Una mare m'ha passat això, un model astronòmic per treballar el sistema estel·lar i planetari Sol - Terra - Lluna i ho he trobat senzill, educatiu i entretingut

Earth’s Orbit Misconception
(I will be posting pictures throughout our unit so check in often to see how we’re doing.)
To
begin our unit I decided to tackle one of the biggest MISCONCEPTIONS
that children have…. believing that the Sun travels, or obits, around
the Sun. Can you blame them? I mean I know that every morning on my drive to school I see the Sun rising in the sky. So, I can understand why children believe that. So I decided to tackle this task by creating our very own models which you can download for FREE here. First I introduced my kiddos to some wonders about the Sun, the Earth, and the moon and we discussed how the Earth and the moon really travel. We then began our project.
Then came time to glue our tiny moon down. Many students were shocked at how much smaller the moon was when compared to the Sun! I kept hearing… “It’s so tiny!” :0)
The next step I did, even though you could have your students puncture the paper with their own pencils. Then came time to assemble all of our pieces together.
The last thing we did after having a blast orbiting the Earth and the moon was to explain our learning in writing.
The only recommendation that I would give when completing this activity is that although you can print the pattern on regular paper, cardstock or construction paper works best. Especially if you are going to have a lot of orbiting going on in your classroom!
If you do use this activity with your kiddos, please let me know how it went. I’d love to hear from you!
