I have gained a wealth of information and knowledge about how to teach the topic of Space. This course has made me aware of so many fantastic resources and sample lessons to do with younger pupils. Prior to beginning this course, I wouldn’t have known where to begin when teaching a lesson about Space to younger classes. I have been shy to conduct experiments with younger classes due to behavioural issues in the classroom and being apprehensive of how successful a Science lesson could be, but having learned how simple these lessons can be, I am excited to do many more experiments in the coming academic year. The same can be said for projects, I associate projects with senior classes, given that they are more independent and have more experience doing such tasks. However, I now understand that it is not as difficult as I thought and perhaps I need to release the responsibility on to the pupils to be free in their investigations and explorations. I am particularly keep to use resources such as ESA Kids, Stellarium Web, Marvin and Milo, ESERO activities, Curious Minds.
