See You Around

Learn more about your place in space: model the movements of the Earth and Moon around the Sun that cause day and night, moon phases, seasons, and more. Observe patterns in the sky, model rotation and revolution of Earth, learn what causes moon phases, think about what stars really are, and describe your unique location in space.

This Wonder level kit includes a full-color student workbook and a detailed teacher guide, with step-by-step instructions for both hands-on and reading-based activities designed to engage students in the Earth-Sun-Moon system and their own place in space.

Both teacher and student will be able to open the box and start within minutes, and the kit will provide over 9 hours of engaging learning.

In this kit, the student will engage in these fun activities:

1. Keep a sky journal to think about patterns of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and stars.
2. Model the movement of Earth around the Sun to learn about day and night.
3. Model the Moon going around Earth to find out what causes moon phases.
4. Learn the truth about constellations and make a birthday star chart.
5. Make a flip chart showing their unique place in space.

Use See You Around to answer questions such as:

• What causes day and night?
• Why does Earth have seasons?
• Why does the Moon have phases?
• What are star constellations?
• How can we describe Earth’s location in the universe?

The See You Around earth and space science homeschool curriculum kit is a part of the Science Unlocked Wonder series and is recommended for grades K-2.
