Learning about life in Space!!

This week was an incredible one for the Canadian Space Agency.  The world was entertained and educated by Commander Chris Hadfield and his posts from the International Space Station.  We watched the first ever music video filmed in space, Commander Chris Hadfield's version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity".  The children were fascinated by this.  We watched several other videos that were posted on You Tube about what life is like in space.  Next week we are going to build our very own rockets and launch them! Stay tuned for that adventure!!

We used our Smartboard to watch videos about Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.


After we watched the videos we shared what we liked about the videos. The children were intrigued by weightlessness and we discussed gravity, and that in space, there is no gravity.
