Description

Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules Solar System Complete Kit will have your students explore Solar System right in the classroom (or at home) and gain perspective on the physical relationships between objects in our Solar System. First, students will get to become familiar with the names and positions of the 9 planets, researching one planet and sharing information with the class. Next, combining geometry and astronomy concepts, students will study ellipses and planetary orbits, then circles and planet shapes. Model planets and a classroom-size model of the Solar System dramatize the relative sizes and distances of our cosmic neighborhood. The unit also introduces students to some of the satellites in our Solar System, such as asteroids, meteoroids, and comets, in addition to extending to stars and their celestial patterns (the constellations that have intrigued sky-gazers for millennia).

Along with the kit activities, the Solar System Delta Science Reader (and complementary Skillbuilders booklet that helps students practice reading/grammar/writing/vocabulary skills with the content from the Delta Science Reader) will have your students take a reading and visual tour of the Sun and the 9 planets. Students will also: explore space objects such as comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; read about the rotation and revolution of the planets and the causes of night and day, seasonal changes, and the phases of the Moon; learn about what a planetary geologist does; and lastly, discover how telescopes work.

Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) consist of a total of 59 assorted kits ranging from Grade K to 8 levels, each with a step-by-step teacher guide, student readers, 12-14 interconnected activities, and enough equipment to serve up to 32 students. Select kits also contain a pre-paid coupon for Living materials. Educators have the flexibility to have students follow the detailed activities that are provided, or customize their own curriculum plan with the equipment provided.
