Earth’s place in space Flow chart WILF: In teams, create a flow chart on Pic Collage or Explain Everything that shows how the Sun, Moon and stars appear over a period of several hours. WALT: Use research/observations to describe and display how space objects (stars, Moon, Sun etc) move across the sky.

Earth’s place in space Research what time and direction sunrise and sunset and moonrise and moonset occur in Sydney by going to the links on Showbie. Add the information onto your planning sheet. In groups of 2 or 3, use Pic Collage or Explain Everything to create a labelled flow chart with six different stages of the day. Your flow chart must track the Suns movement across the sky over Randwick from sunrise and lead into the evening when you track the Moon until 10pm. Be sure to provide the time of day and a brief description of the space objects positions. http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/australia/sydney

Earth’s place in space Stop-motion WILF: Using the Stop Motion app, collaboratively create a stop-motion animation that shows the relationship between the Earth and the Moon over 28 days. WALT: Use research, observations and discussion to describe and present a model of how space objects move in space.

Earth’s place in space Roles: Photographers/Time keepers: Take the photos of the cycles from the exact same height and angle each shot. HINT: You may not wish to use just one photo per day as the film will go too quickly Artists: Designs and draws the Earth, Sun and Moon and the Milky Way background. Director: Moves the space objects for each shot and numbers them according to days. Researchers: Look online at how the space objects move and how many days it takes them to completes one cycle. http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/australia/sydney

Create scaled models of the Solar System using Explain Everything. Earth’s place in space Scaled Model WALT: Create scaled models of the Solar System using Explain Everything. WILF: Students work in small groups to research information on objects in the Solar System, compare findings and complete Solar System information organiser. https://nrich.maths.org/7753

Earth’s place in space Step 1: In groups, fill out the ‘Solar System Information Organiser’ chart for all the planets in our Solar System: http://theanswermachine.tripod.com/id2.html Step 2: Go to Showbie and follow the link to the website: http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/SS/SolarSystemModel.php?obj=Sun&dia=100cm&table=y&map=n . Step 3: Enter the size (in cm) of the Sun. Be sure to make the Sun quite large so that the other planets are not too small to create. E.g. a 100cm diameter Sun means Mercury is .35 cm in diameter. Step 4: Convert the ‘Orbit Radius’ from metres to centimetres to get the distance each planet is from the Sun. http://theanswermachine.tripod.com/id2.html
