Earth, Sun and Moon: Rotation and Revolution

They say what goes around comes around, as your students will quickly learn with this set of activities about how the earth, sun & moon affect one another. This award-winning volume gets students involved hands-on with activities that explore these concepts: rotation, revolution, seasons, eclipses, and tides.

Other activities: day and night, years and seasons, moon phases, How big are the earth, sun and moon?, and more. Skills challenged include: predicting, observing, recording, following directions, cooperating, and critical thinking.

Everything's here to help you make each project a success -- organizational procedures, required and optional materials lists (readily available), teaching suggestions, and complete, step-by-step directions for all projects.

Also features a two-sided, full-color (one side) pull-out poster with a Memory Matches (moon phase) card game on one side (includes template for reproducible game cards) and Earth, Sun, and Moon (relative positions) on the other side. Illustrated throughout with helpful line art as well as fun recurring "mouse" characters. All 16 pages perforated for easy removal.
