The past two weeks were all about Space in Grade 7! We had an amazing virtual field trip with the remarkable role model and brilliant scientist, Laurie Rousseau Nepton. Her research on the interconnections between Indigenous knowledge and our understanding of the night sky was and inspiration. We also went on a virtual field trip to the Cleveland museum of natural history for an incredible journey through our solar system - a humbling experience! Students completed presentations on our solar system using art, technology and orbiting Ozobots. We turned the library into a mini planetarium, worked on some galaxy watercolour paintings, 3D printed NASA models, and spent a few early mornings looking at our beautiful night sky.
