What would your community like to learn about space? Have your students question their friends and family about what they would like to learn about. Then have your class plan an event, with fun and educational activities and help answer the questions their community has!
Share what your students have been learning about with a tour of a virtual museum. Invite their friends and family to take a look at the variety of work they have done and the science behind it all. This community activity could also be done as a VR experience.
Ask the experts anything! A multi-platform approach to a “meet the researcher” format, where students are introduced to the work of a number of researchers from multiple fields. With video introductions shared with the school and over social media, followed by either an in-house or online presentation, with a QnA, where pupils can ask the experts anything, and the experts try and provide answers. This activity is done in class and conducted over multiple lessons.
Introduce your class to an expert and give your students the freedom to ask the experts questions on what they find most interesting about the guests' careers. Afterwards, the students work in groups to develop their own classroom activity on a specific aspect of the discussion and let them share what they have learnt with a different group of students. This is a classroom activity, which can be extended over a number of lessons and can incorporate different age groups and subjects.
