 * **Enduring Understanding/Goal**

Students will understand that: › This is a goal, not an objective. List the big ideas or concepts that you want them to come away with, __not facts that they must know.__

1. There is a relationship between the way the sun, earth and moon interact. 2. The sun is the center of our universe. 3. The earth has one moon. ||
 * **Essential Question(s)**

//(What is the overall purpose for the learning and teaching that will happen in this unit? What are the overarching questions that you want learners to be able to answer? Essential questions should be big, global in scope, and possibly unanswerable. They should be important, challenging, interesting and intriguing to the learner.)// › What leading questions can you ask of students to get them to understand the Big Ideas? › Address the heart of the discipline, are framed to provoke and sustain students interest; unit questions usually have no one obvious right answer 1. How do the sun, moon and earth affect each other and me? 2. Why are the sun and moon not always visible? 3. Can you name the objects in the daytime sky? 4. Can you name the objects in the nighttime sky? 5. Can you point to the earth in the picture?  6. Can you point to the sun in the picture?  7. Can you point to the moon in the picture?  9. What gives the earth daylight and night?  9. What happens to our shadows during the day? ||
 * **Student objectives (outcomes)**

Students will be able to: › These are observable, measurable outcomes that students should be able to demonstrate and that you can assess. Your assessment evidence in Stage 2 must show how you will assess these. › Your learning activities in Stage 3 must be designed and directly linked to having students be able to achieve the understandings, answer the essential questions, and demonstrate the desired outcomes . . · Student will be able to describe the relationship of the sun to the earth as the sun rises and sets on the horizon. · Student will be able to predict the position of the sun according to the time of day. · Students will be able to describe the physical characteristics of the sun, earth, and moon. · Students will be able to compare and contrast the characteristics of the sun and moon.
