Person space is something that is very important for all students. While it comes naturally for most children, some require direct instruction using social stories. This social story focuses on personal space- who needs it and how to get it.

In this webisode we look at SpaceTime3D, RedZ, Search Cube, and Tag Galaxy as alternative visual search engines. They all offer slightly different things and make looking for pictures or resources online. more interactive and a more visual experience. This is a great resource to help enhance technology instruction and use in the classroom. (03:10)

Some of the visuals took this viewer's breath away. This is a 4.5 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to the wonders of Astronomy. There is no narration, but none is needed. It is designed as a "trailer" to be shown in classrooms by Earth Science and Astronomy teachers in High School and college as a visual "Introduction" to the magic of the cosmos. (04:46) This is a good way to introduce/hook students on the science of space exploration.

In this video Huckle and Lowly Worm learn about space shuttles. A space shuttle is a special plane that only astronauts can fly. Around the world they go working day and night and trying out experiments. They come back to Earth when their work is done. This is a great teaching resource for the elementary classroom and/or for special education students. It would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit on community helpers. Students will enjoy watching this video (01:06).

Aerostat — a lovely video of a balloon and video camera’s journey high enough to see space where it recorded an enviable sun flare shot — reminded me of this video shown above: Homemade Spacecraft/Space Balloon. Launched by a father and his seven year old in August, 2010, their homemade balloon and video camera set up (housed in a takeout container) also got to see the curve of the Earth, climbing 19 miles high before the balloon burst. It includes a bit more nitty gritty from their experiment, with lots of onscreen notes. Great stuff if you’re itchin’ to DIY with your own weather balloon, video camera and iPhone. (6:58)

This video was created as a plea to save the James Webb Space Telescope, but it is also a great introduction into why scientific thinking is important. It introduces past questions that have been answered by astronomy, as well as future questions that could arise, and why the scientific study of space is important. Excellent video to get kids to understand that a unit on astronomy is important. (01:33)

The invention of the telescope forever changed astronomy by allowing exploration of the universe in far greater detail than was possible with human eyes alone. Technological advances of the twentieth century, such as computers, rockets, and other scientific instruments — made even more detailed views of the universe possible. In this interactive timeline from NASA, follow the development of space exploration through history.

Here's another technique. A great number of people find it easier to see or find images in shapes rather than from lines. When drawing from line the mind often gets caught up in symbols, whereas when focusing on contour or silhouettes it does not. For this reason it's worthwhile to paint the space around a person or object. (6:36)
