    Hi all,
    I've been teaching my class about space and they are really into it.
    It is easy to spot the ISS in the sky? How can I help them continue their enthusiasm?! (12 year olds!)
    Any particularly cool videos to show? I showed one of a tour on the ISS already.

    If you have an android phone or tablet, download ISS Detector from google play store. It lists when the ISS (and other satellites) are visible, their brightness and an animated real time graphic as they are visible passing overhead.

    You should have a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/iss

    If anything is happening with the ISS it'll be discussed there.

    I don't know if it's a good idea to be sending 12 year olds to reddit as it's very lightly moderated. The ISS subreddit should be fine though.
