Learning Tasks
Do Now: Write in your books how you would explain infinity?
Discuss the following questions based off the statement: To Infinity and Beyond.
What do you think this statement means? Aka how can you have beyond infinity?
What do you think our next topic will be about?
Complete the Google Form or write in your notebooks what you'd like to learn in our space topic.
What would you like to learn in this topic?
What do you NOT want to learn in this topic? (Aka, you find it boring or covered it loads already in intermediate/primary.)
Timeline Activity
Place the three event cards in chronological order (oldest on left, newest on right).
Check answers
Add the other cards into the timeline.
Add to the timeline, research an astronomy discovery and add a picture and statement of it to the Google Doc. Only share the date of the event with Ms Garlick.
Homework
What planets are in our solar system?
To cut down on printing, at the end of each lesson, Ms Garlick is going to ask a question. Take a picture of this question, research it at home, and write your answer on a piece of paper to glue into the back of your book for the next session.
This lesson took place Tuesday, May 21st, 2024, Term 2 Week 4 and that is when it was last updated.
Teacher Notes
Do Now - after you've talked about infinity, ask them if it's possible to have beyond?
Ideally for next time, I want to better plan out lessons 1 and 2 so they cut better. They're not well defined.
