The Asteroid Project

This is a blogular cluster by me, Damian Marley. I am a teacher-hubby-dad-nerdburger from Melbourne, Australia. Astronomy, space, science, books, filmmaking, education and music are some of the things I bang on about. Most stuff I post is original.

Map reading and spatial awareness: I put my FlipVideo on my dashboard and drove around Melbourne, then sped the footage up eight times, making a 30 minute video run for 3 minutes. The kids then view the video. Their challenge? Given the starting point (Alexandra Parade) and my travelling direction, they need to use Google Maps and follow my path to its destination. FUN!
