This is Lesson 4 on Day 5 in the Teaching Alive Theme 5 unit aimed at ages 9-11 (Year 5 & Year 6 in England and Wales). In this lesson we firstly introduce circle time rules, swap places and then view animations and pictures to highlight the challenges of living in space for an extended time. We then use circle time and a firework analogy to discuss reactions when people’s fuses are getting smaller (losing their temper), reactions when people explode (they lose their temper) and how to calm people before they explode (throw a bucket of water on the fuse). Fast finishers are asked to create pop art using a reaction and a circle time game ‘Iggildibiggldi…’ is used to finish the session as a plenary.
Please note, this project contains example videos and animations for school use only.
