    Hi Grace,

    I’ve been similar to you in using stations mainly for literacy and numeracy and had never thought to use them in this way for teaching space but it makes so much sense in terms of keeping the children really engaged by giving short targeted input and building on it by using a range of different activities. I can imagine that this would work really well at any class level and tactile activities such as the activity mentioned in this module whereby the children create craters like on the moon could be so effective when used in this manner.

    I think I would incorporate some Inquiry Based Learning by having a station based on the appearance of the moon and craters using images of the moon and the flour activity as a basis, another station based on the moon phases and how it appears in the sky, another on gravity etc.
