I hadn't thought of that and it so happens I plan on building a "Space camp" week for Adrian this summer since he loved Outer Space week so much. I'm glad you stopped by! Sharing is definitely great! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286098109706338772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145288861226756862.post-44069804520189334772013-04-18T05:51:22.434-07:002013-04-18T05:51:22.434-07:00We are just(still) finishing a home ed project on ...We are just(still) finishing a home ed project on space. I say just because they always want to know one more thing. I love the tempera and flour moon, we will do that. We did one with pastels to cover their lapbooks but this one is stunning. <br /><br />One of their favourite space science activities we did was to go to the beach and through meteors at the moon. I drew big circles in the sand and they collected different sized rocks and pebbles to throw. I gave them a circle in the wet sand, the drier sand and the really dry sand that was more like the moons surface. We took lots of pictures and noted their observations. <br />My 5 year old boy was delighted to be encouraged to throw stones, really, he is usually encouraged not to throw stones!! <br /><br />They discovered you get different shapes with different size stones and if they threw them from a different direction. It was very simple and it you don't happen to have a beach on hand you could do this in a sand pit or I have seen it done with flour and marbles.<br /><br />This sparked an interest in geology which will be our next topic.

I looked long and large for exciting space activities and couldn't find much that tickled my fancy for Pre-K children so I just brainstormed a bit harder and came up with a good variety that suited our needs and likes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286098109706338772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145288861226756862.post-45643127590072354362013-01-28T20:34:56.150-08:002013-01-28T20:34:56.150-08:00I am so excited to try these in our upcoming space...I am so excited to try these in our upcoming space unit!Jen Benoit Tutor Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274727317041778648noreply@blogger.com
