🚀 Cosmic Question Circle

Students examine large photos and replica images of astronauts, rockets, Moon boots, satellites, GPS maps, and Earth images from space in a whole-class picture circle. They use gestures and sentence frames to share what they notice and what they think space exploration might change about life on Earth, then add one drawing or dictated idea to the first page of their Space Exploration Investigation Notebook. The teacher introduces the driving questions and the class challenge to create a museum-style exhibit board and gallery later in the project.
