Overview: The solar system comes alive in “Space School Musical,” a video series that introduces the planets, moons, asteroids, meteors and more through songs and dance routines. Students watch the videos, learn the songs, do the activities and perform the show themselves.
Call the Educator Resource Center at 818-393-5917 to reserve your spot.
After the workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Show the musical DVD to their students, which stands alone as a basis for engaging learning and discussion opportunities.
- Lead their students in lessons from the activity guide they will receive, reinforcing the learning concepts in the songs through academic, art, fitness and life-skills activities.
- Lead their students in putting on their own production of the musical, allowing students to express their creativity in a variety of ways.
This activity uses arts-based learning to engage students in planetary science through music, art and physical activity. Students' understanding of the content is deepened through activities that encourage creativity, critical thinking, decision-making skills, collaboration and communication.
The Space School Musical video series and activity is also available online, here.
