(Uzaira and Shahmir are looking at different points on the globe.) Shahmir : Look here is America, Africa. Hey, where is space? Uzaira : The sky, stars, sun and moon, they are all in space.  Shahmir : Yes, I know. Sunita Williams went in a spaceship. I saw on TV that she could see the earth from there.  Uzaira : Yes, from there the earth looked like this globe.  The above text is used to introduce the concept of space to students of grade 5.  Which of the below questions would help address Shahmir's question?

Correct Answer If you made cut-outs of the sun, moon and stars, where would you keep them?

Space is the area outside the earth. Planets, meteors, stars, and other celestial bodies can be found in space.

Key Points Way to teach students about space:

  • ​Allow them to express their ideas- the teacher should allow children to express their ideas about space to get insight into their knowledge and understanding of it.
  • Art and crafts- Drawing an alien, creating rockets, making cutouts of sun, moon, and stars, and keeping them in their place in the solar system.
  • Using teaching-learning resources to encourage students to explore what is known about the space.

Hence, we conclude that asking students where will they keep cutouts of the sun, moon, and stars would help address Shahmir's question.

Whereas asking them to imagine being in space, and creating a 3D model of space will not help children develop an understanding of "where is the space".
