I would use the Online resources and tools in my classroom in order to have enhance my SSE lessons using STEM.
I have Junior Infants for the coming year and I just know how beneficial and engaging Milo and Marvin will be in my classroom. The animated creatures wonder why things happens which would therefore spark curiosity and wonder within the children in my class. The cartoon strip is very bright and vibrant which I feel will get the children very interested and engaged at the beginning of the lesson. This resource is so straight-forward as it provides a list of the equipment that will be needed for experiments and a step-by-step guide of how to carry out the experiments. The children will learn so many new skills from the various experiments provided.
Another online resource I would love to use is The Astronomy picture of the Day. I just know that the children will find it very exciting to see the different images each day. I would love to have the website open every morning as the children come into the classroom so that they can exam it themselves or with their friends before a whole class discussion on it. I feel like they would learn so many new facts and enjoy looking at the Earth or Space from various angles.
