How Can We Interpret Our Universe?
How do the objects in the night sky change?
Topic C: Sky Science
2. Describe the location and movement of individual stars and groups of stars (constellations) as they move through the night sky.
Topic C: Sky Science
3. Recognize that the apparent movement of objects in the night sky is regular and predictable, and explain how this apparent movement is related to Earth’s rotation.
Moon
Phases
Topic C:Sky Science
7. Recognize that the Moon’s phases are regular and predictable, and describe the cycle of its phases.
Topic: Sky Science
12. Understand that Earth, the Sun and the Moon are part of a solar system that occupies only a tiny part of the known universe.
Topic C: Sky Science
Illustrate the phases of the Moon in drawings and by using improvised models. An improvised model might involve such things as a table lamp and a sponge ball.
How do the stars/constellations change in the sky?
Topic C: Sky Science
Recognize that the Sun and stars emit the light by which they are seen and that most other bodies in space, including Earth’s Moon, planets and their moons, comets, and asteroids, are seen by reflected light.

Transformations
Shape and Space
6.Perform a combination of translations, rotations and/or reflections on a single 2-D shape, with and without technology, and draw and describe the image.
Shape and Space
7.Perform a combination of successive transformations of 2-D shapes to create a design, and identify and describe the transformations.

Moon
Phases
Visual
Drawing
Depiction
C. The metamorphosis and transformation of shapes can be depicted, one shape becomes another; e.g., a cloud becomes an animal; or one shape changes within itself; e.g., pupa to butterfly.
Assessment
A. Shapes evolve and change over time.
Media and Techniques: A. Drawing
