P17: Virtual Field Trip to Galaxy (04/2021)

  • Virtual Field Trip to Galaxy- 3D Solar System Model
    By using Nasa-Earth Now apps students will explore the solar system.The students will have the chance to make a trip through galaxy to learn about the planetary neighbourhood from their classrooms with navigational apps.At the end of the activity, students will create 3D solar system models.Students will understand content more deeply and learn how to take responsibility and build confidence, solve problems, work
    collaboratively, communicate ideas, and be creative innovators.

    Virtual Trip to Galaxy is one of the desiring activities that our pupils looking forward to.3rd and 4rd grade students have taken part in the task.We started the activity by using the navigational application of Nasa .(Nasa Earth Now)It was quite fascinating for students to observe the solar system so closely, like a real navigation.They click on the planets to see how they actually look like and imagined how a new life can arise on one of them.

    After the navigation, they set on their work to create 3D solar system models.Because of the pandemic lock down they did some of the work at school and some at home.But in the end they succeed to create fantastic models.

    The goal of this task strictly corresponds to the science and art class curriculum .It also helps to gain self-confidence, responsibility and be creative.

    Students of the 3rd grade class of EB1/PE da Marinheira, Portugal, carried out an interdisciplinary work that involved their parents.

    In their classroom and in the ICT class, they introduced the theme, researched using various websites, with emphasis on Google Maps (especially the virtual visit to the International Space Station), watched videos and created slide shows.

    At home, together with their families, they created 3D models of the solar system that were later exposed at school on International Children's Day.

    It was an activity that the students were very pleased with because they showed a lot of interest and presented very imaginative works.
