Sequencing Space Science

Sequencing Space Science

        When I think about Space Science, I think about the planets, stars, and astronauts. That is exactly what I gathered while exploring the depths of space through reading the course text and my course experience. We conducted research to gather space-related articles. We constructed a list of space-related articles individually and we were instructed to find the most common words between our articles and the most common concept that we configured was space, stars, and astronauts. So, we decided to use astronauts as our topic for our project. 

         For our project, we were instructed to create a time line based on our topic of our choice. So, we created a time line based on the history of astronauts. We then conducted research to find important points in history where astronauts were involved. There has been a lot of times in history where astronauts were the highlight of events.

           The above picture is a snapshot of the time line that we created using Timecoast. This is an easy website to use and it's simple to understand how to work. Personally, I like how it looks. It seems dull with the inability to change the background, but I like how all of the tabs are close together, they state the date, and they show an image with the title for that tab. When you click on the tab, basic information can be posted in the description section of the tab. I would use Tiki Toki or Timecoast in my future classroom just to make the experience more intriguing. When I was in Elementary School, I remember how I didn't focus when my teachers used time lines because they looked boring with no pictures, just writing with years on the board. With the use of technology, I can bring time lines to life and I'm looking forward to that opportunity.
