Lesson Ideas
In this hands-on activity, students will get to experience and visualize how the phases of the moon are created.
Students will arrange the hexagons in a way that they connect with each other. They will take part in a gallery walk and explain the connections to other groups, along with a written explanation. The goal of the activity is to promote conversation about these key terms and how they connect. This would encourage critical thinking, a deep level of understanding of the terms and how they all connect.
The activities and content will show how Indigenous Knowledge systems can enhance and resonate with a wide range of disciplines that includes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) fields. There a four classroom activities attached with this resource to explore space concepts connected to the Indigenous knowledge systems. We come from the stars, patterns in the night sky, the technology of travel and grandmother moon are the four activities. There are mathematical connections embedded within, however the content directly relates to the space unit. This resources was obtained from https://www.lessonsfromearthandbeyond.ca/
