Moon and stars using observations of shadows and changing patterns in the sky. Students will also explore the planets of our Solar System and begin to consider what might lie beyond.
In the second unit, students will investigate features and processes of the Earth’s surface. Students explore the rapid process of volcanic eruptions! Students also explore the gradual Earth processes of weathering and erosion. They will apply their knowledge and design solutions to mitigate the impacts of these processes on humans.
