I have enjoyed the first module in this course. There is a wide range of resources available to teach this topic. I will definitely use some of the activity ideas and videos from this lessons. The STEM education outlines the importants of creativity and child centered learning and this module provides multiple ways of facilitating this in the classroom.
Activities 1 and 2 are very well planned out and very realistic for the classroom. I think that they are child centered and will be excellent in helping the children learn more about weather and climate in a motivating and fun way. Nose up High in the Sky lends itself to a lot of integration in maths, numeracy etc. There was a lot of content here and this learning could definitely be developed over a few weeks with the children.
In activity two I thought that the worksheets were very practical and child friendly and would focus the learning of the children. These lessons plans included videos, ideas for child focused creative learning and group work. There were excellent extra links at the end of the pdf that I will also use next year! These lessons definitely promoted child investigation and curiosity which I will aim to do more of in my classroom next year!
