Module 4 Assignment:
I would use the activity set for the Weather and focus on what clothes to wear. This could be used in 1st class. I would discuss the different seasons and focus on hot and cold seasons. This would lead to discussing different types of suitable clothing for hot and cold conditions. This would lead to discussing the need for warm clothing in cold conditions, and why we wear warm clothing. There is a lovely science activity that would be suitable for this topic and it is called Keep the Ice Cube cold. In this experiment pupils take an ice cube and place it into a yoghurt pot, they then use different materials to wrap around the pot for example paper, bubble wrap, tin foil, plastic. The pupils would use a timer to see how long it takes for the cubes to melt fully. The materials being used helps the pupils to understand the role that different materials play in insulating things and helps them understand why we wear different materials/clothes for different weather conditions.
