The Moon
We see the moon at night and sometimes in the day, and its shape looks different on different nights.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- The moon is a big ball of rock. We see it at night, and sometimes in the day, too!
- Here is the moon in the day sky. It looks pale.
- The moon doesn't make its own light. It shines because sunlight lands on it.
- The moon looks like a different shape on different nights: round, half, or a thin slice.
- Try it with a grown-up! Look for the moon tonight. What shape is it? Look again next week!
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKE1.a — Ask questions to classify objects according to those seen in the day sky, the night sky, and both.
