Revising our thinking about the Earth, Sun and Moon

After our unit in CKLA on Astronomy, we explored with Science to help us better make sense of this new learning.  Students used the same materials as they did earlier in the unit and they were asked to use the models to demonstrate their understanding, revise their initial thinking of the relationship of the Earth, Sun, Moon, or form questions about their thinking.  They were shocked at how much knowledge they gained and how using actual models helped them see exactly what is happening when our naked eye cannot.
