This lesson can be completed with first or second class. We will make a space craft by using recyclable materials over the course of a week. We will start with an introduction by reading of Aliens in Underpants Saves the World to stimulate interest and then also the Planet Song. Students will draw up ideas of their designs and begin to make their designs in teams. They will paint and present their spaceships to the class and share how they made them and what items they used. We will conclude the lessons with questioning and a summary of what we learned about space and spaceships. We will complete a Kahoot quiz at the end to aid in assessment and understanding.
I would use the hands on classroom activities like where do you live to get the children to think where they live along with examples. They would then use playdough to create their own house. I would use animals in the cold alongside a book to stimulate interest in the topic. I would connect this to the different clothes we need for winter and summer and connect hot and cold to it. We would conduct the experiment investigating childrens coats as a real life example.
We would conduct a weather record and record weather over the period of a month and see if there are any similarities or differences or see if the children can spot any patterns in the weather. I would also use Stellarium to engage childrens interests alongside a Kahoot quiz relating to weather, clothes we wear in different seasons and hot and cold.I would start off by reading the story Aliens love underpants and go through all space specific vocabulary to make sure it is understood.
We would then integrate with art to create an alien and spaceship of their own choice.
Hands on activity: Create a star lantern.
Interactive learning: Kahoot quiz in groups. This reinforces learning and assessment.
Nursery Rhymes: Twinkl Twinkl Little Star, Hey Diddle Diddle
Creative Projects: In groups on space
Questioning: Constant questions throughoutI would choose the activity the sun and the shadows as I think it is an interesting and practical lesson.
We would engage in the book mood bear and his shadow as a class. Explore and question how shadows get bigger and smaller and what causes this. We would then use the challenge cards and pose more challenge to the children. Outside we would in the morning use the position of the sun to draw a childs shadow and come back later in the day and redraw to show how the childs shadow has moved due to the position of the sun.I think this is an interesting experiment as it teaches the children to learn and find their answers through exploration.
An inquiry lesson I have completed is making a volcano erupt in a bottle. The children work together to make predictions in groups. You take a bottle and mix water, soap, food colouring and vinegar. Then add baking soda and add it slowly into the bottle. The children they watch the volcano erupt and see the process of eruption.
Children can consolidate their learning by asking and posing questions to other groups in the classroom. They can then write up their findings and check if their predictions were correct. The now understand the concept of eruption properly.My name is Lynn and I teach 1st/2nd class. Saturn’s rings are 90% water.firstly take
