Year 5 are learning about Space in SCIL this term.
Students have investigated the solar system, compared different planets and pondered whether life can be sustained on other planets.
We have also been learning how to determine whether websites and sources are reliable, cross-check information against a third source and pose questions to help our research and understanding.
Some interesting 'big' questions Year 5 students have posed include:
- Can a star turn into a planet?
- How do you sleep in space?
- How long can a human wear a spacesuit for?
- Why do they need an explosion to get out of the Earth's atmosphere?
- What does the end of the universe look like?
- What is the purpose of space travel and why do people do it?
- Who will clean up our space junk?
We are looking forward to trying to answer some of these questions!
