At the beginning of our Earth, Sun, and Moon unit, students created a view of the Sun and Earth from the Moon. The group that created the Sun used torn construction paper and glued the pieces together to create the fiery illustration. The Moon group used white poster board, markers, and careful cutting to create the moonscape. The Earth group creatively traced our Noise-O-Meter hemisphere (two times) and added splashes of green land. The background group used white chalk on black paper to illustrate the many other objects in space. Astronauts were drawn and cut out by our final group. This group wanted larger figures placed closer up in order to show depth!
The students (and their teachers) are very proud of the outcome of this cooperative project!

I just love Astronomy in the classroom!
