The purpose of this activity is for pupils to create original art ‘pop-up’ cards about the Sun or Solar System within the context of space exploration. The aim is to enable a greater understanding of space science by using art and craft techniques and literacy. The links provided can also be used for story writing, poetry, performance, maths and IT sessions. It is particularly suitable for ages 8-10 years old. This activity can be applied to many other science topics.
