This 20-page ressource will have your students researching Canadian astronauts and astronomers with a series of projects and activities.
In this ressource, you will find:
- Elaborate success criteria and project description.
- Detailed rubric with 4 levels of success.
- A Web-Quest with simple questions and an answer key.
- Cut-out cards with 16 well-known Canadian astronauts and astronomers (your students might pick from a hat or you might prefer to pass them out).
- Detailed informative cheat-sheets I've created for each of those astronauts and astronomers for you to verify their responses (and to avoid you having to look!)
- A self-evaluative task including reflexive questions and self-grading activities.
- A written comprehension piece with questions and an answer key on the history of Canadians in space including important dates, names, missions and events in Canadian space history.
- Graphic organizers to prompt students to verify their sources of information and to keep track of their information.
This set of activities is great to leave with a substitute teacher as it could realistically take 2-3 days and includes ample supportive pieces to allow for an easy sub plan.
For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
