Description
1st Grade (3 hours in person)
How Can We Predict When the Sky Will Be Dark? is part of Smithsonian Science for the Classroom, a new curriculum series by the Smithsonian Science Education Center. It is aligned to a group of grade 1 standards.In this module, students:
Analyze and interpret observations of the sky to identify when the Sun, Moon, and stars are visible and the Sun and Moon’s daily pattern of motion in the sky.
Use observations to explain that we see objects when light shines on them or if they give off their own light.
Compare two models of the Moon to identify which model better represents the observed patterns of the real Moon.
Plan and carry out an investigation to identify the pattern of daylight throughout the year.
Carry out an investigation to identify the times of the year that it will be dark when kids walk to or from school.
Explain how different light sources will allow objects to be seen when kids walk to school in the dark.
