EASTERSIDE ACADEMY Year 5 and 6 – What is it like out there? Autumn 1 (Cycle 2) Memorable Compass Adventure – camping experience / Camp fire and star gazing at night – constellations
Experience
National Curriculum PoS – Science Earth and Space (Y5) describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies (Y5) use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. (Y5) describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system (Y5) describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth Forces (Y5) explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object National Curriculum PoS – Art Pupils should be taught: - To improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials (for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay) - About great artists, architects and designers in history. National Curriculum PoS – History A study of an aspect or theme in British history that extends pupils’ chronological knowledge beyond 1066 Connect KS1 – What’s in space? Earth (space) linked to seasonal changes Y1 and 2 topic: What’s in Space? - Planets/ solar system KS1 – links to learning – 20th Century – Space Age – local astronaut (Saltburn) Dr Nicholas Patrick / Apollo 11 astronauts Key Concepts History - Understand chronology Art - Master techniques-painting Science - Understand the Earths movement in Spa Science- Understand movement, forces and magnets Declarative Knowledge – Science The Earth, Sun and Moon are approximately spherical bodies. This is a result of gravity. Centrifugal force: a force created during a spin that pulls from the centre of the object. The Earth rotates in an anti-clockwise direction on its axis (an imaginary pole through the centre of the Earth) When the Earth rotates away from the Sun, it becomes night and when the Earth rotates towards the Sun, it becomes day It takes the Earth 24 hours to complete one full rotation The Earth has 24 different time zones – one for each hour of the day The Earth’s orbit around the Sun is how we measure days, months and years Earth takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation (responsible for day and night) and 365.25 days to orbit the Sun (responsible for the seasons) It takes about a month (28 days) for the Moon orbit the Earth The Sun is a star (a ball of gas) and is the centre of our Solar System The Earth is one of 8 planets in the solar system – all of which orbit the Sun (heliocentric model). The order of planets from closest to farthest from the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune Each planet takes a different amount of time to orbit the Sun The Earth takes 365.25 days to orbit
Declarative Knowledge – Art Space Art: a modern artistic expression that strives to show the wonders of the Universe. Focus Artist: Constellations painted by Joan Miró, 1941. Some figures identifiable as constellations: eg. fish represents Pisces. Use of geometric shapes and irregular forms, linked with free-flowing lines represents constellations. The Starry Night painted by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889 The Starry Night is an oil on canvas by the Dutch postimpressionist painter. It describes the view from the east-facing window of a room at Saint-Rémyde-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an ideal village. Constellation Drawings by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, 1924 Constellations drawings are a series of sketches by Pablo Picasso drawn on sixteen pages of a notebook. For these small drawings in black pen and ink, Picasso took inspiration from gazing at the night sky. Black dots are connected by thin lines to produce different kinds of figures, some geometrically controlled and others more leaning toward a free composition – which
Declarative Knowledge – History Space Age began - October 4, 1957 launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union. First man made satellite, orbiting the Earth in 98.1 minutes and weighing 83 kg (183 lb). 28th May 1959 first creature returns alive from space. Two monkeys were launched into space on a Jupiter missile. 12th April 1961- The first man in space. USSR sent Yuri Gagarin into space from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, in a Vostok spacecraft. He made a single orbit of Earth in 108 minutes, travelling at more than 17,000 miles per hour. 16th June 1963- the first woman in space. Valentina Tereshkova, a former textile worker, became the first woman to be launched into space by the Soviet Union. 18th March 1965 - first ever space walk. Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov - from the two-man Voskhod spacecraft. Leonov's suit expanded minutes after stepping into space due to the zero-pressure conditions 20th July 1960- First man on the moon - American Neil Armstrong – Apollo 11 19th April 1971- the first space station is launched. Russia launched Salyut, The first crew to dock with the orbiting outpost later die during re-entry when the air leaks out of their Soyuz capsule. 7th February 1984- free flying in space. Bruce McCandless became the first person to do a spacewalk without being attached to the spacecraft. He tested a manned manoeuvring unit, which allowed him to travel away from the orbiter, during a 90minute spacewalk. In the United States, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 28th Jan 1986 resulted in a significant decline in manned Shuttle launches. NASA grounded all Shuttles for safety concerns until 1988. 1990s funding for space-related programs fell sharply
Outcome: Create a piece of art work to represent the solar system to be displayed in an Art Gallery
