The Astronomy Odyssey Activity began with younger students exploring space concepts through visual aids and demonstrations. Students learned about key astronomical terms including nebula, galaxy, and black hole through interactive displays. This visual approach proved effective in enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of essential space-related concepts.
In the middle session, students participated in a dynamic Planet Song and Dance activity. Each participant selected a planet, created themed headgear and props to represent their choice, and performed a creative musical or dance presentation about their celestial body. This engaging approach enabled students to internalize important planetary facts through artistic ex
The final component involved the Planet Hop Game, where students researched and presented five facts about their chosen planet. Moving through various "planet stations," participants shared their findings with peers, creating an interactive learning environment. This collaborative exercise successfully combined research skills, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing, while reinforcing students' understanding of the solar system. Overall, the Astronomy Odyssey Activity achieved its goal of making space science both educational and enjoyable through diverse, hands-on learning experiences.
