Space Science – Preschool

Space Science – Preschool

🚀 Preschool & Early Learning

Space Science: Out of This World!

An astronomical adventure for ages 3 to 5!

Kids will have a blast as they learn about our solar system, mini rockets, and more! Designed to prepare early learners for school-based Physical Phenomena, this fun workshop is designed to inspire curiosity about our place in space. It’s the perfect launchpad for budding little scientists!

What we explore:

  • 🪐 Solar System: Discovering our neighbouring planets.
  • 🚀 Rocketry: Learning what makes a rocket zoom into the sky.
  • Stars & Light: Investigating the wonders of the night sky.
  • 🌍 Our Place: Understanding Earth’s position in the galaxy.

✨ Space for Early Learners

Visual and sensory-based learning is the key to understanding abstract concepts like space. Led by a Churchill Fellow, our team brings the galaxy to your classroom with age-appropriate demonstrations.

Early Years Learning Framework Learning Outcomes

  • 1.2 Develop emerging autonomy, interdependence, resilience and sense of agency
  • 4.1 Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity.
  • 4.2 Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem-solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating.
  • 4.3 Children transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another.
  • 4.4 Children resource their own learning through connecting with people, place, technologies and natural and processed materials.
  • 5.1 Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes.

Victorian Curriculum

  • Objects and parts of the world around us have names and particular characteristics (VCSSU021)
  • Science is about exploring the world around me (VCSSU031)
  • Objects can move in different ways (VCSSU025)
  • Supported to engage in simple scientific inquiry (VCSIS026)
  • Make links between observations and findings (VCSIS029)
  • Actively join in exploration of familiar objects and events (VCSIS036)
  • Use both general terms and simple, scientific vocabulary to begin to describe their activities and observations (VCSIS040)

Space can be an abstract concept, so we bring it down to Earth using multisensory, play-based learning. This workshop is designed to support EYLF Outcome 4, fostering curiosity and scientific inquiry. Through large-scale visual modelling and interactive storytelling, your children will explore the foundational principles of astronomy and physics.

Learning Concepts:

  • Scale & Size: Using 3D models to understand the size differences of the Sun and planets.
  • Cycles & Change: Exploring cause and effect through the spin and tilt of our Earth.
  • Forces in Motion: Investigating push and pull forces via high-energy rocket launches.
  • The Airless Void: Sensory predictions about what happens in a vacuum.

Inquiry Skills Built:

  • Observing: Making links between visual findings and the world around them.
  • Predicting: Hypothesising outcomes before a “messy science” demonstration.
  • Spatial Awareness: Mapping our place in the galaxy through movement.
  • Scientific Vocabulary: Introducing terms like orbit, vacuum, and gravity.

“A fantastic way to ignite curiosity! It opened their minds to the universe beyond our planet while helping them appreciate the uniqueness of Earth.”

Duration

Perfectly paced for 3–5 year olds, combining immersive demonstrations and child-led exploration during the interactive 60 minutes.
