EYFS and KS1
EYFS and KS1 Project IdeasYounger participants should be encouraged to share their learning in a manner that is most accessible to them. This could be a poster, video, or a model. We strongly encourage the involvement of parents and carers as well as the use of photographs to communicate what was done to complete the project. A great starting place could be reading a space-themed picture book, there are some suggestions below along with some inspiration project ideas to get you started.
|
PlanetsYou could learn about planets and model the Solar System. the Ogden Trust have some resources that might help to get you started: Solar System in my Pocket and Playdough Planets.
|
RocketsYou could build and test rockets. The BBC have a video telling you how to make a bottle rocket and NASA have instructions on how to make a Straw Rocket.
|
CratersYou could investigate craters on the Moon. Science Sparks tell you how to investigate craters in your kitchen and perhaps you could keep a Moon diary.
|
The MoonYou could learn about how humans visited the Moon. The Ogden Trust have some useful Research Cards you could use and the BBC Newsround have a really interesting video and news story to get you started.
|
CometsYou could learn about how we landed on a comet. ESA's Once upon a time animations tell the story of Rosetta's amazing expedition to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
|
Looking for lifeYou could learn about the search for extraterrestrial life. You could start with ESA's paxi videos Do Martians exist? and Paxi explores Exoplanets!
|
StarsYou could learn about the stars and constellations. You could make a model or a constellation projector.
|
The SunYou could learn about our Sun. There is a great section on NASA's Space Place website all about our Sun with lots of project ideas.
