An introduction to Space. This lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the Power Point) and a student lesson handout as a word document. The Power Point is fun and applicable with FOUR videos embedded into the Power Point. Designed for Middle/Secondary classes but can easily be adapted to fit an Elementary classroom.

Included in the lesson package is:

– The teacher version of the Power Point
– The student version of the Power Point
– FOUR videos embedded into the Power Point
– Student lesson handout

In order, the lesson covers:
– The hugeness of Space
– Distances in Space
– Astronomical Units
– Light Years
– The vast number of stars
– Space facts
– Voyager 1
– Space travel

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
