Comment on this resource
This Classroom Connectors lesson plan explains the Earth's rotation on its axis, that it takes 24 hours for this to happen, and the fact that when one side of the Earth has day the other side experiences night. The site provides goals, objectives, an outline, time needed, materials, activities, and closure ideas for the lesson. The Classroom Connectors address content with an activity approach while incorporating themes necessary to raise the activity to a higher cognition level. The major motivation is to employ instructional strategies that bring the students physically and mentally into touch with the science they are studying.
