Activity: Online Resources & tools
There are so many great resources here that I would like to use in my classroom.
Space Scoop: What really stood out for me here were the lovely images on this site. These would be a great discussion starter for units of work on the solar system or stars.
Marvin & Milo: What a great way to introduce comic strips as a style of writing in literacy. I think the children would love these characters. They could be the classroom scientists, ‘What would Marvin & Milo do?’.
Stellarium: This is a fantastic resource and so many ideas came to mind when exploring this software. It’s a great tool to help teach infants the concept of day and night and discuss the differences between day/night as you can view the same image at sunrise/sunset. You could do some lovely art lessons using this resource. Explore the constellations and draw various different constellations. Create a silhouette of the image you are exploring.
