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
Lauren I really like this lesson. Using roleplay is very effective for immersing the children and sparking imagination
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
Hi Aoife – Could you explain how you would simulate evaporation and condensation in the classroom? This is a lovely idea for a lesson
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
Cillian – Using art is a very nice way to introduce kids to science without overwhelming them with information.
Hi Aoife, this is a nice way to get the kids thinking about what is up there in space and I like how you incorporate art into the lesson
Hi Anthony, this is a lovely way to introduce infants to the topic of the moon. Neil Armstrong and that video of him walking on the moon are really conversation starters and a great way to get them interested in the topic of space
Aideen – Making a sundial outside is lovely idea. It doesn’t even have to be as complicated as using protractors and compasses. You can trace out a circle on the ground and go out at various points during the day marking where your shadow was and what time to slowly construct a working one. You could discuss the limitations of a sundial, like how it doesn’t work when it’s not sunny.
Hi Mark, Stellarium really is an amazing tool. You can even change your viewing location and look at the solar system from the point of view of another planet, this is a big hit with chidren!
