Planning our investigations

We have been planning our own investigations related to our topic. We can choose to carry out our own investigation or work with some other children.  After we carry out our investigation we evaluate it or talk about it with our friends.  Investigations have included:

• Carrying out experiments about floating and sinking.
• Investigating how sea creatures behave.
• Sorting out animals into different groups.
• Creating pictures/art work/ play dough models with our knowledge of the underwater world and the features of various sea creatures.

Below you can see some examples of our plans and how we used our Aistear time to develop our understanding of "Under the Sea" in many different ways.
