TPCK questions

What is the content you are focusing on in your science lesson?
The content of the science lesson specifically focuses on the movement of the Earth, it's rotation and revolution, as well as the heavenly view of such. Students will understand why the sky changes from day to night, and why various constellations may be seen at different times of the year.

What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content?
The pedagogy I am using deals with the a simple explanation of how the Earth rotates on an axis as well as around the sun. Following this discussion, students are allowed to explore Stellarium in order to be able to visually see how these concepts are applied.

What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
The technology works well because it gives students the freedom to explore through their own intrinsic motivation, as well as to experience the concepts being taught that would not easily be applicable without the Stellarium program.
