30143 = 140705 = 71059 = 608 = 10(After giving a couple examples, call on students to help answer)
3. Give each child a number line and planet worksheet (See attachment)4. Tell the students: Our solar system is very, very big. If we were to travel to the other end
of the solar system it could probably take years to get there. We are going to pretend that there is a very small solar system out there where the planets are pretty close together. On the worksheet that you just got, I want you to put the distances on the number line and then estimate the distances to the nearest ten.
5. Remember:
If the last digit is 1, 2, 3, or 4, round down.
If the last digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round up to the next ten.
6. Take up the worksheet when the students are finished.
Closure
As the students are finishing up and turning in their worksheet, have each student estimate a number that you give them. This can be their exit slip to make sure you see if they understand the basic concept of estimating.
Additional Practice:
“Kerlop Goes on a Vacation” Worksheet (See Attachment)
Kerlop Goes on a Vacation!Kerlop is an alien who lived on the planet Shrenot. He is going on vacation to visit the other planets in his galaxy. He wants to know approximately how many miles he will have to travel throughout his entire trip. His first stop is 54 miles away. The next planet is 17 miles from the first one. The third planet is 68 miles away from the second one.
1. Estimate the amount of miles it will take Kerlop to get to planet 2.
2. Estimate how many miles it will take for Kerlop to get home after his vacation.

Day 2 - Regrouping
Math – Space Theme
Standards:
Standard 2 – Numbers and Operations; GLE 0206.2.3 Use efficient and accurate strategies to develop fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction.
Objectives:
TSWBAT find the sum of two-digit number addition problems.
TSWBAT use the base-ten blocks to represent the sum of addition problems.
Materials:
2-Digit number Space flash cards
Base-Ten Blocks
Paper
Pencil
Set/Focus:
Activate Background Knowledge: How many of you play sports, watch sports or have a favorite sport?
Involve All: Share your favorite sport with the person sitting next to you.
Relate to Real Life: Do you ever have to do math when you play sports or other activities? (Keeping score, counting players to make sure there are enough) Is it more fun to play sports by yourself or in groups?
Label Learning: Today we are going to play a game using the base-ten blocks and adding.
Instruction:
Divide the students into groups of 2 by folding the line (form one big line and have the two on the end pair up and then the next two on the ends pair up, etc.)
Give each pair a set of Space Cards with the instruction sheet Explain the game to the students:
o Place the cards face down on the table.
o Take turns drawing a pair of cards.o Show each number on the cards with base-ten blocks.o Now, combine the blocks to show the sum. (Try to use the fewest blocks
possible.)o Write down the problems on a separate sheet of paper and make sure you put the
sum!o If the sum of a pair of cards is 100, keep the cards.o Continue playing until all of the cards have been paired to make 100.
Closure:
For a closing activity, give each group a more difficult problem to solve using the base-ten blocks. Then have students write their problem down and the sum and turn it in at the end of the lesson.
Final addition problems:
o 115 + 58o 142 + 16o 85 + 122o 69 + 82o 180 + 14o 110 + 72o 36 + 123o 145 + 35o 117 + 56o 137 + 16o 95 + 73

Day 3 - Regrouping
Math – Space Theme
Standards:
Standard 2 – Number and Operations, GLE 0206.2.3 Use efficient and accurate strategies to develop fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction.
Objectives:
TSWBAT solve 2 digit numbers using regrouping.
TSWBAT create their own addition problems that require regrouping for a partner to solve.
Materials:
Index Cards
Pencil
White board and dry erase markers
Regrouping Addition Worksheet
Set/Focus:
Activate Background Knowledge: Put up a simple 2-digit addition problem on the board making sure you draw the numbers in columns so the students can see the tens and ones column.
Relate to Real Life: We solved problems like these last week so this should be review for you.
Involve All: On your hands I want you to show me how many fingers would you hold up to represent the sum of the “ONES” column? (8) How many fingers would you hold up to represent the sum of the “TENS” column?
Label Learning: Today we are going to talk about regrouping and how to solve problems that change the place value of numbers.
Tens Ones 3 2 + 4 6
Instruction:
Show students examples of how you solve an addition problem when regrouping is necessary. Use the following examples:
26 + 35 55 + 27 39 + 53 64 + 28
Split students into groups of 2 and have them work through the problems on the regrouping addition worksheet (See Attachment).
When they are finished they can bring their worksheet to you and you can check the problems with the answer sheet (See Attachment).
Closure:
Pass out the index cards (One card for each student). Have the students each write down an addition problem that requires regrouping on one side of the card. Have the students pass their card to their partners and their partners have to solve the problem. Return the cards to the original owners and they now check to see if their partner solved the problem correctly.
Ms. Brobst
Day 4 – Regrouping and Problem Solving
Math – Space Theme
Standards:
Standard 2 – Number and Operations, GLE 0206.2.3 Use efficient and accurate strategies to develop fluency with multi-digit addition and subtraction.
Objectives:
TSWBAT solve addition problems that require regrouping twice.
TSWBAT create a word problem that contains an addition problem requiring regrouping.
TSWBAT solve a classmate’s word problem that contains an addition problem requiring regrouping.
Materials:
Whiteboard and dry erase markers
Regrouping worksheet
Write Your Own Word Problem worksheet
Alien addition worksheet
Set/Focus:
Activate Background Knowledge/ Relate to Real Life: Give each child the alien addition worksheet. This will be review of yesterday’s regrouping problems.
Involve All: Work with a partner to complete the worksheet. See if you can figure out the way to get the most aliens in the ship.
Label Learning: We are going to continue working on regrouping, but today we are going to solve problems that require us to regroup twice.
Instruction:
Some addition problems don’t require us to regroup at all, some we have to regroup once and others we have to regroup more than once. Here is an example:
49 + 51 = 100 74 + 38 = 112 99 + 9 = 108 87 + 75 = 162
Now that we have done some examples together, I want you to work on some problems on your own.
(Pass out the Regrouping worksheet – See Attachment) Allow students enough time to work through the problems and ask questions as they
come up. Pass out the “Write your own word problem” worksheet (See Attachment) Read the instructions to the students and give them time to write their responses. Take up the worksheets.
Closure:
Pass the word problem worksheets back out to different students. Have them put their name at the bottom of the page and solve their classmate’s problem. Collect the papers at the end.
Name:
Alien Addition
These aliens want to ride on the spaceship, but the space ship will only hold 50 lbs. Their weights are listed below. Using addition, see how many aliens you can get onto to the spaceship without going over the weight limit. You might need to use a separate sheet of paper to jot down some addition problems. Cut out the aliens if that is more helpful.

TSWBAT solve a 2-digit subtraction problem using paper and pencil.
Materials:
Base-Ten Blocks
Flash Cards (1 set for each pair) (See Attachment)
Paper
Pencils
Set/Focus:
Activate Background Knowledge/Relate to Real Life: How many of you remember what the answer is called in a subtraction problem? (An addition problem has a sum.) It is called a difference.
Involve All: On a piece of paper, write down in your own words what a subtraction problem is. Take up definitions.
Label Learning: Today we are going to start talking about how to subtract multiple digits.
Instruction:
Split the class into groups of 2 students. Have each group get a set of base-ten blocks and a set of flash cards. The students will also need paper and pencils Have them count out 99 on their table with the blocks. The flash cards should be picture up on the table.
Each student takes turns drawing a card and as they do, they have to take away that many blocks from their 99.
They also need to write their subtraction problems down. (for example, if the first card drawn is a 12, then the first problem would be 99-12 = 87 and then the next problem would start with 87 - ?)
After the group has worked through the cards, they can clean up their materials and turn in their worksheet.
Closure:
Give students 3 problems on the board to solve as assessment. They should write these on a piece of their own paper.

Week 7– Monday’s Lesson (Nov. 28th): PrewritingLanguage Arts- Ms. Ketron
Theme- Space
StandardsStandard 3- GLE 0201.3.2 Employ various prewriting strategies- 0201.3.3 Brainstorm ideas with teachers and peers, use graphic organizers independently and/or in group, and use a variety of resources to gather information
Objectives- TSWBAT plan a story using a 5 senses prewriting sheet.
MaterialsPrewriting sheets
SetABK/RRL - How many of you have ever had trouble writing? What was so hard about trying to write? Did you do anything special to try and help you write?IA- With your partner I want you to talk about these things. (Then talk as a big group). LL- For the next week we are going to be working on writing and the writing process. Today, we are going to work on some prewriting strategies so we can have an easier time writing.
Instruction- Ask them if they have ever heard of brainstorming. - Write down what they think it is (brainstorm on the board).- Explain what brainstorming and prewriting help us do. - Brainstorming is a type of prewriting. Prewriting helps us figure out what we want to write about. We actually just did a brainstorm on the board of what we thought brainstorming was. - Explain that there are different types of prewriting. - Brainstorming - Charts - Free write - Etc. - Tell them that they are going to write a short story about space and we’re going to start off by doing a 5 senses prewriting sheet. - Introduce the 5 senses prewriting paper. As a class we will fill one out together so they understand how to do it. It will be about a new planet they helped discover. - For their prewriting they do not have to write complete sentences they can just list things. They don’t need to write sentences because they will be doing that tomorrow. - After the 5 senses paper is filled out about a new planet tell them that they are going to write about a new planet in space by themselves. Read them the prompt. - After the prompt has been read give them a 5 senses prewriting sheet and have them fill this out on their own. They can be as creative as they want.
Closure - Go around the room and have them share one thing about their planet. - Students will turn in their prewriting sheets so I can make sure they have been completed. They will get a completion grade for it.
Prompt
You are so lucky! You have been chosen as the first student to go into space. You’re
going to go up in a space ship and spend your time with astronauts as they discover a new planet.
Since it’s a new planet you get to help them name it and explain what it is like to other people.
Since you’re the first student to go up in space everyone back home is so curious about what the
new planet is like. Everyone keeps asking you to tell them what the new planet is like, and so
you decide to write a little paper on what it’s like so you can just hand it out to people who want
to know so don’t have to explain it a hundred times. To make it easier for people to understand
you decide to write it using your 5 senses.

Week 7– Tuesday’s Lesson (Nov. 29th): Drafting Language Arts- Ms. Ketron
Theme- Space
StandardsStandard 3- 0201.3.1 Write to describe, entertain, and inform. - 0201.3.5 Compose first drafts using the appropriate parts of the writing process with an emphasis on planning, organizing and self correcting.
Objectives- TSWBAT compose a first draft of a creative informational story.
MaterialsPaper
SetABK/RRL/IA- Who remembers what we did yesterday in language arts? Turn to your partner and tell them what we did yesterday. Maybe even tell them what you wrote about. LL- Today, you are going to write your first draft of your awesome story.
Instruction - Turn their 5 senses prewriting back to them so they can use it to write their story. - Tell them that their prewriting paper will be very helpful for them to use because it has all their thoughts written on it, and they can just turn those thoughts into sentences.- Tell them what you want their writing to look like. - It needs to include all their 5 senses. - They can be as creative as they want. - They need to come up with a title to their story - They need to write the story in their best handwriting. If they want they can do it in cursive. - Best handwriting means that others can read it and the words need to be spaced out (finger space).- Show them the example of what it could look like and sound like by using the prewriting sheet from yesterday.- After you have read them the story ask them to tell you the different parts (the 5 different senses). Underline or highlight the different parts with different colors so they can see that there are 5 sense included. - Students will have around 30 minutes to write their paper.
ExampleTitle: My New PlanetI went into space and discovered a new planet. My new planet is named Awesome. It smelled like dirty feet. It looked like a rainbow and tasted like cotton candy. It felt squishy like mud. The planet made a walrus sound.
Closure - They will turn in their stories and will get a completion grade (the whole story will be graded after they have made it through the all the steps in the writing process). I will look over it to make sure that their handwriting is legible and their story is complete. - After they have turned in their stories I will go around and ask them what they titled their story.
Week 7– Wednesday’s Lesson (Nov. 30th): RevisingLanguage Arts- Ms. Ketron
Theme- Space
StandardsStandard 3- 0201.3.4 Revise first drafts for clearer meaning, correct capitalization and punctuation. - 0201.3.5 Evaluate own and other people’s written work.- 0201.3.10 Evaluate own and other people’s written work through small group discussion and shared work.
Objectives- TSWBAT revise their peer’s story using a checklist. - TSWBAT revise their own paper using peer comments.
MaterialsPeer editing checklists
SetABK/IA/RRL- So yesterday we wrote our stories about space. I want you turn to someone sitting next to you and tell them what your story is about. LL- Today, you are going to be revising each other’s stories you wrote yesterday.
Instruction - Explain what revision is. - When we revise we try and make our story better. - We want to look to see if the story makes sense. - We also make suggestions for what we think would make the story better. - After we have revised our story or our partner’s story we then rewrite the story with the suggestions. - As a whole class we are going to revise my story together using a peer response form, and then they are going to read and respond to your friend’s story.- Give them a peer response form and explain it to them. - Read them the example again and also put it up on the board so they can see it the whole time.- As a whole class use the peer response form to correct my example. - After we have corrected my story as a class have them get into pairs. In these pairs they will swap stories and use the peer response form to correct the paper. (around 20 minutes)- After the papers have been looked at by their friends they will then look at the peer response form and make the corrections (rewrite if needed). (around 20 minutes)
ExampleTitle: My New PlanetI went into space and discovered a new planet. My new planet is named Awesome. It smelled like dirty feet. It looked like a rainbow and tasted like cotton candy. It felt squishy like mud. The planet made a walrus sound.
Closure- Students will turn in their peer response forms and rewritten papers for completion. - Before they leave everyone will go around and say one thing that they changed in their paper.

MaterialsEditing checklist Writing paper
SetABK/RRL/IA- Yesterday we revised our stories. Does anyone know what editing is? Turn to your partner and tell them what you think editing is. LL- Today, you are going to be editing your friend’s story.
Instruction - Explain what editing is - It’s similar to revising, but when we edit we look at the grammar. - We check for capitalization, punctuation, and things like that. - We also make sure the story makes sense.- Tell them that they will exchange their rewritten papers from yesterday with a new partner so they can peer edit them.- They will use the peer editing sheet below. - They will first read their peer’s story and then use the checklist to correct it. - They will have about 15 or 20 minutes to edit their peer’s paper.- After the papers have been edited by their peers they will then rewrite them. These will be their final drafts.- Remind them that these are their final drafts so they need to be written in their best handwriting.
Closure - I will go around the room and each student will say one thing that they changed from their first draft to their final draft.
- Students won’t turn in their final draft yet because they will be doing one more thing to their final story tomorrow.

Standards:
GLE 0207.6.1 Realize that the sun is our nearest star and that its position in the sky appears to change.
GLE 0207.6.2 Make observations of changes in the moon’s appearance over time.
Objectives:
TSWBAT memorize the mnemonic for the planets order.
TSWBAT memorize the order of the planets in the Solar System.
Materials:
Facts about the Solar System (Attached)
SmartBoard
Solar System Pictures
Paper
Set:
ABK/IAL/RRL: Who has ever heard about the Universe is before? What about the Solar System? How about the planets? Turn to a neighbor and tell them what you know. Have several groups tell you what they know.
LL: Today we are going to learn about the Solar System and its nine planets
Instruction:
Tell facts about the Solar System. (Attached)
It is composed of the Sun, nine planets, and the asteroid belt.
Display picture of each on SmartBoard as talking about each piece of the solar system.
After talking about each planet, ask if anyone remembers the correct order of the planets.
Take a few volunteers to see if anyone does.
Now tell them you are going to teach them a mnemonic device (something to help you remember) that is going to help them remember the order of the planets.
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto
Go through it several times to get them to memorize it.
Have them draw a picture of the mnemonic device so they can visualize it to help them remember it.
Closure:
On a piece of paper, have the student write down the mnemonic device to help them remember the correct order of the nine planets. Then the students should write down the correct order of the nine planets below that.
Fun Facts about the Solar System:
1. Sun – The sun is a big star made around 5 billion years ago. There are many other stars as big and even bigger than our sun. Most of them have their own systems of planets, moons, and comets. The sun has sun spots which are areas that are slightly cooler than the rest of the sun. These sun spots usually decrease and change every 11 years.
2. Mercury – Mercury has less gravity than Earth because it is smaller, so you would weigh less on Mercury. This planet is closest to the sun. Because it is so close to Earth, it is called the morning star because it shines so bright in the early morning before the sun rises. It is a very heavy planet because it is made of heavier elements like iron. Mercury is a scarred planet. Because it has such a thick crust, when it was hit with asteroids and comets many, many years ago, it was unable to heal itself like some other planets.
3. Venus – Venus is the second closest planet to the sun. It is often referred to as Earth’s sister planet because of the similar size, gravity and density. BUT Venus is very hot and the atmosphere is made up mainly of carbon dioxide. The temperature can reach almost 900 degrees Fahrenheit. There are many volcanoes, mountains and sand on this planet.
4. Earth – Earth is the biggest of the terrestrial or dense planet. It is covered about 70% with water and 30% with land. The only planet in our solar system to support life. Nearly 7 billion people live on Earth. It has one moon named Luna.
5. Mars – Mars is often referred to as the “Red Planet.” This is because the surface of Mars is red from the dirt and rocks. Mars once had rivers, lakes and oceans, but they have permanently evaporated. The only water left on this planet is either frozen or underground. It is one of the most well explored planets besides Earth.
6. Asteroid Belt – An area between Mars and Jupiter that contains large rocks believed to be the remains of a planet that broke up or a planet that never formed. It is thought to have formed from remnants of the formation of the solar system but the pieces never formed into a planet because of the gravitational pull of Jupiter.
7. Jupiter – The largest planet in the solar system. Earth could fit into Jupiter over 1,000 times. Jupiter is a very colorful planet. This is caused by the clouds and storms that are constantly in the atmosphere. It does not have a solid surface, but it is made up of hydrogen and water. The sky and the ocean blend together. Jupiter has three tings. You can see Jupiter’s four moons with a pair of binoculars at night!
8. Saturn – Saturn is smaller than Jupiter but it is the second largest planet in the solar system. It is made up of hydrogen and helium which makes it the lightest planet. It is the one planet that is not completely round because it spins so fast.. Saturn has 7 rings surrounding it that are held in place by its moons.
9. Uranus – Uranus is the only planet that spins on its side. It is thought that long ago a large object crashed into the planet and caused it to change directions. It has rings that are made up of black dust particles and rocks. Uranus has 27 moons. It is thought that there is a large ocean on the surface of Uranus, but it could be very hot, up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
10. Neptune – Neptune is the smallest gas planet made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. It is a vivid blue color and has a large white cloud that moves through the atmosphere. It is a very windy planet. There are six rings that circle the planet but it is thought that they are fairly new because of their irregularity.
11. Pluto – Pluto is a dwarf planet. It was discovered in 1930 by an 11 year old. It is currently not considered a planet because it is so small. It has 3 moons. Not much is known about Pluto because it is so far away.

Standards:
GLE 0207.6.1 Realize that the sun is our nearest star and that its position in the sky appears to change.
Objectives:
TSWBAT identify where they belong in the activity by what planet they are given.
TSWBAT define “revolution” on an exit slip.
TSWBAT recreate the model from the activity in a drawing.
Materials:
Yellow Ball
Colored Balloons (9 different colors 4 balloons of each color)
Chalk
Info about the revolution paths of the planets around the Sun
Set:
ABK/IAL/RRL: We talked all about the Solar System yesterday. Turn to a partner and tell them 2 things that you learned. You should not have the same two things. (Go around and ask a few pairs to share)
LL: Today we are going to talk more about the Solar System, and more specifically about the way that it rotates.
Instruction:
Today we are going to talk about how the Solar System rotates. We talked about how the Sun is the center of our Solar System yesterday. Now today we are going to talk about how all everything revolves around the Sun. We are going to do a fun activity to model this.
I am going to take the students outside to the playground (weather permitting). On the blacktop, I will have the sun located in the middle and all the orbit pathways of the other planets drawn in chalk around the sun.
I will give each student a balloon. The different colors will represent he different planets. Children will have to listen carefully to hear what planet they are.
They should remember the planet order from yesterday and be able to find their correct orbit pathway without me telling them which planet is which because they should know the order of the planets. There will be multiple people who are going to have to be the same planet.
Once they all find the correct orbit pathway, we will begin. I will be holding the yellow ball in the center and will be the sun. All the other students will be holding their balloon and following their orbital pathway. Explain this as what is called revolution.
Closure:
“Did you guys like the activity that we did day?” Have the students write down a simple definition of the word “revolution” on a piece of paper. Also have them draw the Solar System as we modeled it today in class in the activity.

Wednesday
Standards:
GLE 0207.6.1 Realize that the sun is our nearest star and that its position in the sky appears to change.
0207.6.1 Observe and collect data on the sun’s position at different times of the day.
Objectives:
TSWBAT record observations about the sun’s location at various times throughout the day.
TSWBAT draw a recreation of the sun’s location throughout the day.
TSWBAT explain orally why the sun’s position changes throughout the day.
Materials:
Sun Chart (attached)
Set:
ABK/IAL/RRL: Yesterday we talked about the way the planets rotate around the sun. Does the sun always stay in the same place each day? Talk with a neighbor about the sun. Ask several pairs if they think the Sun always stays in the same place.
LL: Today we are going to talk about why the Sun changes location during the day.
Instruction:
First we will go out and record another observation on our Sun Chart.
-We will start the Sun Chart that morning during our morning work time. We will go outside to the playground. I will have a long line drawn on the playground in chalk that we will use each time we go out to observe. The line will go from East to West. The students will all face the same way on the line. This line is shown on their Sun Chart (attached). The students will draw themselves in the center of this line. Then every time we go
outside to record an observation, they will draw on their picture where the sun is in the sky in relation to their body. Under each observation, they will write the time that we went out at. We will go out to observe five different times (morning work, snack time, lunch, science, and pack up).
We will talk in science about what the students have observed of the sun so far. The students will compare their charts to one another. Then I will explain to the students that the Sun isn’t moving. It is actually us on Earth who are moving. The Sun only looks like it is moving because we are rotating and revolving around it. I will relate it to the rotation activity that we did the previous day.
Closure:
We will finish our Sun Chart after we go out and do our last observation before we pack up for the end of the day. The students will then turn in their charts. I will have them tell me individually about the Sun’s “movement” while they are packing up to go home.

Thursday
Standards:
GLE 0207.6.1 Realize that the sun is our nearest star and that its position in the sky appears to change.
GLE 0207.6.2 Make observations of changes in the moon’s appearance over time.
Objectives:
TSWBAT draw the relationship between the sun, earth, and moon.
TSWBAT follow directions to do the kinesthetic activity successfully.
TSWBAT orally define gravity.
Set:
ABK/RRL: How many of you know the song BINGO? Well I am going to sing about Earth to that same tune, and then you are going to help me by singing along.
We all live on the great big planet and Earth is its name-o
E-A-R-T-H
E-A-R-T-H
E-A-R-T-H
And Earth is its name-o
IAL: Everyone sing along!
LL: Today we are going to talk about the planet that we live on, EARTH!
Instruction:
Teach basic facts about the Earth
-The Earth is the planet we live on.
- It is the third planet from the sun.
-It is the only planet with known life in our Solar System.
-There are seven continents and five oceans.
- Earth has gravity…that is what holds us down so we don’t float away.
Now we are going to go more into gravity. The whole Solar System has gravity and that is what holds it all together and makes it rotate like we already talked about. Gravity is also what keeps the moon revolving around the Earth. Now we are going to do an activity to model the gravity between the sun, the earth, and the moon.
- Students in groups of 3
Tallest will be the sun, shortest will be the moon, middle height will be the earth.
- Have the Earth and the Sun get arms distance in between them. The Moon should get half arms distance from the Earth.
- Start off by just having the Earth walk slowly around the Sun. Explain how the gravity of the Sun pulls the planets towards it and makes them revolve around it.
- Then you very carefully explain that the Moon is now going to revolve around the Earth as it continues to revolve around the Sun. Explain that students should walk slowly. Poor behavior will have consequences.
o Explain how the gravity of the Earth does the same thing to the moon that the gravity of the Sun does to the Earth. It makes it revolve around it.
Closure:
Have students draw a picture and label it that shows the activity that we did today in class. Ask the students what gravity is.
Have the students combine everything that they have learned this week in a drawing. This should include the order of the planets with distances to scale, their revolution paths around the sun, the moons revolution path around the earth, etc.

Friday
Standards:
GLE 0207.6.2: Make observations of changes in the moon’s appearance over time.
0207.6.2 Use science journals to draw and record changes in the moon over a period of time.
Objectives:
TSWBAT recreate the four basic phases of the moon using Oreos.
TSWBAT orally list the four main phases of the moon.
Materials:
Regular Oreos (4 per student)
Paper Towels
Paper plates
Plastic spoons
Cake frosting
Pre-made example for me to show
Moon Chart and Instructions (to take home)
Set:
ABK/IAL/RRL: We talked a little bit about the moon yesterday. Who all remembers what the moon is? Tell a partner what the moon is. Who has ever looked up at night and seen the moon? Does it always look the same?
LL: Today we are going to talk about why the moon doesn’t look the same and discuss the four phases that the moon goes through.
Instruction:
1. “We talked a little bit about the moon yesterday and how it rotates around the Earth. Well this rotation is why the Earth will look different to you at night during different times of the month.”
a. Explain how it is the reflection off of the sun and the rotation of the Earth around the sun affects what the moon looks like. Explain there are different phases that describe what the moon looks like at different times.
b. Tell them about the Moon Chart that is going to be in their folder. They should show it and the letter attached to their parents. In this chart they will record data daily about what the moon looks like that night.
2. “Now we are going to do a little fun craft activity that will help us remember the four main phases of the moon.”
3. Show my own example and explain what they are going to be doing once they get back to their seat.
4. Hand out the paper plates, spoons, and Oreos (No one eat the Oreos!)5. Instruct them to write their name and label their plates where the example is labeled.
(Must do it correctly or you won’t be able to see their labels.6. Have them carefully split their Oreos. Then use their spoon to fix any Oreo stuffing
that is not where it should be. The Oreos should look just like mine on the example.7. Once they are done and have the Oreos sitting on their plate in the correct places, they
may raise their hand, and I will come around and check it.8. If it is correct then I will take the cake frosting and use it like glue to spread on the
back of the Oreo and stick it onto the plate.
Closure:
Once the students have completed the activity and I have stuck down their Oreos, they should draw a picture of the Oreo creation and color it with the appropriate colors. Have the student’s say the four major phases of the moon to me as they walk out the door to go to recess.
Example of the Activity
What’s happening with the Moon??
Date and Time Phase Picture
Moon Chart Instructions:
Dear Parents,
In class right now we are covering the topic of the Universe. This topic includes such things as the moon. We are interested in our class about the phases of the moon and how it looks different at different times of the month. It is always changing. We would like for you to help us look at the moon daily so we can chart the changes in the moon. Ideally, you would help us look at the moon everyday but we understand that there are some circumstances that will make some days hard for us to be able to look at the moon that night. On the attached chart we need to write the date and time in the first column. The second column should come from the knowledge that we have learned in class. We learned the basic four phases of the moon and should be able to tell you which one it is. This phase will be written in the center column. The third column is where we should draw a picture of the moon as we saw it in the night sky on that date. Please help our class out and help us record our data!
Thanks,
Ms. Chase and her space cadets
