Outer Space
I would begin the lesson by asking the children ‘What do you know about space?’ which children would answer through mentimeter.com and the answers are recorded on the board.
Show the children some pictures of the solar system, planets and stars and ask the children to identify what is in the pictures.
Read “There’s No Place Like Space” (a Cat in the Hat book) and discuss the book
Create a Starry Night – Give each child a piece of black paper and white chalk and draw stars, planets, and other space objects. They can use space-themed stickers to add more details. Encourage creativity and ask questions such as “What do you think it’s like to live on Mars?”
Using tablets and Book Creator, allow students to work in small groups to research focus questions (e.g. “Which planet is the hottest?” or “How many moons does Saturn have?”) and create a book about what they have learned.
Gather the students and ask them to present their book and share one new thing they learned about space.
