Tuesday April 14, 2020 Performance MS-ESS1-1 Standard Topic Unit 9: Patterns in the Solar System Lesson 1: The Earth-Sun-Moon System Lesson engage Specific Model the Earth-sun-moon system and use their models to explain patterns and phenomena that can Objectives be observed from Earth
Bell ringer:
What are the different phases of the moon?
Procedure: o Lesson engage: the phases of the moon simulation at https://sepuplhs.org/middle/third- edition/simulations/moon_phase_simulation.html o Complete the heading, question and claims of the CER form for Unit 9, Lesson 1 o Describe how the moon might appear differently if viewed from another planet. Assessment: Lesson self-check
