The Stellarium resource was something I really enjoyed looking at and one of those I can see being shared to colleagues throughout the school. It is a great resource for allowing students to see the real thing and get an idea of the constellations as they really appear in the night sky rather than in isolation. I can also see it being useful in allowing students to explore the night sky at home with family and then return to school to document their experience with the sky projected behind them.
In addition to the above, the resource could also be used as a way to start children in creative writing exercises.
The Marvin and Milo resource looks brilliant in that it offers very kid friendly instructions that can be utilised as well as experiments that would be interesting and beneficial to learners. I feel the way it illustrates the experiments through a comic format is useful in that it helps you give learners that more independence and it also gives them another way to document their own observations.
