Hi guys!
For my first class, I would choose the “What Clothes to Wear?” activity from the module. This inquiry-based activity allows students to explore the connection between weather conditions and the type of clothing people wear. The activity would start with a discussion on different weather conditions (sunny, rainy, cold, hot) and how they affect our choice of clothes. Students will then be asked to predict what types of clothes are suitable for each condition and why.
To make the activity more engaging, I would use an interactive approach by showing them various clothing items (e.g., raincoats, winter hats) and having them match these items to specific weather scenarios. This hands-on approach not only reinforces their understanding of the relationship between weather and clothing but also encourages them to think critically and communicate their reasoning.
This activity aligns well with developing core scientific skills such as questioning, observing, and predicting while making learning fun and relevant to their everyday lives.
