Module 3:
For this assignment, I choose the star’s activity. I would begin by getting the children to sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ and design a star during an art activity. We would discuss when stars can be seen. I would use the ‘Seeing Stars’ video from SFI as a resource for teaching the pupils about constellations. I would also use the ‘Draw your own constellation’. Focusing on lines and the eight stars of the plough, the pupils would design a constellation while integrating a mathematical element. The pupils could then name and present their designs. In groups, the pupils can recreate their constellations using their bodies.
