Fit the Moon in one card:three “S” to communicate with children
Simplicity, Synthesis, Stylistics
20thJuly 1969, the first man put foot on the Moon. True or false?
True! Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the lunar surface aboard the "Eagle", a small half that broke away from the artificial satellite "mother" Apollo 11, which had brought them from the Earth to the Moon.
Have you ever seen… a surfer on the Moon?
The challenge:
strike a balance
between
entertainment and
education of
astronomy
Some lessons learned…
• different media to communicate with children
• the possible tradeoff between education and entertainment
• observation: the best “tool” to bring children closer to astronomy
