    Online Resources and Tools

    Stellarium-web.org

    I would use this website for virtual stargazing in the classroom. I would display the night sky on the IWB and let the children explore different constellations and stars. I would encourage them to point out patterns in the sky. They could then use peg boards or chalk and black paper to recreate the constellations.

    Milo and Marvin

    I would use Milo and Marvin in role-play activities in the classroom. I would encourage children to dress up as Milo and Marvin or create alien-themed props for imaginative play. I would support them to act out scenarios from the stories or come up with their own space adventures with the alien characters.

    ESA and ESA Kids

    I would use this website for storytime in my classroom. We would choose appropriate stories about space exploration, astronauts, and the wonders of the universe. I would incorporate these stories into reading time to inspire curiosity about space in young learners.

    I would also use this website for space themed arts and crafts using the images on the website for inspiration. Children could look at a variety of pictures and create their own rockets, alien creatures, or planets using art materials/junk.

    I would also play the interactive games and solve space-themed puzzles as a whole class. This can be a fun way to reinforce learning about space in a playful manner.
