Dear All,
thanks so much for the positive comments and suggestions for improving  
the Moon module.
 I will be adding the new features soon.

 In the meantime, here is the link to another module of activities   
for you to look at and try out.

http://unawe.org/joomla/images/teachers/%2Aeng_a.pdf

 This one is simply entitled Day and Night and deals with the sort of  
'first introduction to the earth as a planet' that we saw in our  
recent workshop with Susan's and Ravi's presentations. (You will see  
that I have actually tried to incorporate the spirit if not the  
delivery of Ravi's activity in "What is up and what is down?")

I can't reiterate it enough;
-  I am always eager to hear your comments and criticisms.

-  Are these activities useful/entertaining/effective for your  
community?

-  Are the ingredients difficult to source or unsuitable for your  
country?

- Do you have better alternatives for introducing the concept of Day  
and Night?

Things are always being added/improved as we we go along; the idea is  
for these activities to evolve. The main thing is for us at the  
international office to reflect and serve your needs.

I hope to hear from you soon,
 Sarah
