Moon‘s First Friends!🌚 This SF, RA book is a perfect science option for primary grades. The book is a fictional story about the moon and her desperation for visitors! Throughout the book, we learn about various historical scientific events, the main one being the first landing on the moon. The story puts everything in simpler terms for children.

acassatta The ESOL strategy used in the classroom for this story would be #50 which deals with content comprehension since we are learning about some factual information. The UDL principle 3.1, activating background knowledge, would work well with this book because of the science included that some students may know about to a degree. #ucflae3414sp21 (edited) 3y

OliviaBuck I love how this can teach science but is also fiction, I feel this is a great option for students who don‘t like nonfiction, but they can still learn something from this! 3y

acassatta This website includes fun science experiments for students to perform in celebration of the moon landing that occurred just over 50 years ago! https://blog.csiro.au/space-rocks-six-science-experiments-to-celebrate-the-moon-... 3y

DrSpalding Sad but true I just saw that Michael Collins one of the astronauts that went to the moon in 1969, passed away today. The tribute to him was very touching! While this book is fictitious it is a valuable book for teaching science content. I could see this being paired with a nonfiction text about the lunar landing. 3y
