Online resources and tools:
A few of the online resources I would use would be ESA UNAWE and the Astronomy Picture of the Day to introduce lessons and topics.
I would also use them so the pupils could explore the interactive games and enhance their learning further.
The Constellation art button and Stellarium that other participants mentioned would also be something that my class would definitely enjoy- and I look forward to using them in the future and I think they provide a great link to art.
I also like the idea of using Milo and Marvin to introduce aliens in an imaginative way.
The variety of online resources mentioned in the module is great- very varied and provides a lot of different learning opportunities so I will definitely be implementing them in the coming school year. I also did not know about Blackrock observatory-what a great local asset to have- as a teacher in Dublin
On a different note, we do a space theme in Aistear like some of the other participants and it works wonderfully each year. There have been some great comments and tips further up the module regarding Aistear- thank you for sharing.
