Synopsis

This book is part of the Draw Your Own Encyclopaedia series of factual books for children aged six to twelve. It provides interesting introductions to a variety of different areas related to space exploration. This classroom edition is aimed at teachers and other educators (rather than at individual children, as is the case for the individual edition). It contains:

Eleven double-page spreads which explore a range of topics about space exploration that can be photocopied to create handouts for use in the classroom or as homework assignments. Each one contains an introductory question, a paragraph that explores its topic, questions to test your students comprehension of the contents of this paragraph, quick facts to provide additional information, and space for the student to add their own illustration for this topic.

A blank Draw Your Own Encyclopaedia double-page spread which you can photocopy and hand out to your students to allow them to create their own custom encyclopaedia entry based on a topic related to space exploration of their (or your) choice.

Two handouts which you can use to introduce mathematics into your lessons about space exploration. The first allows your students to work out how much food they would need to grow to support a colony on Mars, while the second allows them to calculate how long it would take a spacecraft to reach each of the different planets in our solar system.

A sixteen-question pop quiz that you can use to test your students knowledge about space exploration. All the information needed to answer these questions is contained in this book.

Links to additional background information about space exploration which you can use to increase your own knowledge of this subject.

Links to free online content, such as videos, related to the topics covered in this book that you can show to your students.

Ideas for six interactive and fun additional classroom activities.

Thus, taken together, the contents of this book provide you with all the information you need to teach your class all about space exploration in a fun and interesting way that integrates factual knowledge, reading comprehension, maths skills and practical demonstrations.

This book is part of the Draw Your Own Encyclopaedia series. Each individual book in this series forms a subject-specific chapter of the overall encyclopaedia. They are designed to encourage children to think about the world around them, and to learn how to search for information on the internet and from books, while having a little bit of fun!
