Instructional Ideas

- Direct learners to take notes, write questions, then draft a summary
- Have the video ready to play in full-screen mode to avoid class members seeing inappropriate comments or suggested videos
Classroom Considerations
- An ad pops up short after you start the video
- The video is the 17th resource in a series 18 designed to inform viewers on space and astronomy
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Encourages pupils to explore space and astronomy further
