Lesson 1

Teacher’s Guide

– Pupils work in subgroups;
– Divide into groups, in subgroups of 5 students.

Objective of the project

– Be able to build and use a model of the Earth, the sun to describe the change of day and night.

Involvement

– Guys! How is day different from night?
(the sun shines during the day, the birds sing, and at night the moon, stars, nature freezes in the sky)
Why is it bright during the day? (because the sun is in the sky)
Why is it dark at night? (no sun in the sky)

Practical part

Using the available materials, students are invited to build models of the Sun and the Earth. You can watch the video and follow the photo instructions.

Step 1. Cut out corrugated cardboard, approximate dimensions: 1 piece (20x25cm), 2 pieces of cardboard (25×15), 1 piece (15x20cm).

Step 2. Using hot glue, glue two cardboards (20x25cm) onto a cardboard sized (25×15) on the right and left sides, then glue the cardboard (15x20cm) on the reverse side.

Step 3. It should look like in the picture.

Step 4. We cut out A4 size from cardboard or black paper or paper painted with black gouache.

Step 4.1. We make black paper by painting white paper with black gouache.

STEP 5. The blue paper is also cut out from the center.

Step 6. Glue blue cardboard on the right side of the box

Step 7. Blue and black paper should divide the box into two parts.

Step 8. We take yellow and white paper and draw. We draw the Sun and some stars on yellow paper. We draw on a white background the Moon and some stars and clouds.

In this lesson, we made a 3D space of space, next week we will finish the work and we will be able to see on the layout how the change of day and night occurs.
