Hi – I’m Emma and I will be teaching Senior Infants in September.
A fun space fact – if you were to fly a plane to Pluto the journey would take more than 800 years!
I plan on using the hands on activities outlined on the Curious Minds website with my students when teaching science. I particularly liked the lesson plan for Mighty Materials (Junior Classes) and planning a Trigger to get them interested such as videos or books relating to the topic – this is of particular importance with the younger classes. I have got some great ideas also on this forum which I will definitely be using in my classroom such as the lesson based around The Stars and the experiment for the Volcanic Eruption in a Jar.
