• After the students watch the video/PowerPoint, they will then be placed into groups. Each group of
students will be asked to select one item or object from a certain type of sky. The teacher can assign the
topics to the groups, or the students can pull a topic out of a hat from a random draw. The students will
then work together to research online information about their object and topic. For example, if students
are researching the moon, then they can find appropriate images and information about the moon that
will help them to remember that the moon is found in the night sky. The students will then use a
Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and create a digital flyer about their information. The students will then
have an opportunity to share their flyer with the class by presenting it and its information.
• The students will be assessed by their ability to work with their peers, the information they put on their
flyer, their creativity, and completion of the activity. After the students present their flyers, the teacher
will recap the differences of items in the day or night sky and state the I Can Statement to the students to
close the lesson and activity.
