There are 8 science stations in this product.

• CREATE IT is a fantastic way to show the phases of the moon as it rotates around the earth. It features a moon box with a revolving moon where the students can see exactly how the phases of the moon appear. It’s also great for guided discovery. It’s ideal as a homework assignment.

• DRAW IT – this station gets the students to draw the phases of the moon that they see in the moon box. An answer sheet accompanies this.

• READ IT is a comic book style station where the students read a short explanation of the lunar cycle. This is accompanied by a worksheet where the students shade the lunar phases and label them. This builds upon the learning in the previous activities but can easily be used as a stand alone activity.

• SORT IT is a really fun station where students have to sort out the lunar phases cards in the correct order. This is a beat the clock activity.

• RESEARCH IT the students watch a short video on the moon landing and then read the article that accompanies it. Another short text and worksheet accompany this.

• EXPLORE IT is a great activity where the students can see if there is any correlation between meteor size or speed and the impact crater formed.

• TECH IT the students go online to locate meteor impact craters on earth. A worksheet accompanies this.
