Abstract | Children can see the Moon with the naked eye and often are curious about the Moon and other objects in the sky, like the Sun and the stars. However, there is sometimes disagreement in early childhood about whether studying space is appropriate for young children. This activities described in this article engaged children who had different learning preferences. Some children adored a creative make-your-own constellation, while others were drawn to a crater science investigation. In this article, the authors introduce a space science study--starting with how children's interests were at the core--outlining interdisciplinary links and including a detailed description of the making Moon craters activity. This study of space took place in a prekindergarten classroom with children ranging from 3 to 5 years of age, but could easily be adapted for older children. The lessons were part of a thematic unit on outer space that developed after the class had learned about weather. (ERIC). |
