Maria – This is a very comprehensive list of resources you have put together, well done. How would you use any of these during a lesson?

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Maria, that’s a very nice lesson. Using balls and a light to explain the moon phases is extremely engaging for children and teaches them about moon phases in a way that is easy to understand. I recommended buying cheap foam balls and pushing some sticks into them so that they are easier to hold and see. What story/video would you show them?

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Sinead – using a globe to explain up/down is really effective and the concept really does confuse a lot of people.

Linda- Using a video prompt at the start like Neil Armstrongs moonwalk can be a really great way to get children excited and immersed in the topic! I like how you bring the topic across multiple subjects

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Grace, this is a very nice lesson for inquiry. It’s effective to act confused and try to resist the urge to tell the children which is waterproof or not!

[Jane Dooley]

Emma – the fingerprint activity can be a great starting point for inquiry learning. The mystery element helps to keep children engaged and lead to lots of lovely questioning and discussion

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Elaine – using stations is a really effective way to keep children engaged and the Moon is a big topic in space at the moment with the upcoming Artemis mission, sending humans back to the Moon

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Dayna – This is a very nice enquiry lesson for children. You could expand on this by discussing what materials they wear to stop them getting wet

This looks like a wonderful plan for space week with infants. I really like how you are incorporating the topic of space into various subjects for space week, like PE and art.

Maria – This is a nice activity to get the kids logical thinking going and teach them fine motor skills

[Jane Dooley]

Lauren I really like this lesson. Using roleplay is very effective for immersing the children and sparking imagination

[Jane Dooley]

Eileen, I like how you get the kids to take pictures of the sky at different times of the day and demonstrate day and night various ways. This is a nice immersive lesson

[Jane Dooley]

Hi Aoife – Could you explain how you would simulate evaporation and condensation in the classroom? This is a lovely idea for a lesson

[Jane Dooley]

This is a nice approach to discussing life on other planets and also bringing in how important protecting our Earth is. You can get the kids to identify what is needed for life and why Earth is perfect for us to live on

Hi Éadaoin, this is a lovely lesson with many different aspects to help teach fine motor skills and art. I like the link to looking after our own enviroment
