they are so cool! (literally – that is why they show up as dark spots, since they are cooler than the surrounding area).
Mags, have you seen https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/
which shows the view of the Earth from the ISS. It used to sometimes show the astronauts inside, and of course, each astronaut makes videos while they are on board, you can see some on tiktok by European astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti https://www.tiktok.com/@astrosamantha?lang=en.
Maria, I like the idea of showing images, and this is a chance to show different cultures and different parts of the world. There are a range of images of extremes of weather in different parts of the world in this resource from ESA: https://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/PR37_Moon_shelter.pdf, which is about making shelters -and has a suggested age of 8 to 12.
Mags, are there particular instructions that you use or do you ask the children to design and make based on what they are trying to measure? The Greenwave project (no longer running, but the resources are still on the sfi page at https://www.sfi.ie/__uuid/47f80047-293e-4b86-9392-e4c66ab141ab/) has some ideas to get children going.
