I think these will work well with younger students as it is very interactive and a good way to get students involved in their learning.

- The experiment was thoroughly enjoyable as it challenged our thinking and imagination, it allowed us to revisit our childhood and invent our own experiment.
-It was a great experiment and hit a lot of the junior cert key skills.

The White Book- 
Students design this as a revision tool. Students create their own book and use it to note the key ideas from the lesson. for example : My Little White nook on "The Digestive system"
The cube is another very good idea that I will definitely be implementing into my classes in the future- The cube will have various words and pictures on it. The cube is the rolled around the class and whatever it lands on the student will have to give a fact about the word or the picture.]]> 2017-10-25 20:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/3uvja1az3606/wish/200616000 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/3uvja1az3606/wish/200616067 -  Sometimes when using IBL I feel that students may go off task. Is there any way I can get students to stay on task throughout ?
-If I am to introduce IBL how do I know all students in the group will pull their weight?

These thermometers are dangerous as they can be harmful if the mercury would be to get into your eyes etc.

I think it would have been a good idea to sum up and reflect on today's lesson at the end of the class as we learned a lot but closed off very quickly.]]> 2017-10-25 20:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/3uvja1az3606/wish/200616095 eimear_byrne87 https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/3uvja1az3606/wish/200616153 I thought all the teaching strategies introduced in this lesson worked really well and I will undoubtedly be implementing them into my lessons in the future.]]> 2017-10-25 20:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eimear_byrne87/3uvja1az3606/wish/200616153
