Space lessons

In this blog you will see a journey being taken by students and teacher to build up our minds, muscles and imaginations together through inquiry, exploration, investigation, problem solving and teamwork!

This week I am listing my ten favorite Science and Social Studies pins. I really enjoy teaching Science and I am so grateful that our district provides us with so many great resources. We no longer have textbooks for Science in elementary school so I am always on the lookout for some fun and educational activities.

With 180 lessons in our online catalog, you can explore Earth and space with us all year long. We show you how with this handy NASA-JPL school year calendar. To celebrate and help you make the year ahead stellar, we've put together a monthly calendar of upcoming NASA events along with links to our related lessons, Teachable Moments articles, and student projects you can use to engage students in STEM while they explore Earth and space with us all year long!

Welcome to Room 36! Can, have, are charts for Science

Here at Science Sparks, we love anything space related, especially rockets! This baking soda rocket is one of our favourites, as it's super easy to set up

I love when we can make learning fun. Play-based learning is effective because kids are enjoying what they are doing. I really believe that kids will spend longer amounts of time focused on an activity, and therefore learning, if they are having fun. These astronomy games are a fun way to learn.

Teach kids about space with this astronaut ice cream recipe! It's a fun addition to any space or astronomy lesson or when learning about astronauts.

Discover space art activities that explore the process of creating art, mixing colors, and having fun exploring art for your space theme!

This Space Science Lesson Unit will have your little learners shooting for the stars with excitement! Teach them all about space with this printable lesson!
