摘要
It is natural to study astronomy outdoors, but it is not quite as natural to study astronomy during the daytime. This lesson uses the Earth's closest star as a subject of study within the schoolyard. The importance of the rising sun is combined with hands-on inquiry in which students explore the properties of shadows. Students (a) complete a modified Know and Need to Know (KNK) chart about shadows, (b) complete task cards to help direct their inquiry, (c) develop two rules about shadows and the sun, and (d) reflect upon the experience through a writing assignment.
