1 4-4 Space -Earth is part of the solar system, which includes the Sun, Moon, and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable patterns that lead to observable paths of objects in the sky as seen from Earth -Visual Art: Compares and contrast visual information to interpret art 1.1.a-c. Critiques art in a respectful manner 2.1.a-d and 2.2.d. Creates art using a variety of media to convey meaning 3.1.a-d and 3.2 a-c. Identifies historical and cultural ideas in art 4.2.a-c 1.What are the patterns of movement for the Sun and Moon across the sky? 2.How does Earth compare too other objects orbiting the Sun? 3. How do we study the solar system? -Space written test given by Science teacher -written essay that answers a essential question -group project to be graded by space experts (see below)

2 4 Students will focus on respect in relation to respecting personal space during collaboration Space -Astronaut thing- students go through process to become an astronaut -Planet Perspectives/ personification- people act and talk Follow Science Kit Lessons 1. What are components of Solar System? 2. What are the similarities of rotations and revolutions? 3. What are phases of moon and how does that happen? Constellation art with glow paint -realism- spherical shading linked to planet perspectives -fall back into space to teach perspective Use the internet tools to research (watch videos) to answer questions about space (see below) Teach Spanish verbs that show rotation- take off- etc. -Planets by Gustav Holst (tie to Greek Myth) SPACE MUSIC -Use music to learn order of planets (you tube?) Show the movements of rotations and revolutions of planets(orbit) in the solar system using bodies and motion and projectors, pole, showing shadows Calculate distance between planets, teach scale, walk out distance for planets, make art planet drawings to scale Place major space events on timeline to compare with Colorado History and local connections NORAD, Lockheed martin Read a variety of nonfiction texts that that inform about Space -write a story/legend to accompany art constellation project -Greek Mythology for planets

3 Nessesary Vocabulary to Know Revolution Rotation Moon phases Tides Shadows Sun Earth Planet Star Galaxy Orbit Evidence Outcomes 1. Gather, analyze, and interpret data about components of the solar system (DOK 1-2) 2. Utilize direct and indirect evidence to investigate the components of the solar system (DOK 1-2) 3. Gather, analyze, and interpret data about the Sunrise and Sunset, and Moon movements and phases (DOK 1-2) 4. Develop a scientific explanation regarding relationships of the components of the solar system (DOK 1-3) Nature of Science Understand that models are developed to explain and predict natural phenomena that cannot be directly observed because they happen over long periods of time. (DOK 1) Critically evaluate models of the solar system, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the model in representing what happens in the real solar system. (DOK 2-3)

4 Resources Bryan DeBates for space foundation to get people to grade project Music (let students create own space music) junior.kent.sch.uk/time/moon/facts.htm nelhybel/outer- space- music/contemporary- electronic/album/smithsonian Revolution & Rotation M8o0c for- kids/0018- the- rotation- of- the- earth.php Day & Night Shadows The Moon junior.kent.sch.uk/time/moon/phases.html

5 Space Concept E M P B 1. I can demonstrate and describe how shadows are created. 2. I can define and demonstrate revolution and rotation. 3. I can demonstrate and describe how day and night occur on Earth. 4. I can describe the cause of seasons on Earth. 5. I can identify all 5 moon phases in the correct order and explain what causes the moon to change its phase. 6. I can describe the cause of tides on Earth and demonstrate the pattern of tides. 7. Can you show me with (your body, a ball) what revolution and rotation look like? 8. How long does it take the Earth to rotate around one time? Can you show me how day and night happens? 9. How long does it take the Earth to revolve around the Sun? 10. How long does it take the Moon to revolve around the Earth? 11. Can you show me how shadows are created? What causes a shadow? 12. (Looking outside at the moon) What moon phase is this? What phase will come next? What makes it change? 13. What causes tides? 14. Why do we have seasons on Earth? What season is it in the Southern Hemisphere right now? 15. Why is the sun important to us? Final Grade
