Adult Learner Collection - Earth/Space Science Collection

PUBLIC

20 items

The purpose of putting these resources together is to help come up with better ways to instruct middle school students about the Earth-Moon-Sun relationship and the scale of distances between objects in space. Many students have quite a few misconceptions about these relationships and it is important to identify them and make sure students have a clear understanding of these fundamental concepts. The items selected here provide good instructional materials for teachers as well as offer additional activities to use with students to help with the instruction of the Earth-Sun-Moon relationship curriculum.
