Online Resources & tools
This module has been so helpful and informative about practical things that can be done in the classroom. There are so many brilliant resources that I am really looking forward to using in my class.
Marvin & Milo: My class absolutely loved comic strips this year and we did a lot of work around them as a style of writing in literacy. I think the children would love these visuals when undertaking a science experiment, it is laid out in a very child friendly way. I also think the students could make their own comics at the end explaining the steps they took when conducting their own experiments.
Stellarium: I was really impressed with this resource and felt there were so many options on how it could be used in the classroom. I feel it would be a brilliant stimulus to a lesson about space to really grab the students attention. It could lead to great discussions and development of oral language skills, discussing the difference with night and day. I also feel there would be great opportunities to link in art- creating a picture with chalk/paint.
