Hi, my name is Emma and I am working in SET this year. My favourite space fact is that 5 billion Suns could fit in one of the biggest known stars.
An inquiry based activity that I would use in the classroom is the fingerprint activity. I think trying to solve who stole the sweets really engaged the children and they were all interested in finding out what would be the best way to figure it out. It was a very easy activity to set up and could be done with older children and younger. The children can also use their prior knowledge on fingerprints and this further engages them in the learning process.
