I would choose the activity set: Stars
To engage the children I would show the One Billion + Stars video
Next I would do the activity from universe in a box where you out marbles in a jar and ask if there are more stars in the sky than marbles in the jar. Then add more marbles to the amount of pupils in the class, then fill the jar with marbles and ask if there are more stars.
Using the chromebooks the children will access the Britannica Launchpack Space Exploration Years 3 – 5 and look at the videos and do the activities in the pack.
Then we will listen to the constellation song
In maths we will do a poll for what to name a star. We will gather the information and graph the results.
Finally in Art we will draw an alien on white paper with white wax crayons. Then we will paint a dark sky background over it. To finish the children will add lots of stars using combs and toothbrushes.
