Google Moon & the LCROSS Impact

Posted by Adrian on Oct-15-09

With the passing of the 40th anniversary of the first Moon Landing Google has added the Moon to Google Earth. So last night I added a few Moon Exploration Ideas to my website that you might like to explore.

I’m also looking forward to the LCROSS impact and data being added to the software in the coming weeks and months.

So how will you celebrate the current Moon missions with your class? Surely you can’t wait until they ‘DO SPACE’ in Yr 6! ;-)

cheers

PS The last few Tweets from the LCROSS spacecraft caused a small chuckle.

I have so, so, SO! been in love with the World Wide Telescope since it was announced at TED last year. You simply must download this magnificent software and get your students to explore it. So many discussions to be had! So much exploration to be done and so much ‘awe and wonder’ to be exploited. + I’ve just added a few creative teaching ideas to you might like to explore. Check out the World Wide Telescope!

Science Experiment – The Witch’s Brew

Science Experiment - Witch's Brew

Another lifetime ago I had a position in which I was charged with raising the profile of Science in local schools. Tonight I’ve started putting together a website with the science experiments, demonstrations and resources I used to switch students and teachers onto science education.

Science Links
Tonight I’ve been putting some of my bookmarked resources into a new Science Education page. I’ve used these sites in the past to help teachers and students realise there are an amazing amount of resources on the Internet that help foster the love of Science.

Feel free to let me know your favourite sites and I’ll put you in the draw to win this month’s prize.

NB I’ll be back again tomorrow night to finish the organisation, annotation & add a few more sites. Sleepy now :)
