Science 6: Sky Science: Earth and Moon

This video explains the cyclical phenomena at work in the universe. Learn about the subtle changes in the sky as the Earth circles the sun/

Phil starts the planet-by-planet tour of the solar system right here at home, Earth.

Have you ever wondered why your shadow is longer sometimes and shorter others? It turns out it all has to do with that marvelous big ball of light in the sky; The Sun

Your home. Our Mission. And the one planet that NASA studies more than any other.

NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) missions help us to understand our planet’s interconnected systems, from a global scale down to minute processes. Learn more about their missions here!

Have you ever gotten lost? Don't panic, have some bannock! Wilfred Buck, a Knowledge Keeper and science facilitator, tells a story of how he got lost in the bush and shares how he used orienteering to get out safely using his knowledge of sky science

Play this animated video to learn more about the atmosphere - including all of the different layers of gases. There is also a quiz to test yourself.

Earth is made up of three major layers: lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. This activity will teach students about the properties of each layer.

In this episode of Crash Course Astronomy, Phil takes you through the cause and name of the Moon's phases.

A resource that lets students explore the topography of the moon.

From lighting up our skies to maintaining a geological record of our solar system’s history, Earth’s closest celestial neighbor plays a pivotal role in the studies of our planet and our solar system.

This page from NASA has an image showing the current (today's) phase of the moon. Scroll down for several amazing videos about moon phases.
