¡Despegue! Descubra los planetas con los jóvenes astronautas

In this series, learners will learn about each planet in our solar system. For each session, we’ll cover fun and age-appropriate facts about one planet, such as its appearance, surface features, atmosphere, temperature, and unique characteristics. By the end of the course, learner will understand basic solar system concepts and be able to recognize and describe each planet.

Each class follows a consistent, engaging structure:

Introduction and Welcome (3 minutes): Greet learners and introduce the planet of the week.
Planet Exploration (10 minutes): Present the planet’s key features, using visuals to show its unique look and characteristics.
Interactive Activity (5 minutes): Learners will create a drawing of the planet, adding details we discussed (like Saturn’s rings or Mars’ red color).
Wrap-Up (2 minutes): Review what we learned and say our goodbyes.

I’ll use bright, engaging slides with simple visuals to capture each planet's characteristics. Teaching will be interactive, with questions sprinkled throughout to encourage curiosity (e.g., “What color do you think Mars is?”). Learners will participate in drawing activities each week, allowing them to creatively express what they learned.

My teaching style is warm, playful, and highly interactive. I encourage participation by asking questions, using engaging visuals, and inviting learners to share their thoughts. I aim to make the learning experience fun and positive, so young learners feel excited and comfortable as they explore space concepts.

Learner interaction is a key part of each class! Here’s how:

Question Prompts: I’ll ask questions throughout the session to encourage learner input and keep them engaged.
Drawing Activity: During each drawing session, I’ll interact with learners by commenting on their work and encouraging them to share if they’d like.
Discussion: The class includes light discussion moments, allowing learners to share what they think and ask questions about the planet of the week.
