This lesson engages students in activity to help them understand the phases of the Moon, and why they occur. Students read literature, analyze it, and then apply it to the small group performance of one cycle of the Moon’s phases.

Students connect dots to find stars used to navigate north and create a constellation of their own in this creative game format.

Leap into a spring lesson plan about the water cycle, with the help of a friend in the book The Little Raindrop. Students will learn features of the water cycle and retell the journey of the raindrop verbally and in writing.

Heads up! Students become cloud experts before making custom clouds, complete with weather predictions!
