Space Poster The primary school students found out that we are studying space. They asked the following questions: What causes day/night? What causes the seasons to change? What causes the Northern Lights? Why does the moon change phases? What is a black hole? What is a shooting star? Your Task • Work in groups of 2-4 • Create a poster (on a piece of chart paper) to explain the answer to one of the primary school students’ questions Assessment What should your poster include? •
