 Inspiring students using astronomy
 I K. Anil Kumar, M.Sc,. M.Phil., Gudivada, India work as a physics educator (with a particular personal interest in astronomy), in Gudivada, India. My goal is to inspire and educate my students in observational astronomy, familiarizing them with the tools, installations, and techniques employed. For essays in astrophotography. we use a 2-inch O.G. Galileoscope and 3.15 inch MIRA 890 refractor.  With this equipment I and my students were able to successfully observe and photograph the transit, and other phenomena on the solar disc.

History
I have used the history of human understanding of the universe in lessons and the students do find the human stories behind the discoveries to be fascinating. I think that there is scope for preparing an interdisiplinary unit that could be delivered over a period of a few weeks simultaneously with the science and history departments of the school, so that the students history and science lessons for those weeks would dovetail nicely between the story of discovery and practical work in the lab to deepen the scientific principles behind it. Alternatively for science and maths, there is a nice activity here showing students how the Greeks were able to measure the circumference of the Earth in around 200 BC: https://www.astro.umd.edu/~richard/ASTRO340/eratosthenes.pdf

Finally, I could link this topic to a drawing or painting session run by an Arts teacher

Cross-curricular contact points  on Math- Philosophy-Music- Religious studies- Poetry
Usually we connect Math and Physics in activities about cross-curricular. This time I plan to connect some subject that my students would find more interesting. I suppose that it could be possible to link studies on  the subjects I mentioned above with the measurement of the sundowns. of height objects in order to find out their height using the Thales Theorem about the similar triangles and the 
link http://www.spacescoop.org/en/scoops/1614/the-planet-with-three-suns/ to start the lesson. Then I will teach the Thales theorem and ask my colleagues to collaborate about poems about stars and then music that inspired from these poems and finally ask my colleagues who teach religious to help students to explore the belief about of the  world' s creation. I loved the idea of involve space and astronomy in my classroom and also make it the meeting point for so many different subjects.

Cross curricular
Quite often when teaching a complex topic or indeed a 'theory heavy' topic, it can be quite difficult to retain students interests in the topic. The use of 'hooks' (visual aids, models, videos, etc.) are very important in retaining and maintaining students attention but also in fostering their curiosity in class. They can also provide links to other subjects they do in school. In the case for Space Science, one option is to link up with film studies/English class in the school. Films such as 'The Martian', 'Gravity' and indeed even Star Trek offer opportunities to explore ideas and technology within science. The scenes in 'The Martian' where he is trying to secure his survival by growing potatoes can provide a gateway to expand and explore the idea of growing food in space and how one it may help in the eventual manned trips to Mars. Indeed there are many instances in this particular film that could be used to start many exploratory discussions on space.
I think the starting point could be how can technology improve our life, then, since I'm a Star Trek, we could watch a film and improve our students' vocabulary, connect the theme of traveling with literature, art.

During the last 5 years I teach the 6th Grade of primary school and every year I choose to teach both the lessons of Natural Sciences and Geography, because I find many links between the two subjects. For example, I always teach the unit of N.S. "Sky and Earth" together with the unit of Geography "Earth, our planet" because the context is relevant between them. We study the names of our solar system's planets, according to Greek mythology, we make models of our solar system and we make some research in the Internet to find some more information about the planets. This year I will try to correlate the previous units with the N.S. unit about "Magnets", so that the students can better understand the notion of gravity. I am also planning to introduce a story about the creation of the universe, in the Literature lesson, with the book "O yios tis asteroskonis" (The son of stardust) by Stavros Avgoloupis) and then write our poems and stories about a fantastic trip to the universe. I am sure that my students will get excited learning more and about space and our solar system.

- Physics concepts - centrifugal & centripetal forces , Tidal concepts , Gravitational force , laws of optics etc
- History and culture in analyzing various calendars  based on the phases of moon and sun.
- mathematics in understanding the basic motions and linking with time keeping and navigation.

 One can start from how we read a map, inserting the notions of scale, longitude, latitude etc. (mathematics please!) Then he can hop on to history and astronomy to talk about the first great explorers of the past, and the way they used the stars to find their way - plus about how they created their maps to gather and write down shortly all the information on the unknown place they were exploring. 
How and by whom was a past earth exploration/ is a future space mission designed, funded and organised is a question leading the students to realize some socioeconomic factors that influence explorers and their work.

Mapping using satellites opens a vast new field to discuss and work on, whereas maps of the past and the present can be an inspiration for artistic creations and exploration - themed artwork can be part of the plan, too.

Finally, literature enters the game, considering using some texts on space and earth exploration, as well as the maps created for many books to describe the fantastic or existing worlds their action takes place in.

Space is definitely an overarching theme to various curriculum areas. Over the years that I am a teacher, and the school where I went, I have done small projects with colleagues Biology, ICT, History, Arts, Mathematics and Geography. There are many possibilities to be interdisciplinary with the theme of space. An example is the construction of an air rocket where we can "mix" Physics, Arts, ICT, Mathematics ..

I think that the space can be a great food for thought as the host activities at the beginning of the school year. On the basis of the ideas that I have been offered, I plan to set up a task with pupils of the upper class. With the math teacher can review the power concepts, scientific notation, order of magnitude. With the professor of physics the concepts of force, speed, space, time. With the Italian teacher poetry or stories about space. With the drawing teacher prepare billboards or plastic. With the IT teacher search for images or information and then assemble them into a multimedia product. With the teacher of religion to promote a discussion on the "birth" of space.

There is a massive mountain on Mars called Mount Olympus Mons. It stands 22 km high. This is a perfect opportunity to link a science class with a geography or maths class. Students could compare earths mountains and how they are formed to this Martian mountain in Geography. Perhaps they could compare the heights of Olympus Mons with the heights of the highest mountain range in each continent and compare them by working out their ratios relative to each other.

Teaching about astronomy is a very good opportunity to let students understand about the speed of light and how it has been calculated historically. It also shows students how patterns in data can be used to not only predict events but also to understand the laws of nature and use these laws to develop even more hypothesis.
You can easily model the discovery of Olaf Roemer by using GeoGebra or another dynamic geometriy software. Depending on the age of the students you teach, the model can be more or less accurate and sophisticated.
Since students are interested in life on Mars, if it exists or not, I would like to cooperate with the biology teacher to create a joined project about what would be necessary and how could we create realistic living conditions for people on Mars.

There are many topics which will be linked to other subject for a joint project. While we study for example mass during mathematics hours, we need to talk about gravity; from my own experience children usually can understand butter this idea if we compare Earth's gravity with Moon's gravity. They were evry time very delighted to knew those difference. So we can find how is gravity in other planets. Cartoons are the better way to understand facts, children can see and can draw cartoons. When the classroom is learning about greek mitology with the istory’s teacher, We can explore the sky with videos looking for constellation, stars, planets and study them. So if children are studing the primitive men or anyway evry population, we can compare human needs and the solutions found with needs and solutions find whose are living in ISS. So we have to study tecnology, biology, chemical, phisics topics and much more.

The space theme is certainly transdisciplinary. When we study the acceleration, for example, we can relate to biology and the physical education. To perform some of the physical activities the students understand better what they are studying, once they feel the effects of acceleration in the body and compare with what feel if they were in the space.

Additionally, students can compare the distance between planet and compare their sizes mathematically while talking about how all of current knowledge is developed from different cultures in history class.

Recently I have thought about a project that involves Physics, Math, ICT, Geography and Phylosophy. The topic is the three Kepler's laws. 
Physics show you the three laws also from an historical point of view
Geography cuold work with the Solar Sistem
Math cuold explain the ellipse and with GeoGebra (ICT) it is possibile to build an animation of the first and, maybe, of the second law.

I have always thought that space and astronomy can fit with all other subjects, for example, if we think about an argument like resonance, we could put together physics, music, art, technology and astronomy (Titius-Bode law).
We are just starting new school year, and I already talked to an italian teacher in my school to build something together.
For example:
stars and costellation can be used in this way
Art: points of view and changing of relative position
Italian literature: poems and other works about stars (just think about Dante's Commedia)
Geography: different cultures and traditions of costellations: differences and analogies, so that you can also talk about common origin of human culture (some anthropology)
Chemistry: different colours of star mean different age but also...
Art, ICT, music can be linked directly or passing through other disciplines...

Interdisciplinarity
I could use space topics with my elementary school students​:
1) in Language, writing about extra terrestrial life and how we imagine it
2) in Math, calculating the distance between Earth and Sun
3) in Physics, to find out in which planet we weigh less :-)
4) in Chemistry, to guess what elements exist in a far away planet
5) in Art, designing an imaginary solar system
6) in ICT, create animation

I think an obvious choice is to combine Astronomy and Physics with History and Philosophy. Greece has run a long way in Astronomy. All the major Greek Philosophers have studied Astronomy and Physics and had something to say about these topics. It is a good idea to study the evolution of their ideas about Space and the Cosmos from antiquity to modern times. 
Another, very popular I have to say, combination, comes from the following equation: 
 Astronomy + Biology = Search for Extraterrestrial Life
A very popular subject to the students indeed!

I think I could built a project with my partners of Visual and Manual Arts and History department. We can use constellations, its origin as a background to explain the cientific method used since Greeks, Muslims and scientists today. The project can also involve the techonology department, asking the student to built a rocket, and to relate its moviment with physics and maths, introduce diferents moviments talking about planets and satellits, and the language skills would be developed asking students to make different kind of presentations (paper, video....)

Certainly there are many ways to use space&astronomy as interdisciplinary subject. I would like starting from a reading, it could be suitable the novel entitled “La chiave segreta dell’universo” written by Lucy and Stephen Hawking. This book is full of many scientific concepts but they are explained in an easily understood way by means of an adventurous story.  The literature teacher could propose to read the book, with the science teacher the students could study in depth the scientific concepts, the art teacher could ask the students for drawings telling the plot of the novel, the technology teacher could help to create a video to narrate the tale through the pictures realized by the students, the music teacher could help to choose a suited soundtrack … �����+~

A good example of interdisciplinary work is done in primary school, where, in Portugal, a single teacher covers the different areas of knowledge.

For example, in the study of the solar system, students work, in addition to astronomy, ICT, for information research, the mother tongue, in the production of texts and artistic expression in the construction of models or posters.

As a primary teacher it is easy to connect different subjects to one theme. We will do a spacetheme, when our language methode has that theme. So vocabulary will be one part. In maths we can do mathactivities. In our hallway we have a square there. We can make a scale model of the universe. I'm thinking of a black canvas to the sealing. with punctured holes in it so when the lights are on, you will see stars. A ball of the earth a big sun and all the planets around the earth. Make a space rocket so children can pretend that they are astronauts. ( I teach 6 year olds ;-)). So a lot of ideas!

As a language teacher, I would envisage a science fiction project.

Advances in robotics and brain imaging have brought the idea of a human-like robot closer and closer – the day may come when we just might see Robbie tending to our children…

Connecting subjects
Maybe one first approach that I would take connecting space & astronomy to other subjects (not STEM related, that are more obvious) could be with history, the implementation of calendar or time measurement (day/night, year). One example related to history is that here in Mexico the Maya civilization was an ancient culture that were good as astronomers.  There is even a structure in Yucatan called the observatory. Also most of the times the ancient cultures in Mexico aligned their religious or important buildings/pyramids with the movement of the Sun or the Moon along the year.

The “Full STEAM Ahead“ is a two-year long cross-curricular project created to help students to enrich, acquire and strengthen  knowledge in the areas of  Astronomy, robotics and coding by using carefully selected teaching methodologies. The project brings together approximately 150 teachers and 1300 students from 5 European countries (Croatia, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and France) to attract the interest to science and scientific activities, gaining skills in observing the world around us. Planned activities are divided in main categories: ASTRONOMY, ROBOTICS, TECHNOLOGY (ICT), EARTH SCIENCE, ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH and each partner is specialized in a certain area. The project will follow MARS MISSIONS and students will design a Mars habitat, Mars rocket and program a Mars rover out of Lego bricks and EV3 Mindstorms robot.They will learn about space related careers and space laws.
The topics of exobiology, robotics, space tourism, design of astronaut suit and even DNA mutations will be explored.
Activities will also focus on new web 2.0 and 3.0 tools and safety on the Internet. Students will experience the entire engineering process, from imagining to designing, researching to testing and simulations. We will connect STEM activities with the history of Space exploration through games and storytelling activities, as well as entrepreneurship, exploring and 3D printing of Mars habitat and Space Law.

Galileoscope and 3.15 inch MIRA 890 refractor.  With this equipment I and my students were able to successfully observe and photograph the transit, and other phenomena on the solar disc.

I have used the history of human understanding of the universe in lessons and the students do find the human stories behind the discoveries to be fascinating. I think that there is scope for preparing an interdisiplinary unit that could be delivered over a period of a few weeks simultaneously with the science and history departments of the school, so that the students history and science lessons for those weeks would dovetail nicely between the story of discovery and practical work in the lab to deepen the scientific principles behind it. Alternatively for science and maths, there is a nice activity here showing students how the Greeks were able to measure the circumference of the Earth in around 200 BC: https://www.astro.umd.edu/~richard/ASTRO340/eratosthenes.pdf

Finally, I could link this topic to a drawing or painting session run by an Arts teacher

Usually we connect Math and Physics in activities about cross-curricular. This time I plan to connect some subject that my students would find more interesting. I suppose that it could be possible to link studies on  the subjects I mentioned above with the measurement of the sundowns. of height objects in order to find out their height using the Thales Theorem about the similar triangles and the
link http://www.spacescoop.org/en/scoops/1614/the-planet-with-three-suns/ to start the lesson. Then I will teach the Thales theorem and ask my colleagues to collaborate about poems about stars and then music that inspired from these poems and finally ask my colleagues who teach religious to help students to explore the belief about of the  world' s creation. I loved the idea of involve space and astronomy in my classroom and also make it the meeting point for so many different subjects.

Astronomy can be used to teach why winter, autumn, spring and summer happens. Also, use of data from satellites observing climate change can help to understand the increasing effects of climate change.
Analyzing Venus' phases can be understood why the universe can not be geocentric as was considered since ancient times. Observing and taking data of the position of Mars can be understood the origin of Trigonometry.

Quite often when teaching a complex topic or indeed a 'theory heavy' topic, it can be quite difficult to retain students interests in the topic. The use of 'hooks' (visual aids, models, videos, etc.) are very important in retaining and maintaining students attention but also in fostering their curiosity in class. They can also provide links to other subjects they do in school. In the case for Space Science, one option is to link up with film studies/English class in the school. Films such as 'The Martian', 'Gravity' and indeed even Star Trek offer opportunities to explore ideas and technology within science. The scenes in 'The Martian' where he is trying to secure his survival by growing potatoes can provide a gateway to expand and explore the idea of growing food in space and how one it may help in the eventual manned trips to Mars. Indeed there are many instances in this particular film that could be used to start many exploratory discussions on space.

During the last 5 years I teach the 6th Grade of primary school and every year I choose to teach both the lessons of Natural Sciences and Geography, because I find many links between the two subjects. For example, I always teach the unit of N.S. "Sky and Earth" together with the unit of Geography "Earth, our planet" because the context is relevant between them. We study the names of our solar system's planets, according to Greek mythology, we make models of our solar system and we make some research in the Internet to find some more information about the planets. This year I will try to correlate the previous units with the N.S. unit about "Magnets", so that the students can better understand the notion of gravity. I am also planning to introduce a story about the creation of the universe, in the Literature lesson, with the book "O yios tis asteroskonis" (The son of stardust) by Stavros Avgoloupis) and then write our poems and stories about a fantastic trip to the universe. I am sure that my students will get excited learning more and about space and our solar system.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually propose some links between every subject I teach and space sciences. For instance, for Earth Science, I compare structures and dynamics of our Earth to those of other terrestrial planets, discussing similarities and differences in the light of a wider approach. Other examples could be life in space for humans when we face with biology curricula. In this way, human physiology can be learnt better as a simple list of processes to study. Works of students are finally shown during science days events. (see the attachment)

- History and culture in analyzing various calendars  based on the phases of moon and sun.

This year I plan on working with my 9 year old students on the ideas of exploration and mapping.

Both of these two main subjects connect directly to space missions and the way we organize our findings to create a map of the universe. But they also offer a series of contact points that can lead to working on history, mathematics, literature and art projects (besides astronomy ones, obviously).

One can start from how we read a map, inserting the notions of scale, longitude, latitude etc. (mathematics please!) Then he can hop on to history and astronomy to talk about the first great explorers of the past, and the way they used the stars to find their way - plus about how they created their maps to gather and write down shortly all the information on the unknown place they were exploring.
How and by whom was a past earth exploration/ is a future space mission designed, funded and organised is a question leading the students to realize some socioeconomic factors that influence explorers and their work.

Mapping using satellites opens a vast new field to discuss and work on, whereas maps of the past and the present can be an inspiration for artistic creations and exploration - themed artwork can be part of the plan, too.

Finally, literature enters the game, considering using some texts on space and earth exploration, as well as the maps created for many books to describe the fantastic or existing worlds their action takes place in.

Teaching about astronomy is a very good opportunity to let students understand about the speed of light and how it has been calculated historically. It also shows students how patterns in data can be used to not only predict events but also to understand the laws of nature and use these laws to develop even more hypothesis.
You can easily model the discovery of Olaf Roemer by using GeoGebra or another dynamic geometriy software. Depending on the age of the students you teach, the model can be more or less accurate and sophisticated.
