Space topic planning - 6 editable lessons

This is a set of 6 lesson space plans with objectives and links. They are in a word document so fully editable so you can alter or reformat them.

All supporting resources marked in the planning are available to download from the Reading Riddle website (including a space timeline activity, powerpoint about satellites and space wordmat).

The lessons cover:
What is space?
A timeline of space achievement.
What does it take to be an astronaut/cosmonaut?
Designing a spacesuit and how design has changed over time.
Our Solar System - what have we discovered and what will happen in the future?

The lessons link to Vlad and the Space Race, which is part of the Vlad flea history picture books. You can use them without this book but the reason I wrote it was to bring history into the classroom through historically accurate stories as I believe that engages the children.

For further information about the books, school visits and resources visit the website.
