https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c My thoughts on this course. I would love to hear yours. en-us 2016-09-10 07:54:17 UTC 2025-11-02 02:15:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/aws/129058947/1f03ad4eabf7c766ad3990c9ae5cfe53/ssp__51316_4_.jpg raquel_lopido https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122908879 Here is a start of something new for me, taking space related courses! Yes, I have been actively participating in course development of Space Science Program which is first in the Philippines, but never had any formal training in Astronomy or Space Science. I taught early childhood education and after school classes in Japan for five years and through my years of experience, I learned how students- young, and very young, respond to different approaches and teaching strategies. Now, I am currently based in the Philippines and I strongly support the advocacy of "Bringing the Universe Closer to the Filipinos". Through our work, we dream of bringing space science awareness among our countrymen and promote the benefits of having our own Space Agency.

Here is a link of some of our work that we would like to share to my course-mates .

I'M A LUNA KINDA GIRL
 Fly me to the MOON. That song probably got stuck in my head 'coz my parents always listened to Sunday's Best over the radio when I was growing up. Now that its part of what I do, I find MOON topics very dynamic. For lets say, Space Science and Astronomy beginners like the Philippines, captivating the interest of the general public, both young and old needs something that they can easily see through their naked eye, yet, more  fascinating under a high resolution telescope and even more exciting to have landed on. It also has direct effect on our lives and has a cultural impact from our ancestor's beliefs to present. Studying MOON topics can be achieved using history, art, movement, physics and the list goes on. Who can not love the moon? :)

Below is the image lifted from ECE Spacebook. We used the activity from UNAWE on Moon's impact craters and and modified it by transferring the image of the moon on a sticker paper. ]]> 2016-09-10 08:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122909288 raquel_lopido https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122910079 2016-09-10 08:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122910079 raquel_lopido https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122910112 2016-09-10 08:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/122910112 raquel_lopido https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/123686777 This module provided a good overview on the importance of IBSE (Inquiry Based Science Education) as a teaching method and how to adapt it in the classroom. First, we are given an assessment to determine what teaching style do we implement by taking the Self Reflection Activity.]]> 2016-09-14 08:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/123686777 raquel_lopido https://padlet.com/raquel_lopido/bg7sdk4l9m6c/wish/123689181 And this is what I got. I cant seem to figure out how to add multiple photos under one blog entry, so to keep up with the pace of my thoughts I'll just keep adding a new entry.
