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.

We aren’t mind readers, but we can still figure out why the author wrote a text and what an author thinks about the topic! This lesson will teach your students the main purposes for writing.

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

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