Hi Aideen,
This is lovely. A great way to explain that stars are actually quite far away from one another, for your own interest this reminded me of the Boötes void!
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading”></h2>Hi Sarah,
That sounds great here is a stars video, and for your own interest!
Hi Shauna,
This sounds wonderful! If you are covering twinkle twinkle! you can mention that stars of course twinkle in the sky but planets don’t and that’s one way to spot planets in the sky!
Hi Siobhan,
This is a very good point sometimes aliens do frighten younger children. Paxi can soften this!
Hi Susan,
This is fantastic and really well laid out! Paxi might be something you’re interested in using here!
Hi Tommy,
This sounds wonderful. I like your use of smiley faces in particular! What can be a fun one to get children interested in rockets is to show them a video like this – space is a strange place that we want to learn about and send people to explore here’s what goes on inside spacecraft!
Hi Tracy,
This sounds wonderful. It might be useful for this lesson to look at the sky cultures feature on Stellarium!
Hi Una,
This sounds wonderful! I love the hot seat idea. It can be cool to consider creatures living in and around extreme environments on earth – like volcanos!
Hi Orla,
This is wonderful. There are some cool moon missions coming up that you should keep an eye on! https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-iii/
Hi Rachel,
This sounds wonderful. I recommend looking at model magic for making planets. In terms of getting inspiration for aliens have a look at some of the funky creatures that live in more extreme environments here on Earth. https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/marine-animals/weirdest-sea-creatures
Hi Elaine,
This sounds fab. I especially like the idea of designing space suits! This resource might be cool to look at as even though the sun is the biggest star in our sky it is kind of average as far as stars go! It also has a few cool articles linked below it that seem like they would go well with the events you have planned.
Hi Helen,
This sounds wonderful. I like your idea for getting older classes to help! This video might also be useful!
Hi Elaine,
This is wonderful. That Chris Hadfield book is an excellent choice. It might be cool to made different kinds of rockets for comparison- for example ones launched with elastic or even a chemical reaction – like baking soda and vinegar.
Hi Audrey this is fantastic! I really like the design aspect here as well!
This might be a useful video to show the children!
Hi Louise,
This is wonderful. It could be interesting to consider what creatures who live in extreme environments on earth are like for some inspiration. https://www.animalsaroundtheglobe.com/14-creatures-that-live-in-volcanoes-6-330510/
