WS18 Shaping the Big Sun

The purpose of this activity is for pupils to create a big Sun with dramatic solar features and to examine the Solar System and space within the context of plans for solar 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 within a larger project. It is particularly suitable for ages 8-13 years old. This is an ideal format to introduce the children to careers in science and the arts.
