Module 1

[Maeve O’Mahony]

My name is Maeve and I will be teaching Junior Infants this year. My favourite space fact is that Saturn’s rings are made of ice particles.

Forces activity: Teaching Gravity.

I would begin by reading pages from the picture book “Gravity is bringing me down” by Wendelin Van Draanen.

The children will engage in simple activities to understand the concept of gravity.

Engage in discussion asking what will happen when this ball is dropped- drop and observe what happens, repeat with different objects of different weights. Ask students to think, pair share which object fell quicker. Give groups objects to test themselves. Have students draw the objects which fell on a piece of paper after the experiment.
