National Space Day1 May 2020 (by admin) |
Today it is National Space Day! It is a day dedicated to the achievements, benefits and opportunities in the exploration and use of space.
The goal of the observance is to promote math, science, technology, and engineering education in young people. The hope is to inspire them to pursue a career in science, especially a career in space-related jobs.
Here are some useful links you could use as part of your home learning today. Key Stage 1 explains day and night and KS2 explains the Solar System.
You could also try stargazing tonight or over the weekend. With less pollution in the air recently, the night sky has been beautiful and clear. Use the picture below to see how many constellations you can spot!
