Sun, Moon, and stars
Science · Space Systems & Earth's History · conceptual
Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night
What mastery looks like
- Describe the daily pattern of sunrise and sunset
- Describe the pattern of the moon's shape changing over about a month
- Explain that stars are visible at night and describe any seasonal patterns observed
Check your understanding
Can Sun, Moon, and stars describe patterns they've noticed in the sky — like the sun rising in the east, the moon changing shape over weeks, and stars coming out at night?
