Comments on this Resource

One of the overall curriculum expectations is satisfied by the materials (i.e. scientific advances that enable humans to study space). I expect that the material will be of high interest to my students. With regards to the accuracy of the background information, I can't really comment on that. I trust that it is accurate, but do not have the knowledge to verify it. The student assignments allow for hands-on activities that will challenge students to ask questions. The teacher instructions are quite clear. The rubrics are consistent with provincial policy. The materials are very user friendly. I will utilize only components of the resource, since it is quite lengthy, and satisfies only one component of the curriculum expectations. Overall, this resource will be an excellent addition to my unit on Earth and Space Systems: Space.

"Why An Orbiting Laboratory"? What a phenomenal science unit for grades 5,6 and 7. This unit focuses on research in a microgravity environment. This unit covers all the curriculum expectations for the TCDSB if teachers are doing a unit on space. If you print it, you do not even need a computer.
