For Example: If I were in group 5, I would look at the table with the group number on the table and sit down just to make sure there is less likelihood of getting lost. Then the parents and the students look at their sheet with the group number and look at the schedule, once released they are in order of activities.

• 1 x white A4 card thick enough to hold its shape, but not too thick (we used 240gsm card)

• Pair of compasses for drawing 2.5cm, 10cm, and 15cm circles. If you don’t have compasses, just draw around circular household objects of a similar size

• Colored pencils or felt-tip pens, and HB pencils for drawing and coloring the features on the Sun, Earth, and Moon

• Paper fasteners. We used small, coloured ones but any will do

• (Optional) 1 x A4 laminating sheet and a laminating machine

  Notes: the students will also

Procedure: 

• Have the student draw two rectangles at a length of 1.5cm by 11cm and another by a length of 24cm by 2cm.

• Once they are done they will put a dot 1cm away from the end.

• Then use a compass to draw circles at the diameters of 2.5cm, 10cm, and 15cm.

• Using a full Moon photo for reference, sketch and blend the lunar surface features.

• Then find a photo of Earth from space and colour in the world’s features.

• Finally, add the solar features using photos from the Solar Dynamics Observatory as a guide.

• Carefully cut out all of the shapes, making sure to cut around any prominences that protrude from the limb of the Sun

• Using the compass point, pierce a hole through the center of each circle and through the dots you marked on the straight pieces.

• (optional)Lay the pieces out on the laminating sheet, making sure each piece has plenty of space around it (we secured them in place with a tiny piece of double-sided tape).

  Carefully guide the sheet through the laminator.

  Let it cool before picking it up.

• Cut the pieces out again, leaving a sealed-border around each piece.

• If you cut too close to the edges, the sheet will delaminate.

• The thicker your card, the wider the border will need to be.

• Once your pieces have cooled, pierce the holes again.

• With paper fasteners, attach the short and the long arms to the back of the Earth piece.

• Attach the Moon to the end of the short arm and the Sun to the end of the long arm.

• All the pieces should freely rotate.

• Your model is now ready to use.

• Spoons

• Cotton Balls

• Print out-Laminated planet cutouts

• Velcro

• Paper

• white crayon

• small name plates

Name: race to the planets

Procedure: 

• The students will get in groups of 5-6 children in which they will compete in a relay race to get all the planets in order from the sun in the way that they choose as long it is correct.

• The teacher will set up the classroom with sticky velcros, and they use the other half of the laminated planet cutouts which will be stuck in the soft part.

• The students will then use the spoons to stick the flat end into the mouth and use the dome part to hold the cotton ball.

• They run or walk along the tape with the spoon in their mouth with the cotton ball that sits on top of the spoon basin.

• They will then choose a planet to put in the velcro available to them with not correcting the students as they will have to be able to put them in order in order to win

• If they disagree they will also have to wait till get back to their team in order to communicate it and go again with a spoon to fix it

• The only manner they have to restart it is if the cotton balls are falling in which they have to restart the relay

Picture of Activity: 

• Paints

• sharpie pens

• cardstock paper

• q-tips

Name: Imagine seasons

Procedure: 

• The teachers will have stations where the children and parents are given paints, q-tips, sharpie pens, and cardstock paper.

• The students will first draw a tree with the four papers put together in order to prepare for the next activity

• The students would wait for the instructors to describe some of the conditions that happen in a season and the students will have to guess what the season is.

• They will be described and have to mirror the effects of the seasons in the picture.

• The students will end up with four seasons and showcase the different conditions they have in the viewpoint of the students

• 8 Oreo Cookies

• A popsicle stick or other tool for scraping the frosting

• Printable sheet for phases of the moon

Name: Oreo's Moons

Procedure:

• Slowly twist an Oreo open to leave as much frosting on one side of the cookie as possible. If it doesn’t work, eat the cookie and try again!

• Use the popsicle stick or scraper to create the phases of the moon out of the frosting.

• Arrange the phases of the moon in order.

  
  

• Fun rewards

• Plastic Globes:

  • earth

  • moon

  • sun

Name: Become the moon, the sun, and the earth

Procedure: 

1. Rotate:

   • both students should spin slowly in a counterclockwise motion

2. Revolve:

   • the student who is the Sun stays in place as the student who is Earth slowly walks counterclockwise around them

3. Rotate and revolve:

   • the students combine the two movements so that the Sun is rotating and Earth is revolving around the Sun while rotating.

• 6 sided dice

• game board

• score sheet printables

• game piece for moving around the board

Name: Weather the cycle

Procedure: 

RULES OBJECT OF THE GAME Score the most points in 10 turns by moving through Earth’s water cycle. Players gain points by landing on spaces representing Earth’s water cycle. Each space is marked with the number of points it is worth.

PLAYER ORDER & STARTING POSITIONS Players roll a 6-sided die to determine Player Order for each turn. The Player with the highest number chooses their starting position first and the Player with the lowest number chooses last. If more than 1 player roll the same number, each of those players roll again. The starting positions are the Clouds, Mountains, Glacier, Lake, River and Ocean (marked in rectangular spaces). Players cannot choose the same starting position and don’t gather points when rolling for starting position. Hint: Choose a starting position that puts you close to a space with a lot of points!

MOVING YOUR PIECE Players take turns rolling a 6-sided die based on player order. Players can choose any path in order to win. However, players must follow the natural flow of Earth’s water cycle (follow the arrows). Example: If you are in the Ocean, you cannot travel upstream into a River. Players must move the same amount of spaces as their dice roll and collect the number of points of the space they land on. Example: If your turn ends on Clouds, you collect 1 point for that turn.

The STORM ZONE consists of the Rain Cloud, Thunderstorm, Tropical Disturbance, Tropical Depression, Tropical Storm, and Hurricane spaces.

Hint: Lower dice rolls in the STORM ZONE will get you more points! Careful: If you land on the Rain Cloud space, you must follow the rain path back to the Ocean and work your way back to the STORM ZONE.

• 1 paper plate

• 4 marshmallows

• 4 toothpicks

• Markers

• Yellow markers/ colored pencil

• Frosting

Name: Mellow Tilt on Earth

Procedure: 

Put your groups names on the back of the paper plate

2. Draw an oval around the inside of the plate following the shape of the plate. This is going to represent the Earth’s orbit.

3. Color a yellow circle in the center of the oval you drew. This is going to represent the Sun.

4. Label the four seasons (summer, fall, winter, spring) on each side of your plate

a. spring (top) fall (bottom)

b. summer (left) winter (right)

5. Have each person grab a marshmallow and put a toothpick through the middle of the marshmallow (from top to bottom)

a. the toothpick should be coming out of both ends of the marshmallow

b. these marshmallows represent Earth

6. Using a marker draw a dotted line around the center of the marshmallow. This line represents the equator

7. Label the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH) on your marshmallow.

8. As the Earth revolves around the sun we experience summer and winter depending on the tilt of the Earth’s axis

9. According to the tilt of the Earth’s axis place one marshmallow next to each season in the correct position so it is representing each season

a. to make sure the marshmallows stay in place use the frosting in the plastic cup. Do not over use the frosting!

10. Once you are done placing your marshmallows in the correct positions answer the questions on the back of this worksheet

• 150 – 200 watt light bulb (not frosted) or a flashlight

• lamp or socket for the bulb

• extension cord

• the room that can be made dark

• Styrofoam balls

• large straws or funnel

• rubber bands

• 5.5 oz flexible plastic cups

• scissors

• rolls of tape

• thumbtacks or sticky dots

• protractors

• rulers with centimeters

Name: Spin the Earth

Procedure: 

Making a Model of the Earth Push the straw through the center of the Styrofoam ball. This represents the axis about which the earth rotates. One end is north and the other end is south. Place a rubber band around the center of the ball (the earth’s equator). Looking at a globe or a map, find your approximate latitude, and place the tack or dot there. (For example, San Francisco is at 37.75˚ north, so placing the tack not quite halfway between the equator and the North Pole is an acceptable approximation.) Use the scissors to make a hole in the bottom of the plastic cup, near the side, as shown above. It should be just large enough to accommodate the diameter of the straw. Take an 8-cm piece of tape and stick a 2-cm piece to the center of the 8-cm piece (sticky sides together). Place the straw into the hole in the cup, and use the modified tape to hold the straw against the side of the cup, yet still allowing the straw to rotate in the hole. Your model should look something like the picture on the left. Use a protractor to check the angle of the earth’s tilt. It should be 23.5 degrees.
