To Infinity and Beyond

by: Milton Huling and Jackie Speake Dwyer

This chapter features Earth and Space science StEMT lessons. Few topics are as difficult for students to understand as the relationships among the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. Add the changing of constellations throughout the year and you have your hands full as a teacher. It is for this reason that we chose to include the engineering design challenge with a lesson involving Moon phases and the seasonal differences in how we observe constellations. This concept is not easy and for the learner, it requires something that few other concepts require—multiple perspectives. A list of materials, teacher background information, standards, safety notes, assessment, and references are included. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Foreword, Preface, Acknowledgments, About The Authors, About Our Approach, Connection to Standards, Conclusion, Appendix A, B, and C, and Index.
