I found this and I initially shared it with our Grade 5-6 teacher since they have a unit on space. He showed it to his class and they went wild over it.
After I heard that, I showed it to my class as well. They loved it. After letting them play on it for 15 minutes or so, I started asking them questions like:
- What is the most interesting thing on here for you?
- What is bigger, x or y?
- How many x's can you fit into one y?
- If the Saturn V rocket is about the size of a football field, how long would it take you to run the length of it?
Another great feature of this site is that you can click on the objects and a fact bubble will pop up with more information.
I am going to have a think about this to see how many more ways I can use this. I am sure I can think of some big questions to use with this site.
