About Step 2

In Step 2, pupils will collect and process information about the sun and the solar system. Resources can be found in the forder "Step 2" in Materials. Collaborating pupils will perform science experiments and a theatrical adaptation of the book "Professor Astro Cat's solar system" by Dr Dominic Walliman & Ben Newman, to present in this page & in school community for dissemination of our project. Step 2 will be concluded in a collaborative presentation (using several tools such as mentimeter and webex) and an educational quiz to assess learning and create some healthy competition.
