They can also observe at home when it is dark for homework and note differences. (Of course, always making it clear that it is never ok to look at the sun and reviewing safety protocals when observing the sky.) https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129616297 2022-04-04 23:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129616297 To get a stronger undertanding of the sim in Lesson 2:1, students can use their bodies to demonstrate the Earth's revolution vs rotation in order to get a visual of the Earth's movement throughout the day and year. https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129619166 2022-04-04 23:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129619166 To supplement Lesson 3, students can observe and track the night sky for homework perhaps once a week or month, to see for themselves, how the stars appear to move across the sky. https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129621120 2022-04-04 23:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129621120 For lesson 2.6, students can make their own sundials using materials such as paper plates and sundials. They can use them to track the sun throughout one particular day and make observations of how shadows appear to move on campus, such as trees or benches and reiterate why. https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129622471 2022-04-04 23:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129622471 https://griffithobservatory.org/visit/school-programs/ https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129623984 2022-04-04 23:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129623984 JPL Activity https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129626153 2022-04-04 23:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129626153 To bridge between Earth's Systems and Ecosystems, students could use the patterns of the sun observed on campus to decide the best place for a school garden. https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129629931 2022-04-04 23:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2129629931 Ecosystem Restoration https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2144388629 Students can create egg carton planters to start growing bean plants or other cheap and easy plants. Groups can grow 3 types in 3 different soils, potting soil, soil from outside in the school yard, and maybe soil contaminated with vinegar or salt to demonstrate the adverse effects concentrated elements made by man can have on plant life. Vinegar is provided in our amplify science kits as well.]]> 2022-04-14 22:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pdinfo/PLAS_5_EPC/wish/2144388629
