Content: The 3rd grade science core standard states that students will study the movement of the Earth and the moon. They begin to learn of forces that move things; they learn of heat and light. Third graders observe, classify, predict, measure and record. For this lesson students will observe the moon and the Earth and understand how they relate to one another.

Pedagogy: For this lesson I will use some direct instruction when observing different things yet they will make predictions on their own, classify different things, measure and record data, and enjoy the process. I will monitor the students and use guided learning to help them stay on the right track when learning these concepts.

Technology: I will use google earth to enhance this lesson by showing pictures of the earht and moon and allowing the students to see the positioning of these in comparison to the larger pictures. Student will also get to see pictures that I will get from different sources on the internet to aid them in learning this curriculum.
