Hi, my name is Linda. I’ve taught Junior Infants for the past 5 years and will be teaching 1st class next year. My favourite fact about space is that the sun is so big it could fit a million planet earths inside!
After reading & listening to this module I would love to try the fingerprint activity. I think the children would really engage with it & enjoy it. It is suitable for lots of different class levels & can be adjusted accordingly. I love the idea of posing a problem for the children to solve e.g. Who stole the sweets from the jar? and then taking fingerprints to find out the culprit. It creates an element of fun & suspense in the lesson. There are also not too many resources needed for this activity which is good. It can be easily done with pencils, paper & cellotape!
