Cultural life in conditions in a state of emergency situation must be continued. Therefore, an online excursion for students was realized and conducted.

A lesson in a museum is a great opportunity to put school knowledge into practice in an unusual space flight situation. And although the flight is not real yet, the students have to solve real problems.

It was the virtual tour of the National Museum of Cosmonautics named after S.P.Korolyova in Zhytomyr. This is the only one museum of cosmonautics in Ukraine.

The students imagined themselves as brave conquerors of space depths and walked under a huge spaceship, they looked in detail at the fragments of the meteorite, the lunar soil and got to know about food in tubes the astronauts took in their flight.

An interesting lesson using Mozaik Education resources was conducted for students of the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, which was the start of our activities in the “Space Is Our Future” project.

This lesson presents the most important milestones in the conquest of space. Each milestone is illustrated with 3D animations that help students understand the achievements. The lesson aims to get students familiarised with the physics of how rockets lift off by describing two experiments.

1.The idea of travelling into space

● Introducing the topic with the quotation from Socrates, briefly talking about Jules Verne’s novels, the spacecraft of Jules Verne’s characters. Is it possible to travel to space this way?

“Man must rise above Earth to the top of the atmosphere and beyond, for only then will he fully understand the world in which he lives” – Socrates.

Online activities introduce students to the history of domestic and world astronautics. With the help of STEM, children build, explore, and program space objects and plan flights to the stars.

In early March, I registered for a great course from the European school academy Aerospace in Class. During the course, I learned a lot of new, useful, and important information. Applying the course material, I developed a lesson plan and implemented it with the students at my school. The lessons involved students from Grade 5 to Grade 10.
