The Moon

The sight of the moon in the night sky can be both familiar and mysterious. Readers are introduced to concepts such as the moon's rotation, orbit, and formation. They learn the basics of gravity, tides, atmosphere, and the phases of the moon. Fast facts, a hands-on activity, and eye-catching images capture readers' attention and enhance their understanding. This book correlates directly with the Next Generation Science Standards' expectation for understanding Earth's Place in the Universe in first and second grades.
