Instructional Ideas

• Have the video ready to play in full screen prior to learners enter the classroom to avoid seeing inappropriate comments or related video suggestions 
• Display finished products at Open House or Back-to-School Night 
• Direct pupils to keep their moon puzzle in an envelope, allow them to play when they finish a task early

Classroom Considerations

• Video begins with a short ad 
• Requires a variety of craft materials 
• Duration reflects the amount of time to complete the video, not the activity 
• First resource in a series of 18 astronomy and space videos

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• A puppet side-kick and a colorful studio enhance visual engagement 
• Encourages hands-on participation and learning through play

Cons

• The host speaks quickly—enable closed captioning, or pause and rewind as needed
