Activities
A large number of suggested classroom activities are included in the "Classroom Activities" section in our free Educational Resource Kit,. Some have been organised around themes, while others are one-off activities that you might like to incorporate into topic plans of your own! If you would like to share your space activities with others, please contact me.
Additional Themes
Topics to be developed in the classroom, apart from all those suggested in the Educational Resource Kit.
CD-ROMs

Microsoft 's Encarta, a general encyclopedia, contains a section on space, with video clips too. It's very popular, so it's quite likely your school may already have a copy or one of your pupils could bring it from home to share with the rest of the class. |
