One of my favourite units when I was a student was the grade six sky science unit. Now that unit is one of my favourite ones to teach. For today's blog post I created a lesson plan that combines problem-solving through coding on the website Scratch and exploring the implications of gravity in space. You can take a look at my lesson plan here.
"What happens when you burp in space?" lesson plan
While creating this lesson plan, I thought this lesson plan would be most ideal to hook students into the sky science unit. The sky science unit has no outcomes related to gravity; however, students can take their prior knowledge from the air and aerodynamics unit and integrate it into the sky science unit through this lesson. I also think that it would be interesting to use this lesson plan in a classroom that is teaching students about their bodily functions. We all know that our students love to laugh when another students release their gas, so this lesson could introduce normalizing our bodily functions in a fun way. If you have any other ideas on how you would utilize this lesson plan, please leave them in the comments below!
