The Solar System
In a shining moment of creativity and curiosity, “D” embarked on fascinating project that blended art and science. Inspired by an educational game of Jeopardy, where a question about the planets sparked her curiosity, she decided to make a solar system model using simple crafting materials like pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks. She brought the planets to life in a colourful and educational display and explained the details of her creation.
This hands-on activity not only enhanced her understanding of the solar system but also showcased her creativity and problem solving skills.
It served as a reminder of how a simple question during a game of jeopardy can spark a lifelong interest in learning. Her solar system project- it was a testament to the power of curiosity, creativity and the joy of discovery. I wonder how we can use games like jeopardy to spark curiosity in other subjects too?
