Teacher Notes

This clip could be used to develop an awareness of the phases of the Moon, tides, how we look at the Moon and what we can see on the Moon.

Children could make a moving model showing how the Moon seems to change shape and construct a giant telescope from kitchen foil tubes and look through it as it points through the opening of a tent 鈥榦bservatory鈥.

This clip will be relevant for teaching Physics or Science Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 in England and Northern Ireland, Key Stage 2 in Wales and First / Second Level in Scotland.
