Understanding Earth's Relationships: The Sun, Moon, and Natural Phenomena

In this engaging lesson, students will explore the relative motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun, using models to explain their interactions over time. They'll investigate how these celestial bodies affect natural phenomena on Earth through diverse activities, including pretests, group readings, and moon observation sheets. Students will gain insights into concepts such as time zones and the impact of Earth’s rotation. The lesson aims to deepen understanding of these astronomical relationships and enhance observational skills, culminating in a review of key concepts at home.

  1. Date: 4/7 (B) and 4/8 (A) Outcome: Students will use models to explain the relative motions of Earth, Moon and Sun over time. Question: How do the relative positions of Earth, Moon and Sun affect natural phenomenon on Earth? Activities: Do Now! Complete the Space Pretest with pictures projected. Collect Moon Observation Sheets. Make SJ entry F74 Pass out and complete Before Column of Anticipation Guide 74.1 “As Earth Rotates” Read intro to F73 A Day on Earth (page F-14) Group Read pages F-17 to F-21 and take notes Video “Sun, Earth, Moon” Grade Moon Observations. Exit Ticket How long is one day on Earth? Homework: Review today’s reading for 15 minutes BEFORE the next class. Continue Moon Observations.

  2. Anticipation Guide for F74 • Ancient people used the shadows cast by sticks to indicate the passage of time during the day. • When the sun rises in the western United States, it is still dark in the eastern United States. • Benjamin Franklin divided the world into time zones in the late 1700s. • The world is divided into twelve times zones. • When it is nighttime in the United States, it is daytime in Asia.

  3. NOTES for F74* • Sketch Figure 2: The Sun’s Position in the Sky in SJ • Sundials • Name the 6 times zones for the 50 states in the U.S. Analysis Questions: 1, 3, 4 and 5 as a class * Mrs. Jakobsen will complete the notes and AQs when she returns with all classes.
