I found this module interesting and it had lots of great ideas that I have taken note of to use with my class in the coming year. I think that the children would especially enjoy the lessons relating to rockets as they are intriguing and interesting to young children. I would begin by reading one of the stories recommended during the presentation. I think they will particularly enjoy the aliens in underpants story. The story will serve as a stimulant to engage the children in the topic. I would then show them some examples of rockets before giving them the opportunity to explore and design a rocket themselves. I will use primaryscience.ie to guide me for this lesson. I think they would also find making rocket mice a very fun activity and enjoy comparing their rocket to others to see which works the best and why. I look forward to trying this out during Space Week.
