Roughly 4.5 billion years ago, Earth began to form as a result of matter clumping together due to gravitational attraction. Over time, these clumps of matter started crashing into each other, forming larger bodies that eventually would lead to planets and moons. The following activities will introduce students to the phases of the moon and how the orbit of the Moon affects life on Earth!
Modeling allows us to make our own sense of what and why something is happening. Conceptual models are shared and explicit representations or analogies of phenomena and are used by scientists to help them understand the world around us. Engage students with premade activities at Storyboard That.
