Why A Unit Study All About The Moon For Our Homeschool?

Our daughter Emily is fascinated by all things Space. We have done Space studies in the past and this year Emily asked to continue with that. A moon unit study is a natural extension of all our studies about Outerspace. 

The moon is easily recognized by kids because it’s the biggest object in our night sky. A homeschool unit study all about the moon is a great way to introduce Space, astronomy, and all kinds of fun topics related to Space.

How We Plan To Use This Moon Unit Study In Our Homeschool This Year

So how are we going to use this moon unit study in our homeschool? Our plan is to incorporate one lesson a day in the afternoons. We will study the moon with this all-in-one moon unit study in addition to our Space unit study together as a family. 

I’m hoping this moon unit study will be a fun way for us to dive deep into Emily’s interest in all things Space. We will start by watching a video from the YouTube playlist and completing the printable activity that matches with the video. Then, we can work together as a family on one of the fun hands-on moon projects or playing a moon themed game together.

When we get to that month’s full moon, I’m excited to complete the full moon activities and lunar lore for the month. By waiting until the full moon arrives that month, we will be able to actually observe the moon at the same time we are studying it. Making those connections is one of my favorite aspects of homeschooling.
