Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan

Topic

Most of the patterns and cycles of motion between the Earth and Sun are predictable.

Objectives

• Students will understand the predictable patterns of motion between the Earth and the Sun.
• Students will identify key cycles such as day/night and seasons.
• Students will be able to describe how these patterns affect life on Earth.

Grade/Age Group

Grade 5

Subject

Science

Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson corresponds to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Earth and Space Science.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector or smartboard
• Printouts of diagrams showing Earth-Sun relationships
• Access to science textbooks
• Homework assignment sheet

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (Minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the topic and explain the importance of understanding patterns in Earth-Sun motion. Use a diagram to illustrate.
2	Direct Instruction	10	Present detailed information about day/night cycles and seasons using diagrams and visuals. Engage students with questions.
3	Group Activity	8	Divide students into small groups to discuss and identify examples of predictable patterns. Provide handouts for guiding questions.
4	Class Discussion	5	Bring the class back together to share findings from the group activities. Facilitate a discussion on real-life examples of these patterns.
5	Homework Assignment	2	Distribute and explain the homework assignment, which involves observing the sun's position at different times of the day and noting changes.
6	Conclusion	2	Recap the main points of the lesson and highlight the significance of understanding Earth-Sun relationships in daily life.

Homework

Students will observe the sun's position at different times during a day and write a brief reflection on how its position changes and how it relates to what they learned during the lesson.

Assessment

Homework will be collected at the end of the next class, and feedback will be provided individually without presentations from students.

Additional Notes

• Ensure all materials are prepared in advance.
• Use engaging visuals to maintain student interest.
• Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson for better understanding.
