Added: 17 Aug 2016 Contributor: Scoilnet Resource type: Treoir/nótaí / Tagairt

Three task cards for designing a shelter in a jungle, mountain and desert. Task cards provide the materials pupils can use, the description of the location they will build their house and what they should consider.

How it maps to the curriculum

3-4
OSIE: Tíreolaíocht

Strand: Imshaolta daonna

Strand unit: Daoine a chónaíonn agus a shaothraíonn sa cheantar áitiúil agus Daoine a chónaíonn agus a shaothraíonn i gceantar codarsnach in Éirinn

Content objective:
Ba chóir go ligfeadh acmhainn seo do pháiste:

  • éirí feasach ar na foirmeacha iompair agus ar na bealaí iompair sa dúiche áitiúil agus i gceantar codarsnach in Éirinn
  • príomhghnéithe an imshaoil fhoirgnithe sa dúiche máguaird agus i gceantar codarsnach in Éirinn a iniúchadh agus a imscrúdú agus léirthuiscint orthu a shealbhú

Suggestions for use: Use the task cards to get pupils critically thinking about the area in which they need to build their house and aspects they need to consider when designing their house. Allow time for pupils to research the area - mountain/ desert/ jungle.
