Gave time to review eclipse info and vocab on circles. Quiz on vocab.
Went over phases of moon showing pictures and describing the various phases.
It takes about 3.5 days to go from one phase to the next so you can only see one phase of the moon in one night.
Went out into the courtyard to to phases of the moon lab.
Extra info: Horns of crescent moon always point away from the Sun.
A line joining the horns of a crescent moon points south.
Moon poem: If right is bright, then wax to max.

Let students choose their own seats. Didn't work out well.
Collected Sun Labs (not many people handed it in)
Went over method of similar triangles. Showed how you could use it to find the height of a tree from the length of its shadow.
Students divided themselves into groups of 3 and made pictures of Sun, Moon, Earth.
One group demonstrated positions of Sun, Moon, and Earth for solar and lunar eclipses.
Went outside and students demonstrated solar and lunar eclipses as well as reviewing right hand rule for Earth going around the Sun, Moon going around the Earth, and Earth rotating about its axis.
Showed short video on lunar and solar eclipses.
Demonstrated with hula hoop showing inclination of Moon's orbit why you get two eclipse seasons each year.
Reviewed vocabulary. Next time quiz on diameter, radius, circumference, solar and lunar eclipses.

n groups of 4, introduce and say something nice to each other
Give students 5 minutes to discuss planets
Quiz on planets.
Hand out popsicle sticks. Students measure length and width of table top in number of popsicle sticks. You make measurements in units, not always inches or feet. To make the measurement meaningful, you need to clearly state the units.
Hand out graph paper. Students draw similar triangles and make measurements.
Big height/Big base = Little height/Little base
Cut out little triangle and fold it over to big triangle. Note the two triangles have the same shape.
Vocabulary: triangle - 3-sided closed shape
Similar triangles - two triangles that have the same shape, same angles
Circle - round closed shape in which all the points are the same distance from a central point.
Radius - distance from center of circle to circle
Diameter - distance across the circle through the middle
Show diagram of set-up for lab
Just as we measured the length of the table in number of popsicle sticks, we are measuring the distance from the Earth to the Sun in number of Sun diameters.

Asked what they told their parents about the last class since that was a language objective. Those that said nothing acted out the "Thumbs Up for Santa" poem.
Discussed right hand rule examples:
Need right hand rule because clockwise and counterclockwise are confusing - people sitting on stool rotating right foot clockwise while drawing figure 6's with right index finger.
When to look for shooting stars (better in early morning before the Sun rises)
We move faster at night (used example of escalator going up and walking either up or down)
Used escalator example to explain why a boomerang returns.

Asked students what their parents thought about the "What do you think?" worksheet.
Introduce Astrogeniosity Unit
Students did Astrogeniosity pretest. Handed them in.
Went over Content Objectives
Students will be able to:
Describe by acting out, the motions of the Moon and Earth
Demonstrate the Right Hand Rule
Went over Language Objectives
Language Objectives are important because the more you talk about the subject, the better you understand it. The jokes you remember are not the jokes you hear but the jokes you tell. Moon joke.
Language Objectives:
Draw Pictures Showing Key Vocabulary Words
Tell family and friends the ideas learned in class using correct vocabulary.
Went over vocabulary: year, month, day, orbit, rotate
Introduced clockwise and counterclockwise. Did demo of drawing 6's while rotating foot.
Described how Earth rotates and how Earth goes around Sun.
Went over right hand rule and gave poem.
Students paired up and acted out poem.
Used the right hand rule to explain that you are more likely to see shooting stars in early morning before sunrise than in evening after sunset.
Used the ideas to show that you move faster in night than in day and how this same principle can be used to explain why a boomerang turns and comes back.

Collected Parent Notice form and Course Expectation Form.
Quiz on Course Expectations.
Brainstorm - Why are listening skills important?
Handed out paper. Students folded it into thirds (hopefully widthwise), wrote name at top left, titled paper "Listening", labeled columns "Looks", "Sounds", "Feels"
Students worked by themselves in writing in columns what good listening looks like to outside observer, what good listening sounds like, and how it makes you feel when you are talking and someone is being a good listener.
Students followed class EBS, introduced themselves to partner, and said something nice.
Students then compared papers.
Went around room and filled in observations.
Put up overhead with listening slogans - students wrote slogans in their books.
Students did "What Do You Think?" exercise in pairs with partner.
Went over paper.
For homework, students are to quiz parents on these questions.
Demonstrated magnets - steel is attracted to both ends of the magnet.
Held magnet next to person and asked if person was attracted to magnet.
Demo with grapes, mostly water, are repelled by strong magnet.
People are mostly water, they could be repelled by very strong magnet - levitating frog.
Demonstrated penny in balloon. Show idea of inertia.
Demonstrated hex nut in balloon. Annoying. Shows ideas of frequency and pitch.
Allowed students to play with balloons until they popped.
