As a part of the "Space Race," the Apollo

one giant leap for mankind." Several missions to the moon have been

Nicholaus
Copernicus
Nicholaus Copernicus was one of the first scientists
to make observations about outer space. He proposed that the Earth orbited the
Sun and that all of the planets orbited in a circular motion. Copernicus was
cautious to voice his opinions about space because he was an official at a
Polish Church, which was very strict about their beliefs.

Galileo Galilei
Love your blog background. Your map looks very outer spacey if that makes sense. I love the colors and pictures, very science like. You seemed like you knew a lot about your topic, just maybe speak a little louder!... Great work!
ReplyDeleteGood concept map
ReplyDeleteVery interesting
Teaches children about planets and stars.
Good for elementary students because it seems that all students try to do a science project on it
Very visual concept map. Without even reading the heading I can tell what you are teaching. I like the idea of teaching outer space becuase it is a very interesting topic and something you can do a lot with. The only thing I wold say is maybe talk a little louder.
ReplyDeleteGood map.. I actually like Space.Good facts bout each.
ReplyDeletevery colorful!! Kids usually want to learn about outer space...I think you let them make models of planets with different objects :)
ReplyDeleteI like the colors and pictures you chose for your concept map. I like how you didn't organize it in just one straight line because there really are so many components to outer space.
ReplyDeleteThis concept would be great for students grades 3-6th grade because you could go many different ways with this! You did a great job! There are so many projects you would be able to do with this topic! GOOD JOB!!
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about more than just the planets. I think kids and adults are amazed about outer space. You could teach this to anyone.
ReplyDeleteGood job! you knew what you were talking about. the writing is a little small and maybe speak a little louder so people in the back could hear you.
ReplyDeleteI like all the pictures, they are cute. the arrangement confuses me a little bit. I can definitely read it and understand, but concept maps are meant to make an easy to read lesson. Overall good job Ashton.
