They can explore the planets through discovering each planet's speed, size, and distance from the sun. They can also compare and contrast planets to make observations, such as how the farther away a planet is from the sun, the fewer kilometres they travel per hour. ]]> 2023-08-01 01:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653870468 REACHing Out: Why Does Saturn Have Rings? sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653876421 This family-friendly podcast has a collection of varying space-related topics.

There is also information about other components in our galaxy, such as asteroids, moons, and space weather. ]]> 2023-08-01 02:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653880250 National Geographic Kids - Space Explorer Game sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653884617 In this game, students navigate their astronaut through obstacles to make it to safety. Once they have successfully collected some stars and made it to the finish line, they gain access to 6 facts about the planet that they are playing on. The challenge aspect of this game to collect enough stars is engaging and will have students aiming to gain enough stars to unlock the facts. ]]> 2023-08-01 02:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653884617 Solar Textures Collection sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653888437 These textures represent planetary maps in equirectangular projection (which means you are viewing the planet as if it was laid out flat just like our world maps). They can be used with 3D rendering, or opened in 2K or 8K quality to view on a screen or projector. You can also view textures of planets, maps of Earth, and view the Sun, the Moon, and stars. ]]> 2023-08-01 02:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653888437 Printable 3D Paper Models of Planets sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653890325 These models can be printed out and assembled to give students a 3D model of the different planets. They are more complex to assemble, so they can be assembled with or without students. This can easily be a cross-curricular lesson with geometry and 3D shapes. ]]> 2023-08-01 02:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653890325 Astronomy Poetry: Combining Poetry With the Content Areas sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653892423 This cross-curricular poetry unit connects astrology and components of outer space with the literacy skill of writing poetry.

The videos are relatively short and could be used as discussion topics/starting out points, or to introduce a lesson. Topics range from answering various questions about space, to discussion different components of the solar system like stars and comets.]]> 2023-08-01 02:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653897641 sarahbombardir https://padlet.com/sarahbombardir/lcpmqwmt6xsryq0l/wish/2653899070 Teacher (grade/subject) who will require these resources and for which purpose 
Grade 6 classroom teachers who will be teaching about space within the subject of science. 
Whether it is intended to accompany a collaborative lesson in the library or be used in the classroom, with or without teacher librarian support 
The flexibility of this collection allows the resources to be used both in the classroom and in the LLC. Classroom teachers can collaborate with the teacher librarian to double-up on support and perhaps do a guided inquiry together, or have the TL spearhead the inquiry on their own. 
Any other relevant considerations, such as which resources support differentiated learning, ELL learners, a variety of viewpoints, etc.
-The digital resources (those that students use online) can be used on either a Chromebook or tablet
-There is at least one resource that supports visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning
-Videos can be slowed down, as well as use subtitles for ELL students
-Plays to different strengths of students due to the cross-curricular nature of these resources
