We have been investigating space technology including satellites, space probes and telescopes. Today our topic was rockets. To introduce the topic, we made a quick, easy rocket timeline.
To start, students drew an outline
Next, we watched a 5 minute video clip - Rockets 101 | National Geographic and filled in part of the timeline.
To fill in the rest of the timeline, students read – A Pictorial History of Rockets
To wrap up, we discussed the similarities and differences between early and modern rockets and how technology has changed how we explore space.
This can be adapted for a learning management system (LMS) by making it a drag and drop Google/One Drive assignment.
I did it informally today, my distance learners followed along with us on Zoom. I used a document camera and students responded in the conference chat.
