I'm teaching 7 year olds about the moon. Two 30 minute lessons.
This learning resource is designed for students to explore the Moon, emphasizing its basic features and relationship with Earth. The objectives include identifying key characteristics of the Moon, such as its craters, lack of atmosphere, and smaller size compared to Earth. Students will engage in drawing activities to express their prior knowledge and learn how the Moon reflects sunlight and orbits Earth in a predictable cycle. The resource also features sections on the lunar phases, where students participate in matching activities and predictions about the moon's appearance. Overall, the lesson fosters an understanding of the Moon as Earth's natural satellite and encourages reflection on newfound knowledge.
