The moon incites children's curiosity from a very young age. Although it's a space object, it's more accessible to children because of its dependability and proximity. Through this two week unit, children will develop a deeper understanding of the moon. There are over 60 activities so this unit can easily be stretched over a month long investigation.
 
It includes over 60 activities! 
 
That is 60 ways to teach your children about the moon and space in an engaging, hands on way that will have them exploring and developing understanding of complex topics.
