The sky at night
Social Science
Map of the sky (DBE, 2011).
-
Inquiry-based Activity: The learners will look at a picture of the night sky. They will identify where the stars are and where the moon is. The learners will also give directions from one star to another. Thereafter, they will give directions from the moon to a star (Bauml, 2023, p.28-32).
Stars (DBE, 2011).
-
Inquiry-based Activity: There will be stars placed on the ceiling of the classrooms. Learners will use the stars to move from one place in the classroom to another. They can move from the teacher's table to the door. It will help them understand how people used stars for direction (Hermans, 23.08.2024).
Technology
Observation tools (DBE, 2011).
-
Learners will create a telescope using recycled materials. The learners will follow the Technological design process. The learners will use the completed telescope to see the night sky more clearly. They will be able to identify the stars in the sky and the shape of the moon (Naudé and Meier, 2025).
The moon (DBE, 2011).
-
The learners will observe the shape of the moon over 2 weeks. They will draw the moon each day. This will help learners identify the different phases of the moon (Naudé and Meier, 2025).
Natural Science
Changing from day to night (DBE, 2011).
-
Inquiry-based Activity: The learners will draw two simple pictures. The first picture will be a drawing of the sky during the day. The second picture will be a drawing of the sky at night. The learners will be able to identify the changes in the sky from day to night (James, 2012, p.63-81).
What the sky looks like (DBE, 2011).
-
Inquiry-based Activity: The learners will look at a picture of the night sky. They will then draw what they see in the picture. This teaches the learners what is in the night sky (James, 2012, p.63-81).
