Mystery Image

Mystery Image is an excellent activity to develop pupils' understanding of observation and inference using different stimuli. Scientists use both observations and inferences when they are making sense of and interpreting data/evidence. Observations may focus on various characteristics of objects or materials, for example, shape, size, texture, colour or pattern. Inferences can be different but they must be based on the evidence.

Providing pupils with magnified images of objects can give them a valuable insight into the composition of things. These images can be created using the “Magnifying Glass” app. This app allows you to capture an image and zoom in and out using a slider with up to 10 times magnification.

The PDST Primary STEM issue an e-Bulletin STEM Smaointe and regular updates regarding upcoming CPD events via email. If you would like to subscribe please click here.

In addition to this we are delighted to offer you bespoke school support, where a skilled advisor will provide school support during and after school hours. If you wish to apply for school support please click here.

Finally, our webinar series STEM sa Bhaile and STEM ar Scoil are available here. The next webinar will run on Tuesday 10th November and you can register here.

Have fun and please feel free to share photos with us on Twitter tagging @PDSTPrimarySTEM and @ScoilnetPrimary. We’d love to see how your pupils enjoyed Science Week!
