I very much enjoyed exploring the stellarium web. The children would really love looking at this.
While it is advanced for them they would certainly enjoy it.
They would be amazed by it. It links to the phasing of the moon and this is something that they can see clearly in the sky themselves. It would teach them so much about natural nature. The night sky and stars are fascinating and this website would nurture that innate interest we all have in the skies.
Follow up activities would be amazing. imagine how wonderful it would be for the children to draw the phases of the moon as they occur on a sheet of paper divided into sections. I think it is something they would remember for life.
Next year’s class will have a child from Australia. It will be really interesting for her to see what the moon will be like there.
This will all link to science. Gravity in previous module can be explored by looking at Australia on the globe and wondering why we don’t fall off!
This was the best module and website I have ever covered. It was so interesting!
