Engage your students in project-based learning!

The boundless, mysterious, and largely unexplored void that is known as Space has fascinated human beings for thousands of years. From The Big Bang to the possibility of life on Europa (a moon of Jupiter), what we learn about our universe helps us understand our place within it.

For this project, students complete 12 activities related to Space (The Big Bang, The Universe, Nebulae, Stars, Galaxies, Black Holes, The Solar System, Planets, The Sun, Meteors & Comets) and construct a 12-sided polyhedron called a Dodecahedron to showcase their learning. These can be hung from the ceiling and are beautiful on display.

For each pentagon, students are asked to answer the guiding questions and complete the challenges through conducting research. To communicate their learning, students write and draw pictures within each pentagon. After completing the 12 pentagons, students follow step-by-step instructions to construct their dodecahedrons.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.

Thanks so much,
