Overview: I will create an interactive model of the solar system and teach how to memorize the position of each planets, in order, relative to the sun. Each of the planets will also be a unique navigation that will bring the user “closer” to the planet once they click it.
It is still a work in progress…
Target Audience: Ages 9 and up who are interested about the universe and the solar system.
Goal: Try to include the 8 pathways to learning. Include a beginning, middle and end (credits or congratulations page.) It needs to teach something interactively, and actively engages different learning styles.
How I will try to engage through 8 learning styles:
- words (linguistic intelligence) – content and information about each planets/bodies
- numbers or logic (logical-mathematical intelligence) – the solar system, 9 planets
- pictures (spatial intelligence) – pictures of the planets of our solar system
- music (musical intelligence) – ambient, rollover/mouse effect
- self-reflection (intrapersonal intelligence) – Mnemonic phrase – “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas”
- a physical experience (bodily-kinesthetic intelligence)
- a social experience (interpersonal intelligence) – Fun quiz at the end.
- an experience in the natural world (naturalist intelligence) – advice to go out and look at the sky at night
