Title: Phases of the Moon
Description: This student activity helps them learn the phases of the moon. They will also learn how they can use the moon’s position relative to the horizon and to the sun to determine the approximate hour of the night.
Standard(s):
[S1] (6) 9: Identify the moon’s phases.

Title: Water on the Move Current Events
Description: This site contains great information and experiments. Learn what makes ocean currents flow on this page from the Museum of Science's "Oceans Alive!" Read about some major ocean currents and discover the effects of wind, sun, continents, density, salinity, El Nino, and the Coriolis Effect on currents.
Standard(s):
[S1] (6) 1: Identify global patterns of atmospheric movement, including El Niño, the Gulf Stream, the jet stream, the Coriolis effect, and global winds that influence local weather.
[S1] (6) 3: Describe water and carbon biogeochemical cycles and their effects on Earth.
[S1] (6) 7: Describe Earth’s biomes.
[S1] (6) 9: Identify the moon’s phases.
[S1] (6) 10: Describe components of the universe and their relationships to each other, including stars, planets and their moons, solar systems, and galaxies.
[S1] (7) 4: Describe organisms in the six-kingdom classification system by their characteristics.
[S1] (7) 7: Describe biotic and abiotic factors in the environment.
