There was a huge amount of resources and activities provided in this module! I particularly liked the online tools to support science and space. As a teacher I could see myself using the ESA website, it is very well laid out and informative. I think the children would enjoy the ESA kids site. Some of the games here such as ‘Milky Way Match’ would be lovely for a station in Aistear (using I pads).
I also loved the Stellarium software. I love that you can view the sky from and point in the world …. We have pupils from other countries …it would be lovely to view the night sky from their home town. I also liked the nice simple explanation given for finding the north star. I will use the idea of asking children to take a selfie with the north star behind them. I also liked the way you can show the constellations with/without their ‘picture’. The calendar function would also be handy for observing the phases of the moon also. This excellent resource would be great for senior classes.
