Give FeedbackINTEGRATION OF CURRICULUM
The integrated approach of curriculum in this unit shows interfacing of academic disciplines in various ways. Mathematics is used in measurement, Geography in location and movement, Art in creativity of the student’s models, various sciences for whatever is relevant, and social sciences for cooperative caring, sharing and learning together. Hands on experiences give various ability level children opportunities to hypothesize, experiment, and record observational data in cooperative groups. A logical knowledge base is built based on brainstorming, that is sharing of ideas. These techniques are realized throughout the unit lessons. They will help students answer some questions of the astronomical mysteries. The answers, however, will lead to more questions and so on as exploration and discovery of the vast Universe and Solar System continues.
