I am looking forward to using the ESERO resource – Lots and Lots of Stars along with the resource for making Star Lanterns (spaceweek.ie).
The plan is to create a starry sky by firstly looking at relevant images of night skies. Afterwards painting an A4 sheet to match the sky at night. Once this is dry the class will make stars using paint and toothbrushes. We will discuss the starry sky and use the worksheet to count the stars in the sky explaining that there are so many stars it takes a computer to count accurately.
