Aldersley High School Space Project - Day 1 - 15th May 2007
Year 8 students from Aldersley High School are attending the City Learning Centre over the next three days for a Space-themed project. Today, we learned about what space is, how far away it is, and the scale of distances in the Universe. We created and launched compressed-air-powered rockets, and learned about the history of space travel. In the afternoon, students created T-shirt designs featuring images of themselves floating inside the International Space Station and their own mission patches.
Students were introduced to the topics for their podcasts tomorrow; sample links have been set up at http://del.icio.us/clcresearch. Students will further research their topics tomorrow and add more links to del.icio.us, before planning and recording a podcast on their topic.
Images from Day 1 can be found in the gallery section of the website:
What the teacher sai:
A good range of activities that kept the students engaged and challenged. Good pace and range of stimuli used. Students engaged and completed challenging tasks enthusiastically.
