What pattern can be seen when observing the Sun?
What pattern can be seen when observing the Sun?
When observing the Sun, patterns can be noticed. The Sun appears to move through the sky during the day, but it is the Earth moving that makes it seem this way. The Sun always rises in the East and sets in the West. This is a pattern we can observe every day.

What pattern can be seen when observing the Moon?
What pattern can be seen when observing the Moon?
When observing the Moon, patterns can be noticed. The Moon appears to move through the sky during the night, but it is the Earth moving that makes it seem this way. The Moon always rises in the East and sets in the West. We can also see the Moon appears to change shapes as it goes through its phases every month.

Stars can only be seen during the nighttime. This is a pattern that can be observed each night. During the days the stars are not visible but when the Sun sets we can see the stars shining.

What are the patterns of the motion of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky that we observe?
What are the patterns of the motion of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky that we observe?
The patterns of motion that can be observed are the changes in position. The Sun and Moon both rise in the East and set in the West every day. The Earth is also continually rotating, so the objects in the sky appear to be moving.

At night, we can see the moon’s size change throughout the month in a pattern. This is called the moon ___________. Actually, the moon never changes size.
At night, we can see the moon’s size change throughout the month in a pattern. This is called the moon ___________. Actually, the moon never changes size.
Every month the Moon appears to change shape, but it is just the moon phases. The shadows on the Moon change throughout the month based on how much sunlight there is shining on the Moon's surface. This is a pattern that can be predicted because it repeats every month.

What is a pattern?
A pattern is something that can be observed happening over and over again. It is something that repeats the same way again and again. Patterns can be seen in nature, science, math, and everyday life!

The shape of the moon appears to change over a period of time in a predictable pattern.
The shape of the moon appears to change over a period of time in a predictable pattern.
The shape of the Moon does appear to change over a month in a predictable pattern. We call these moon phases. The Moon may appear to be full, only partly shown, or there may be no moon visible at all. This is because of the amount of sunlight shining on the Moon during that time of the month.

Over the month, the Moon appears to change shape like the picture below shows. We can predict what the Moon will look like next because it follows a(n) ___________.
Over the month, the Moon appears to change shape like the picture below shows. We can predict what the Moon will look like next because it follows a(n) ___________.
The Moon follows a predictable pattern over a month called the moon phases. Depending on how much sunlight is shining on the Moon, it will appear to change sizes.

We can _________ what will happen next when we follow the order of a pattern. For example, I know the Moon will rise in the East because it happens every night.
We can _________ what will happen next when we follow the order of a pattern. For example, I know the Moon will rise in the East because it happens every night.
We can make predictions based on patterns. When something happens every night (like the Moon rising in the East), we can make the best guess or a prediction that the same thing will happen again the next night.

If the Sun sets in the West every night tomorrow night I can predict based on this pattern that it will set in the ___________.
If the Sun sets in the West every night tomorrow night I can predict based on this pattern that it will set in the ___________.
Based on the pattern observed, we can assume that the same thing will happen again for the following nights. A pattern is something that repeats and is predictable so we can use it to make the best guess or what will happen next.

If the weather has been sunny and warm all week, what is a likely prediction for the weather tomorrow?
If the weather has been sunny and warm all week, what is a likely prediction for the weather tomorrow?
If a weather pattern has been sunny and warm all week, that is likely to continue. It would be uncommon for the weather to turn cold, with snow and freezing rain so quickly.

At night, what could you see in the sky?
At night, what could you see in the sky?
At night, the sky is dark. The sun cannot be seen in the night, only during the day. However, you could see both the moon and stars in the sky at night.

If it is snowing outside, what would the temperature likely feel like?
If it is snowing outside, what would the temperature likely feel like?
In order for snow to fall, the temperature has to be cold and there has to be moisture in the air. If the temperatures are not low enough, the snow would be rain. When the weather is warm or hot, snow cannot form. The correct answer is cold.

What are the four seasons?
What are the four seasons?
The four seasons are Summer, Fall (or Autumn), Winter, and Spring. Due to the Earth being slightly tilted, the seasons change as the Earth travels around the Sun.

What are seasons?
What are seasons?
The seasons are the four times of year that are broken up by characteristics. The Earth sits slightly tilted and travels around the Sun. Based on the Earth's location, the weather changes because of the amount of sunlight that part of the Earth is receiving.

How are seasons different?
How are seasons different?
Seasons are different because of their temperatures, the amount of daylight, and their weather. Winter is cold, summer is hot, spring is warm, and new plants start to grow, and fall is cooler with leaves changing on the trees. Each season is marked with unique characteristics.

The Sun does not set and rise at the same time every day throughout the year. The sunrise and sunset change slightly based on the Earth's slight tilt and where it is in its trip around the Sun.

Does the amount of daylight change throughout the year? Why or why not?
Does the amount of daylight change throughout the year? Why or why not?
The amount of daylight does change throughout the year. This is because of the Earth's tilt and position. Some seasons are warmer and have more sunlight, whereas others are cooler and have less sunlight.

How does your shadow change throughout the day?
How does your shadow change throughout the day?
During the day shadows change in length. When the Sun is directly above us our shadows are shorter, when the Sun is low in the sky our shadows are longer. This can be tested by going outside during different times on a sunny day and observing the length of your shadow.
