After the astronomy lessons, a class made a PowerPoint presentation.Divided into three groups, the Subaru team, the Lunatici team and the Galattici team and helped by their teacher, they used their notes and the internet to carry out three researches on the following topics: the moon, galaxies, nebulae.They also made the designs that accompanied the slides by hand.The works were saved on a USB stick and sent to the families.
The classes involved in the project enthusiastically participated in a series of meetings with a local expert, Luca Perosino. During the lessons, the children learned about the planets of the Solar System, galaxies, nebulae, black holes and some elements of the deep sky. Experimentally, a class created a Power Point presentation, examining three themes: the Moon, galaxies and nebulae.
The activity began with an open question addressed to the class: “What is a logo?”. After some interventions by the children, the teacher showed them some logos on the IWB, to be able to observe all the characteristics that distinguish them, commenting on them in a debate.
Then the teacher asked the students to sit in a circle and posed another question to the class: “Let’s imagine that an airline company asks us to create a logo, how could we do it?”.
After everyone sat in a circle and contributed with his ideas .
Then the teacher prepared a card showing four hypothetical logos.
At the end one logo was chosen to represent “the company”of the project and played large on a billboard.
