The document outlines a kindergarten lesson plan about observing the moon. Students will go outside and observe the moon, then make predictions about why it can be seen during the day and night. They will then share their predictions with the class before watching a video that explains the moon has no light and its phases are caused by its rotation around Earth.

Students: Kindergarten

Time: 1 Hour
Materials: Paper, pencil and video links
SC.K.E.5.4 Observe that sometimes the Moon can be seen at night and sometimes during the
day.
Standard-Based Objective
With paper and pencil, students will go outside and observe the daytime sky and come up with
two possible predictions as to why the moon is seen during the day and night but not the sun.

3) Open (time: 10-15 minutes) Quietly on a walk outside to where the moon is visible to the
students, have the students take a seat on the ground and tell them to look up at the sky and
ask what they see in the sky at that moment. If the moon isn't visible that day, have a picture of
the moon during the day ready for the students to see.
Body (Time: 10 minutes) When a student says they see the moon (they may need help) tell
them to pair up in groups and pass out a paper and pencil for each group to use for the
upcoming activity. Ask the students why they think the moon is out right now with the sun but
at night, the moon is out by itself and not the sun. Have the students come up with two
predictions as to why they think the moon is visible in the daytime and nighttime.

Closing:(Time:20-25 minutes) After every group has come up with two predictions, have each
group share their answer to the class. After they share, explain to the students that the moon
has no light and because of its rotation around the earth the sun shines its light on the moon
which cause it to have phases which make it visible throughout the night. Lastly students will
watch a fun video of what they just learned. https://youtu.be/-Oyv3Qg4a8k
