Big Ideas
- Patterns in the sky, like the movement of the sun, moon, and stars, can be observed and predicted.
- Observations help us understand the regular changes we see in the sun, moon, and stars.
Essential Questions
- What patterns can we see when we observe the sun, moon, and stars?
- How do our observations help us make predictions about the sky?
- Why do the sun, moon, and stars seem to move in the sky?
- How can we describe what we notice happens with the sun, moon, and stars each day?
- In what ways do sky patterns help us in our daily lives?
