After seeing some lovely nature themed science work last week, I thought it would be fun to give you guys the opportunity to produce some Space themed work to recap a topic which we really enjoyed last term. You can choose what you would like to do from the list below. We look forward to seeing your work on the blog, or via Purple Mash email! Keep up the hard work!
- Build a model solar system – You could even try and create one “to scale” at your local park. This will give you a sense of how far apart everything is!
- Keep a moon diary for the next month. This would involve taking a photo or a quick drawing every day. You could keep a note of changes that you spot and even research which “phase” the moon is in.
- Design your own planet – Use lego, drawing, computers etc to design a new planet.
- Set up an investigation to find out how shadows change. It would be up to you to observe and record changes however you see fit. This could be across the day or across the week. It’s up to you!
- Design a space capsule for Mars that would allow a scientist (you) to live there indefinitely!
- You may want to have a literacy focus and create a short story about space. Maybe an astronaut gets left behind by his crew or you might want to write about what is happening to a “shooting star.”
- You could create factfiles or “top trumps” for the planets too.
Be creative!
