❤️“My kiddos LOVED this resource! Thank you!” Danielle Neufeld
The phases of the moon is covered in full and in a very elegant way in this packet. I have made a unique moon box complete with a revolving moon which will allow your students to easily visualize the phases of the moon.
Solar System
- The Starry Messenger – a 2 page science literacy newspaper with accompanying worksheet
- Planet Size – in this activity the students cut out the planets which are in proportion to each other. This is a great visual activity and perfect for an interactive notebook
- Planet Distance – this is a classic activity where the students place the planets in proportion to their distance from the sun. It gives them a terrific insight into the vast distance of the universe.
- Make a Solar System Comic – blank template with accompanying planet cut-outs where the students can make their own comic. Notes in the powerpoint presentation will help them fill in the facts.
- Make a Sundial Activity
This is a lovely introduction to sundials. Simply print the sundial and let your students make and keep a fully functional equatorial sundial that will work at your latitude. - Over the Moon Activity
This is by far my favourite activity. This is a unique way where the students will see why the moon waxes and wanes. They will make a moon box with a revolving moon and understand how it is lit by the sun. A very simple and effective way of teaching the lunar phases. It’s perfect for guided discovery. This is easily made from common household items. - Lunar phases comic printable
- Lunar phases worksheet
