Animoto-Phases of the Moon
Phases of the Moon
6th Grade Science Standard 1: Students will understand that the appearance of the moon changes is a predictable cycle as it orbits Earth and as Earth rotates on it's axis.
Ed. Tech. Standard 4: Use general purpose productivity tools and peripherals to support personal productivity, to remediate skill deficits, and to facilitate learning through the curriculum.
I created this Animoto to help my students understand the phases of the moon. When I was in elementary school I remember learning this, and I was so amazing that the sliver that was sometimes in the night sky was actually a ball. As I show this video to my class I would also like to include some fun facts about the moon. For example: the moon keeps the same side towards earth; The moon was created by a violent collision into earth; What is a solar eclipse; There is water on the moon; Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, his mission was called Apollo 11, on July 20 1969.
I want my students to not only under the phases of the moons and how they are formed, but also understand how important the people are who gave us this information. Many passionate scientists risked their lives to retrieve information like this. Learning and understanding the information is a way that we can show them appreciation.
