For this lesson, I would focus on the Moon. I would begin by using KWL to find out what the students know about the moon already. Working with older students I would try to capture their interest by showing a video about Neil Armstrong and the First Moon Landing with discussion questions before and after the video and linking it to our history lesson. The students will be encouraged to supply the new vocabulary to make a mind map. For independent pair/group work the students could research the phases of the moon. For drama/music the students could perform a phases of the moon song or rap and explain it. Finally, the students could make a 3-D moon shape from paper mache. In a follow up lessons, I would use the many resources and links provided in the course to further explore the properties of the moon.
