Deep Space Daily

Deep Space Diary

Activity 6.1

Scientists from across the world use Webb to study objects in space, so that we can learn more about our home planet. But since we can’t all be space experts, we rely on scientific writers to provide a link between Webb’s discoveries and the community. Literacy and visual literacy are excellent ways to engage students who may not be confident in STEM. This activity asks students to combine science and the arts by creating a four-page publication of space news.
