Celestial Patterns and Solar System Concepts

Kelly introduces a video tutorial on understanding patterns in the sky using observations of the sun, moon, and stars. The video covers the characteristics of these celestial bodies, explains key vocabulary, and provides an interactive activity with Peep to help students visualize and predict patterns. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the differences between day and night skies and offers additional resources for further learning.
