Hi – I’m Emma and I will be teaching Senior Infants in September.
A fun space fact – if you were to fly a plane to Pluto the journey would take more than 800 years!
I plan on using the hands on activities outlined on the Curious Minds website with my students when teaching science. I particularly liked the lesson plan for Mighty Materials (Junior Classes) and planning a Trigger to get them interested such as videos or books relating to the topic – this is of particular importance with the younger classes. I have got some great ideas also on this forum which I will definitely be using in my classroom such as the lesson based around The Stars and the experiment for the Volcanic Eruption in a Jar.

I also had not heard this before Michelle – great fact thank you

I would primarily use the books recommended as resources for this theme such as The Way Back Home and the Marvin & Milo cartoons.
We will read the books recommended during literacy time when we read together as a whole class (cross-curricular approach).
The Fizzing and Foaming activity if of particular interest to me with my Senior Infant class as I feel it will encourage their natural curiosity.

These are great Tracy thank you – especially the video links.
