Activity : where do you live – Esero 5.
I liked the lesson where do you live and would try it with my junior infant class next year. I liked the idea of providing the children with images of houses as a starting point following a dicusiion on what a home is. Some preparation could be stories like the three little pigs.
Once the children have chosen a house we could discuss why the house needs certain features to provide shelter in the weather.
As a follow up activity children will make 3d models. I will have a lego table, a playdough table, a table with blocks and art materials as a prompt but children they will be free to use whatever they want.
I like the idea of using a simplified version of this lesson https://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/PR37_Moon_shelter.pdf
I think it would be fun to extend the theme by coming up with ideas for shelter on the moon.
