Abstract

We used a solar system simulation in which a space viewpoint and an earth viewpoint are interlocked. The fourth grades learned the changing phases of the moon. Specifically, the following points were practiced. (1) The teacher juxtaposed the monitor of a space viewpoint and an earth viewpoint in the classroom, because students might understand each viewpoint in an integrative way. (2) The teacher moved the viewpoint continuously to make students experience a continuous viewpoint movement. Analysis compared the control group with the experimental group. The following was found. (1) Using the solar system simulation helped students to understand the changing phases of the moon, which needs a Locomoting Viewpoint. (2) Changing the scale in the solar system simulation, helped student to understand the reason why the full moon becomes visible. (3) Using the solar system simulation had the effect of transferring the Locomoting Viewpoint of the moon to other models as well.
