Space & Aliens
I really liked the idea of creating an alien that might survive on Mars. I would discuss life on Earth initially and how the position of our planet provides the ideal living conditions for us.
We would the use you tube videos and books to discuss what it might be like to live on Mars and what an alien might need to live there. We would discuss the landscape, the temperature, the dust. We could use google maps to explore images of Mars, and books with images of Mars.
We would draw an alien first and discuss why we add certain features to the alien.
We would then use play to create our aliens and we do a show and tell to discuss the aliens and it’s features and reasons for our choices.
