Tool #7

Objective: Study the relationship between the Earth, Sun, and Moon and how they affect each other.

Write a report of the relationship the Earth, Sun, and the Moon including the moon phases, the earth movement, tides, landforms, and all characteristics, etc. The students would research and share ideas with other classrooms to complete a report. This report can include videos, flipcharts, vocabulary, and a summary.

This report can be considered as a major project, which can take a long time throughout the school year.

There are a lot of tools for the students to use to accomplish their goal. The following websites and tools can be use for the report: Google doc, School Tube, You Tube, Twitter or Skype, Google reader, Blogger, etc.

After the students become aware of how to communicate to each other to share ideas, find information, and write the report, the interest of learning from other sources and collaborate with others will increase, and will make the students more eager to learn.
