You can use the “Observing with NASA” robotic telescope network to take an astronomical observation of different celestial objects. It can be used to take an observation of two interacting galaxies. Then use this “Galaxy Crash” simulation and try to tell the story of these galaxies. Based on the simulation students can understand how these two galaxies where before they started to interact, how much time has it been since they started interacting and what will happen to them in future. Here you can find the answer keys for playing with M51 and its companion and the antennae galaxy in a galaxy crash.

The International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space laboratory in orbit around Earth. It is the product of collaboration between the United States, Russia, Japan Canada, and Europe and for many it is one of the greatest international project of all time. The first components of the station were launched in 1998 and its construction was completed two years later when it was finally ready for people to visit it. The ISS is meant for research that cannot be done on Earth. For example, studying the effects on people from living in space. You can take a tour inside the ISS here.

Intuitive drawing and personal the geography activities using Moon:

Intuitive drawing (or painting) and personal geography are two widely known art techniques through which the artists try to develop their imagination and reflect on themselves or different situations. These are fun activities you could also do with young students. The Moon is an excellent starting point for both.

If you have young students, you can stir up their imagination by giving them a picture of the full Moon and ask them to draw anything that the areas of the Moon reminds them of. This is a little intuitive drawing activity, similar to the game we often do with cloud shapes when trying to imagine what they could depict.

2. Supermoons are very rare and they can cause natural catastrophes.

The Moon’s orbit around the Sun is not a circle; it’s an ellipse and the Earth is located at one of its fixed points. When the Moon is on its orbit’s point that is closest to Earth (Perigee), it is 15.000 km closer to Earth then when it is at the farthest point (Apogee). Full moons that occur when the Moon is on the Perigee are called Supermoons and they usually happen once a year. They are 14% bigger and 30% brighter than an average full moon. However, the difference is quite small even to be noticed when the Moon is high on the sky and there is nothing to use as reference. Supermoon tides are higher only by a few centimeters so they cannot cause any floods or any other natural catastrophes.

Myths and Misconceptions

1. The Moon is not spinning around its axis which is why we only see one side of it.
Classroom activity suggestion: You can easily explain this to your students, by doing a little representation. Ask a student to play the role of the Earth and another the role of the Moon. You can also ask them to wear masks to make this a more vivid experience. Than ask you student to simulate the motions of the Moon and the Earth. While the Earth-student rotates around his/her axis, ask the Moon-student to perform:

1. One rotation around the Earth-student without spinning around his/her axis;

2. One rotation around the Earth-student while spinning fast;

3. One rotation around the Earth-student while spinning very slow;

4. One rotation so that the rotation around the Earth-student is equal to the time it takes to rotate once around his/her own axis.

During the process ask the rest of the class to observe the faces of the students and see in which case the face of the Moon-student always faces the Earth-student.

When introducing the question to your students ask them to make a guess (hypothesis), but don’t tell them the correct explanation. Then, perform the representation as a small experiment and then ask them to decide what is the correct explanation and compare it to their initial hypothesis.

The Late Heavy Bombardment

The Late Heavy Bombardment era took place somewhere between 4.1 and 3.8 billion years ago. During this era, the planets and moons of our solar system were heavily bombarded by numerous asteroids that existed in our Solar system during that era. The Maria on the surface of the Moon are evidence of that era. Some of the collisions that occurred were so massive that allowed lava to surface, flood these areas and create the Maria. As the crust on the far side of the Moon is thicker, collisions did not have that huge an impact and lava basins were not formed. Earth had its own scars from that era, just like other inner planets but they have long vanished due to erosion, weathering and tectonic activity.

Here is a model that could explain how this Late Heavy Bombardment era may have occurred.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing everyone notices when they first see the far side of the Moon, is that it is very different to the near side. There are a lot less maria (Latin word for "seas") and a lot more craters. How can that be?

Many think that this is because the Earth acts as a shield for the near side of the Moon so the far side is the one that has suffered the heaviest bombardment. However, this is most probably not the case. The Earth is in fact a very small, practically a negligible shield of the near side of the Moon.

Let’s see an explanation offered by David Morrison, Senior Scientist and Brad Bailey, Staff Scientist:

“The real reason there are more impact craters on the far side of the Moon is that the near side has a much thinner crust which has allowed volcanoes to erupt and fill in ancient large basins (or large impact craters). These large lava flows have covered craters that were formed early in the Moon’s history through the late heavy bombardment, which is when the largest percentage of impacts were occurring in the inner solar system. It is likely that each side of the Moon has received equal numbers of impacts, but the resurfacing by lava results in fewer craters visible on the near side than the far side, even though the both sides have received the same number of impacts. Further, the oldest areas in both near and far side are saturated, meaning that they have reached equilibrium (each new crater, on average, destroys one old one). In this case, the density of craters is no longer an accurate measure of the number of hits the surface has received.”

As we have seen in the information presented above, the Sun is not ‘quite’. It is not like a switched-on lightbulb that simply emits light. There are numerous events and phenomena going on constantly. Solar activity follows an 11-year solar activity during which the Suns activity differs.

Fun Fact: When looking at an eclipse, one can tell if the Sun is going through an active or quite period by looking at the solar corona. The material there and the streams they follow can ‘show’ us what the Sun’s magnetic field looks like during that period. When the Sun is in a low activity period, we can "see" indirectly the lines of its magnetic field (Image A). When the Sun is in a high activity period, there are many sunspots and flares, which involve very intense magnetic fields. Thus, the lines of the magnetic field are not so clear (Image B).
Common misconceptions

1. The Sun is a unique object in the Universe.

2. The Sun is about the size of the Moon. This is why we have total eclipses.

Establishing if life ever existed on Mars is one of the outstanding scientific questions of our time. As ESA mentions “To address this important goal, the European Space Agency (ESA) has established the ExoMars programme to investigate the Martian environment and to demonstrate new technologies paving the way for a future Mars sample return mission in the 2020's.

Two missions are foreseen within the ExoMars programme: one consisting of the Trace Gas Orbiter plus an Entry, Descent and landing demonstrator Module (EDM), known as Schiaparelli, launched on 14 March 2016, and the other, featuring a rover, with a launch date of 2020. Both missions will be carried out in cooperation with Roscosmos.”

I am a teacher in a Minority Primary School in Komotini, Greece. The programme of our school is bilingual and my students are Muslims. I am teaching in the Greek Language programme. I teach Greek as well as secondary courses. My students age group is 6-11. My goal is to give to my students as many oppurunitis as I can to express themselves, to communicate and to feel good about themselves. From my experience in the classroom untill now this requires project based learning, beeing innovative and creative and as Margaret Mead said teach them how to think and not what to think.
