My Name is Martina and my space fact is ‘Shooting stars blaze a range of colours depending on the elements they’re made of’. I am curious to engage in this course to expand my knowledge on space and to find resources that can help in teaching of space related topics. I like the lesson and resource for Investigating Gravity on Curious minds that uses the Inquiry Framework, outlining strand, strand unit, learning objectives and skills development. It would be a good hands on lesson for junior classes. The prompt could be teacher dropping an item and then engaging class in discussion, and then to wonder and question leading to brainstorming of falling objects, pushing/pulling, and exploration. Ask for predictions. Teacher ensures that there is materials available to use for class, dropping from various heights, dropping two objects to see which lands on floor first, paper vs stone etc. Groups of children could work together, exploring, recording, questioning, predicting, communicating and then presenting information to class. Pupils could try further investigations at home with other materials and report to class. Then as teacher, reflection on the inquiry, as to what worked well, what should change for next time, and seek opportunities for cross curricular integration.
