As a start to school SSE we could introduce ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day/Week’ across the whole school to inspire wonder and interest. Stellarium.org could also support a space fact per week. The data gathering element of SSE would be handled as follows:
TEACHERS: a SWOT analysis to gather opinion on current practice
STUDENTS: Sample Questionnaire for Pupils – Science
This questionnaire might be used with pupils in an evaluation of provision in SESE. Schools could adapt the questions to suit their own context or the specific focus of their evaluation.
