The link here is that as we study EAS8 we need to understand what celestial objects are in order to understand why we explore space.

PowerPoints are a fantastic resource to enhance engagement and wonder within our students. It is a great teaching aid which allows one to use both visuals and word prompts as a basis for explanation. Rather than a teacher 'lecturing' at the top of the class it is a point of focus for students engaging multiple learning styles.

Students will have discussion as well as debates about the various content involved in this LO.

When students acquire this skill, they begin to foster curiosity in the unknown. They begin to think critically and creatively, evaluating new information at base level. This is important for these students when researching about space exploration, that the information found is coming from reliable sources.]]> 2021-05-07 10:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501719190 Key skill- Working with Others 19244428 https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501731928 This key skill is another essential skill in every classroom. When planning for my classes, I want my students to be supportive of each others learning, willing to help and give one another the drive to reach one's potential. Working with others allows each student to escape from their own head for a minute and gain insight into topics from a different point of view. Often times through group tasks/discussion student will learn more than listening to the teacher.]]> 2021-05-07 10:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501731928 Key Principle - Inclusive Education 19244428 https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501742835 As part of my teaching philosophy I aim to make my classroom as inclusive as possible. I believe all students should be treated fairly and given the same opportunities no matter their attitude or academic level. This is why differentiation is such an important tool in teaching today. It allows a teacher to provide work and content through different approaches to reach the whole class rather a few. In order to do this we must be open to getting to know our students and their needs.]]> 2021-05-07 10:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501742835 Paper 1- Teaching the Experiments of the International Space Station by using the POE Strategy to Develop Secondary School Students' Attitudes towards Space Exploration and Their Scientific Explanations 19244428 https://padlet.com/19244428/f8rs90jxpadnpw8s/wish/1501782165 This article talk about the lack of space science education as well as the negative attitude towards it in secondary schools.
