Skills
- describe (predictable patterns of sun, moon, and stars) #dok2
- use observations (of sun, moon, and stars) #dok1
- make observations (at different times of year) #dok2
- relate (amount of daylight to time of year) #dok2
- predict (patterns based on observations) #dok3
Learning Targets
- I can use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns. #dok2
- I can describe how the sun, moon, and stars appear to move in the sky over time. #dok2
- I can record and organize observations about the sky. #dok1
- I can make observations at different times of year. #dok2
- I can relate the amount of daylight to the time of year. #dok2
- I can predict how the amount of daylight will change during the year based on patterns. #dok3
Big Ideas
- The sun, moon, and stars appear in the sky in patterns that repeat and can be predicted.
- The amount of daylight changes throughout the year and is related to the time of year.
Essential Questions
- What patterns can we observe in the way the sun, moon, and stars appear in the sky?
- How do our observations help us predict what will happen in the sky?
- How does the amount of daylight change during the year?
- Why does the amount of daylight relate to the time of year?
- What evidence can we collect to show these patterns?
