Solar System Walk
Create planets and walk the solar system in this fun and interactive activity meant to give students a better idea of the relative sizes of planets and distance in our solar system. Great for a fun activity with younger students and older students. Helps to teach large numbers and planet order. Helps us understand Earth's place in the solar system. A roughly half-mile walk can take you from the Sun to Pluto, if you scale down the distances enough. In this model, 1 inch equals 100,000 miles.

Outdoor Education videos while in Isolation for Covid-19
Hi, I thought I would share my ideas for Outdoor Education for primary students while we are all in lockdown in our homes. I call it Isolation Outdoor Education. I just made some simple videos of things that I thought were interesting around my backyard. My idea is to encourage children to open up their eyes, and get excited about the many things that can be found outdoors near their own homes. I am happy if I can even encourage them to look out a window once in a while! Here is a link to YouTub
