Building on ideas explored in artworks from the Earth and Sky space stories section, students learn about or review what they already know about the solar system. Students create a performance demonstrating the motion of the solar system.
Students collaboratively research large-scale geological processes on Earth.
They create an artwork drawing inspiration from dramatic artworks in the Landscapes and Spacescapes space stories section. Students read or view the classic book and film Powers of Ten and explore images and artworks from the Art and Space section. They explore how scale and distance change the way a place looks. They study satellite photos and create a triptych that shows their home from three different perspectives. Cumulatively, these three activities will allow students to explore ideas about the sky, the Earth, and space exploration.
