OUTER SPACE DANCE
Learning objective: Year three student's will gain the ability to represent and communicate their ideas and findings about space in a variety of ways, such as physically, visually and written.
Details of the task: Students should each be given a page of lyrics to the high five song, 'hi five kids to outer space' to stick into their work books and their task is to define each of the highlighted words in red. Once students have finished defining the space terms they must complete the worksheet that is a match up activity, to learn which planets are closest to the sun. As a challenge students may use the class set of iPads, computers or laptops to find out the size of each of the planets and the sun and write it on the worksheet. Finally to end the lesson on a positive fun activity students can watch the video to hi five base to outer space and copy the dance moves whilst subconsciously reflecting on the terms they just learnt.
Expected areas of learning: this task works within the curriculum areas of literacy, science, dance, ICT and music. It is a very arts rich activity that integrates many different subjects.
Assessment: The work can be assessed by collecting the workbooks and seeing if students correctly defined the terms and placed the planets in the right order with correct size. Teachers can also evaluate the students level of engagement in the dance by viewing if they are participating. Teachers may also assess the students ICT capabilities by observing if they could research the size of the planets and the sun.
