Report on the Results:
The activity was a successful one. Children were excited to found interesting things about the Solar System and the plantes from documentary. They put a lot of questions about simple science experiments realized in the documentary (the temperature on each planet, the distance between planets and the Sun, the first spaceflight, the gravitation). They enjoyed to imagine what they can do if they live on a planet (read, play, construct spatial robots, travelling from a planet to another one). The game”Move your planet!” was a funny moment, because they have to run quickly to find their places on the orbit and to move around the child who had the role of the Sun. It was their idea to make little drawings with Solar System at the end of the activity. This activity was publicized in the local media: http://www.magazinsalajean.ro/invatamant/elevii-de-la-mihai-eminescu-au-marcat-saptamana-mondiala-a-spatiului-cosmic.html
