Students learn a great deal about the Earth, gravity, and astronomy. Sections of this kit focus on the shape of the Earth and gravity; moon phases and eclipses; and the stars. In activities that involve real-world sky gazing, students observe and record changes in the sky and create models to explain their observations. Students clear up their misconceptions about the Earth’s shape, gravity, orbit, and relationship to the rest of the universe, and create a more accurate model of the world. This kit provides an environment that fosters positive attitudes and motivates students and teachers in the area of Science.
