Why Choose This Course?
This week, students will learn about the moon and its role in the universe. We explore the various ways the moon affects the Earth, including its impact on the tides, and the fascinating phenomenon of lunar eclipses.
As a follow-up activity, each student will choose a moon from our solar system to research and create a slideshow about. Their slide show will include information about the moon’s size, distance from its planet, composition, and any unique features or phenomena associated with it.
After completing it, students will present it to the rest of the class, sharing what they have learned about their chosen moon and its significance in our solar system.
