I will definitely be using the ESERO activity Lots and Lots of Stars. Children often find the sheer expanse of what we are talking about when referring to space difficult to understand but I think the jar activity is a great way to give them an idea of the reality of space and the vastness of stars in space. I also love the follow art activity of spatter painting and this is well linked to the science lesson It is a great opportunity for children understand there are billions of stars in the sky and how they are all different.
The UNAWE activities are great for younger children. I will be teaching these lessons to junior classes. Constellation Shapes activity is particularly appropriate for this age group and could be an extension of the jar activity above. These activities would be very fitting for science week and space week too as often it is difficult to find appropriate activities that are interesting and engaging for the younger classes.
