    Hi Claire,

    welcome to this course and the world of Junior Infants! I think you will find the ideas and suggestions in the forum very useful – there are about 60 teachers so far in this course, so lots of sharing going on.

    Your playful forces activity is spot on for the engage and wondering aspects of inquiry. Teacher modelling “I wonder…” can help the children find a question that they can answer with their toys.

    They might think that lighter objects are easier to move (from throwing objects around) so may think that lighter objects will fall or roll down a ramp more easily — and so exploring that will let them develop their understanding of forces acting on heavier or lighter objects.
