I again found this module very interesting and full of ideas and resources. I like that the activities put the complex information into such simple and clear language for the children.
I would like to try an activity from the Stars set : Lots of stars.
How many stars: The lesson plan is well laid out and easy to follow. I really liked the idea of using clear containers and marbles to explore this concept. The idea of adding 5 then maybe 30 then a full jar. The discussion sheet provided would also be great here.
Making a Starry Sky: This is an activity that children would really enjoy. I like that it introduces the concept that stars are different colours too. I think I would do it as a group activity using a very large sheet of paper. I think this would be messy but fun ! The children would enjoy splattering the paint using toothbrushes, combs and lollypop sticks also. Asking them to try and count the stars after would be fun also and then you could explain that there are so many stars that humans need to use a computer to count them.
