NOS10 - (Students should be able to appreciate the role of science in society; and its personal, social and global importance; and how      society influences scientific research) - this LO explores students appreciation for the science all around them. Earth and Space make up our universe and its important for students to understand how science has helped us to understand the universe that we live in. 
PW2 - (Students should be able to identify and measure/calculate length, mass, time, temperature, area, volume, density, speed, acceleration, force, potential difference, current, resistance, electrical power) - if students are given questions about comparing planets or celestial objects they should know how to calculate their measurements.
BW10 - (Students should be able to evaluate how humans can successfully conserve ecological biodiversity and contribute to global food production; appreciate the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems Building) - i believe there is some what of a link here as earth is home to all of the ecosystems that we study and it shows how humans can affect the world around them which in turn affects our planet.]]> 2020-05-07 11:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557109566 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557156255 2020-05-07 11:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557156255 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557162683 2020-05-07 11:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557162683 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557165956 developing key skills is very important for all students and within this learning outcome students have the opportunity to use key skills such as 'managing information and thinking' - students have the opportunity to explore their curiosity surrounding space and also gathering information and reviewing it. 
another key skill which they can develop is 'being creative' students can explore their creative side when making projects on chosen celestial objects. 
another important key skill which will be explored during the teaching of this learning outcome will be working with others - students will use more group work for example the jigsaw method which showcases the importance of working with others and listening to them.]]> 2020-05-07 11:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557165956 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557225152 this is a lesson plan which can be used for this specific learning outcome, it explores various celestial objects and incorporates key skills along with new teaching strategies like the jigsaw method.]]> 2020-05-07 12:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557225152 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557822403 2020-05-07 15:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557822403 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557826480 2020-05-07 15:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557826480 18238742 https://padlet.com/18238742/b0op5au89x9y1v35/wish/557837339 here is a worksheet which I found online which relates to planets and their orbiting of the sun.
