Abstract
Building on the Minds-On project, this study developed the online
module “Celestial Bodies” to enhance hands-on and minds-on
learning, providing students with individualised feedback prompts
to monitor and identify weaknesses in their understanding. The
lesson centred on classifying 14 celestial bodies based on three
properties, with the guidance of the online module, a map, and
cards. This study aimed to (1) enhance student engagement with
the software, and (2) assess the impact of guided instructions
and feedback prompts. We introduce our interactive lesson,
present our findings, and discuss their benefits in upper primary
education classes to enhance student engagement, concept
learning, emphasising enhanced integration of minds-on and
hands-on activities.
