During their study of the earth and moon, students from a local high school visited to give several demonstrations. Third graders were enthralled by these engaging presentations. Afterwards, they were encouraged to think about what made the presentations interesting.

The high school students gave presentations on the reasons for seasons using props. Not only did this help solidify the third graders understandings of the topic, but it also gave them ideas for their own productions.

Audience participation was encouraged. A ping pong ball on the end of a "balloon stick" and a strong light give third graders a chance to create the phases of the moon.

Students then got to work researching and creating their own presentations.

Then the filming began.
