Hi I am Sinead.
My favourite fact about space is Mars is the first nearby world that people from Earth will eventually visit. I am interested in the fact that mars is said to have four season similar to earth .
For Junior infants I like to learn about materials and what materials would be best to make a raincoat/ umbrella and why for our teddy bear.
The children are given a pack with different materials such as tin foil, paper towels, blue roll, plastic, felt. They are given water and are asked to investigate what material will be best to make the umbrella/ coat. How did they decided on this and why.
Or can they think of a better material that would make a perfect raincoat for teddy.
