I've been reading the new BC curriculum and basing some of my holiday daily blog posts on those readings. For example, the Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick post and the explanation of the tide cycles in relation to the earth and moon's movement and rotations is part of the grade 5 science curriculum. Today let's explore the moon a little more - our earth is so interesting, n'est pas?!
Here are some more web sites to check out:
- National Geographic Moon Quiz
- Earth Sun & Moon (United Kingdom Resource). This site is interactive, but you must be able to read to do the activities.
- Phases of the moon
- Phases de la lune
- Video - Phases of the Moon, using Virtual Moon Atlas and accompanied by Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14, (Opus 27, No. 2)
- Video - Phases of the Moon (3:15) from NeoK12
A Deep Thinking Invitation:
Let's learn for the sake of taking interest in the mystical, magical world around us - rather than for learning outcomes, grades, or because of what we're "supposed to learn."
Our Canadian curriculum is simply, in my mind, a spring board for exploration, but a great starting point for ideas.
Deep thoughts by your Ardent Librarian, AKA Mz. Frizzle, I mean Ms. Murrells-Allaway. À bientôt.
