ESERO Ireland: Teach with Rosetta
In March 2004, ESA’s Rosetta mission started its 10-year interplanetary trip towards a historic encounter with a comet. Since then, the whole world has been holding its breath and waiting for unprecedented events in the history of space exploration: a spacecraft following a comet at close range while it is heading towards the inner Solar System where it will release a lander hopefully discovering the secrets of the formation of the Solar System itself.
Teach with Rosetta is an exciting new online resource providing primary school teachers with materials that use space, Rosetta, and comets as a context for teaching various subjects including science, reading, writing, comprehension, art and design. This section will be progressively populated with new lessons during 2014 and 2015.
Resources include a ‘cut out and build’ model of Rosetta and an activity book that can be downloaded and includes solar system mobiles and memory games. There are also videos and a facility to track Rosetta’s progress. Why not take a look.
