The Changing Sky

Grades: 3–5

Duration: 30–40 minutes

Format: Zoom Webinar (Please note: With the webinar format, students and teachers will be viewers only and will interact with our educators via the private chat feature.)

Standards:

• 5 - ESS1-2 Earth's Place in the Universe: Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.

About this Event:

Ever wonder why the Sun moves across the sky? Or why you can see the constellation Orion in the winter, but not in the summer? Come join a Museum of Science educator as they unfurl Earth’s sky across your computer screen and explore the motions of the Sun and the stars! In this session, students will learn:

• why the Sun and stars seemingly move across the sky.
• why the North Star never changes position.
• how to find various constellations, and why some of them are seasonal.
