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

– Student lesson handout
In order, the lesson covers:
– The hugeness of Space

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.
