Did you know that 10 new stellar Solar System units were just added to TrueFlix? These new additions include multimedia coverage on all 8 planets, the Sun and the Moon.
This time of year means shorter days and longer nights for most of us—and longer nights mean more time to gaze into the night sky. Use this opportunity to examine the moon and its effect on the Earth. Students can explore the phases of the moon, as well as special occurrences such as a blue moon, harvest moon, and more. |
