Interactive Space Display

Interactive Space Display

(0)
This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’ Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse. Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt). Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets. Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7. Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’ Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
