Hi everyone, my name is Chloe and I will be teaching senior infants this September.
My favorite space fact is that the sunset on mars appears blue in colour.
An inquiry based activity that I have done previously was looking at gravity, skydiving, and parachutes. The children experimented with a variety of different everyday materials such as tissue paper, plastic bags, straws, old pillow cases etc. Children used a variety of materials to try and build the best parachute (the parachute that fell at the slowest speed). The children created a plan for their parachute stated what materials they were going to use in their parachute, and gave their opinion’s on why they thought their parachute was going to work the best.
