The Moon
I would teach my class about the moon using the excellent resources provided.
We would watch a video of the moon landing, discuss what we know about the moon. Discuss the spherical shape of the moon and it’s craters.
I would the pictures of the moon and discuss cultural differences in observations of the moon.
We would use the flour and dropping balls to recreate the craters and discuss how they are formed.
We used the fabric activity to recreate the moon, and using layering of fabric to create the surface.
I would use clay to mold the shape of the moon and a upside paint brush to create craters in the moon.
