Topic:The Moon
I really enjoyed the suggested activities in this module based on the moon. I can see these working very well in both a junior and senior class.
I loved the experiment showing how to recreate craters in the moon using flour and a heavy round object. This experiment really brings to life for the children the impact that an astroid might have on the moon. Hands on experiments like this would really engage the children imaginations.
I also really liked the craft activity where the children tried to recreate the texture of the surface of the moon. Showing the children close up pictures of the moons craters would help them to imagine how the surface of the moon really looks like.
Children learn so well through working with their hands and this craft activity could spark genuine interest in the moon, planets and outer space in general.
