Stellarium & ESA Education Kids: I would use these websites in my previously noted lessons on stars from the last module. I would show videos from ESA Kids on space, differentiating them based on the topic. Stellarium would be used to star gaze, to look up the school on specific days where we are given report of a new phenomenon in the sky like when we saw the Aurora Borealus or when different constellations can be seen. We would map them out, draw them, construct them using playdoh and toothpicks, etc. I would the children identify different constellations by only giving them the name of the constellations and letting their imagination do the rest.
Milo and Marvin: For Marvin and Milo I would put on stories as revision and let them watch the cartoons during lunch breaks. It always amazes me the amount of information the children can gather visually and auditive.
I would also play the interactive games and solve space-themed puzzles, use the art themed props and craft ideas, as well as the different print outs and activities shown on ESA and ESA Kids to further develop and strengthen their knowledge on Space and the world around us.
