Space theme for term project?
Hey everyone. I have got about 4books & tons of infomation for the space theme that I am doing next term with the kids that I teach. I also do have some activities which I am going to do with them.
I just wanted to know, which would I start with or go in order by first introducing the Solar System & than the planets from the sun??? Or would I do earth after the intro of Solar System or earth before the solar system????
I also was just thinking, if the children are doing activites & colour in pages. (activites such as making the sun out of crafts & stuff,rockets) & putting it out on a day so that the parents could come & have a look at it. I would put out all the childrens things that they have done & make it a space themed day/morning on a saterday???
Start small. Get bigger in sequence. Use analogies for size.
Look no further than “Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?” by Robert E. Wells. A brilliantly thought-out, visually clever guide to size. Beginning with a blue whale’s flukes (“the ‘flipper’ parts of the tail, all by themselves bigger than most of Earth’s creatures”), he compares the relative sizes of Mount Everest (20 giant jars filled with 100 blue whales each), the earth, the sun, the Milky Way, all the way to the entire universe.
Kids LOVE this book. It is just what you need.
