- You can download a copy of my slides from the session here. This is a large file, so it may take time to download.

- Early years: it can often be quite hard to source suitable activities for P1/2 but the European Space Agency (ESA) have some really engaging animations and activities you can use in class.
- In particular they use a mascot called “Paxi” to explain different aspects of space, including comets and the solar system: http://www.esa.int/Education/Teach_with_Rosetta/Paxi_animations
- They have produced a “fun book” with pages to colour in and puzzles to complete: http://esamultimedia.esa.int/multimedia/publications/PaxiFunBook/
