Additional Activities – YOU MUST DO TWO OF THESE ACTIVITIES.
So far, 24 astronauts have visited the Moon. Find out their names, download pictures and record interesting facts about them.
Using non-fiction books and online research, find out the names of some of the best known star constellations. On a clear night, try to identify them. Draw diagrams of those you have spotted. Do you think the names they have been given suit them?
Design your own planet thinking about how it looks, its size, what it is made of, whether there are signs of life and so on. Draw it and label or annotate it with all the details.
