Science Project Planning

The experiment that I want my students to participate in is to use Stellarium to draw on a calendar that I give them what the moon looks like for a month. Every day they will get on Stellarium and look up what the moon is going to look like that night. Then they will report their findings and discuss it in groups.
The content I will be focusing on is:
Standard 1
Students will understand that the shape of Earth and the moon are spherical and that Earth rotates on its axis to produce the appearance of the sun and moon moving through the sky.
Objective 2
Describe the movement of Earth and the moon and the apparent movement of other bodies through the sky.
b.Use a chart to show that the moon orbits Earth approximately every 28 days.
The pedagogy that this science experiment will help develop is that students will be able to observe and make a chart of the moon for one month. The students will acquire the data about the moon and then process it by looking at their findings to see that the moon orbits every 28 days.
I will have my students do a couple of extra days besides 28 so that they can see that there is a pattern. They will be able to use this data to create an explanation of how the moon orbits. The pedagogy of observing, making a chart, processing, and analyzing. This pedagogy is a good fit with the content because in order to see that the moon orbits every 28 days you need to be able to observe, make a chart and analyze it to see a pattern.
Stellarium is an easy way for the students to physically see the moon every night. Sometimes at night it is not possible to see the moon, but with Stellarium there won't be any cloud covers and if a student forgets they can just look up one of the nights that already has passed. This tool works well with the content of observing the moon because you have to be able to see the moon in order to see the pattern and the pedagogy is to observe and analyze so of course that's what you would be doing when looking at the moon on Stellarium.
