I really liked the resource My Storybook. It is an excellent resource for the children to reflect on completed work and to describe their experiences.

I agree, it is an excellent opportunity to differentiate for different class levels.

The idea of a child creating an algorithm for their partner to follow and create is an excellent STEM activity however it also develops their oral language skills. This is a lesson I will introduce to my class after the summer.

The tea bag task is an excellent experiment to explore materials. This can be covered over a number of weeks to allow the children to take part in guided discovery.  This allows them to come to their own conclusions about the topic being explored.

I agree, the real life context was very engaging. It allows the children to make meaningful connections to their learning.

I agree that the the children should be provided with the opportunity to communicate their ideas/ responses through a variety of different mediums or resources. It increases engagement and creativity. I thought the resource Speak pipe was excellent for this response.

I really liked this idea also. Offers such an opportunity for differentiation, as you said.

I really liked the idea of giving a STEm bag to each child. It allows the child to develop their critical thinking skills throughout the day. It allows them to participate in guided/ self discovery, which is an important part of the primary curriculum. I would like to introduce this to my class.
