    I will have junior infants this year and I would choose: Online Resources and Tools.

    Marvin and Milo – we could do one of the Marvin and Milo challenges such as ‘The Straw Gun’ (how air keeps the same pressure so water is blown from the straw), ‘Alka Seltzer Rocket’ – the gas build up and the lid of the canister is forced off) and ‘Spot a raw egg from a cooked one’.

    Stellarium-web.org – This website is incredible. It is so interactive and you feel like an astronomer navigating through the stars and space! We would begin be looking at the constellations, next would be the atmosphere and then Deep Sky Objects. I like the way there is a search feature and I searched for ‘Sirius A’ which is twice the size of the sun.

    ESA Education – I would use ESA – Space for Kids which has fantastic resources to encourage children to become scientists! A lovely activity about planets is right here ESA – Space for Kids – The Solar System and its planets.
