Astronomy 3-4 Week Unit Plan - Middle School Earth and Space Sciences
I have taught this as a 3-week unit in 6th grade many times, but it is advanced enough for 7th or even 8th grade. There is plenty of material which can be pared back for your individual or class needs. It can be challenging to complete the unit in 3 weeks, therefore allowing 4 weeks can be ideal and a good strategy for teaching this unit for the first time.This unit is more content and observation-based, vs. the other more typical investigation and lab based science units I've taught.
