Hello, my name is Ciara O Malley. I am currently on maternity leave but prior to this i was teaching 5th class. I like the space fact thatOn Mercury a day is twice as long as a year.
Prior to the inquiry based lesson to be thought about the size of planets the students would need to be familiar to the name and order of the planets in the solar system. I will assess this by using a KWLchart. The lesson would be introduced to the students by asking the students to line themselves up from tallest to shortest. Introduce the lesson by stating that we are going to put the planets in order from smallest to biggest using fruit. Watching the video on You~Tube students will be shown what fruit represents the planet. Students will math the planet to the corrrect fruit. Once completed they will put in order from smallest to biggest.
