Well my twin DD6's grade 1 class is doing Space for the next 10 weeks at school. As extension work, they usually skip the generic homework and the teacher gets them to delve further into the terms topic. Last term it was dinosaurs, so they thrived with little weekly mini projects on dinosaurs, prehistoric periods, paleontology, evolution and just loved it. Space, however, is not a love of mine or theirs. 10 weeks = 20 weekly mini space projects for the two of them and we've discussed it and are stumped after a few. We need to be careful that the projects are extension work and not just covering the in class space topics of planets etc. Any tips? One daughter did have a good idea that she is currently working on--> preparing a space meal for an astronaut that is easily edible in zero gravity ( any tips on that one? Or others? Greatly appreciated)
