{{activity|Small group activity|20 }}  Navigate to the ‘Balancing Act’ simulation by following the link below. Play with the simulation for a few minutes and think about how you might use it in an EBL lesson. Can you come up with one or two enquiry questions that could be investigated using the simulation? Discuss with your colleagues how students would record their answers to these questions.

If time permits, think about reviewing the two gold star rated resources (Teaching Ideas) that accompany the simulation to see if/how they could be good exemplars for your EBL lesson.

These are some possible extension activities you can do choose to do in your own time:
 
1. Study other simulations that have been developed, on the web page:
 
* http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/new
 
2. Come up with some headings under which to review the simulations and resources that this website pages could offer for an EBL lesson. For instance, you could assess the simulations and resources in terms of:
*i. level of enquiry they promote
*ii. ways of extending/differentiating the level of enquiry
*iii. how user friendly is it for yourself and students
*iv. how engaging will it be for the students
*v. relevance to your teaching subjects or curriculum in general

The '''Zedupad''' resource ''Discrimination:  women and girls'' (see link below) could be used with your students to explore some of the issues particular to women and girls around the basic right to an education.  It tells the story of Mary who is being denied an education. 
Slide 14 asks the following questions:
*  Why doesn't Mary go to school?
*  Why does her father send her brothers to school?
*  Is this fair?
*  What human rights is she being denied?

{{activity|wcd|: group presentation|30 }}  Have a go now at presenting your enquiry findings (for activities A-E) that you have worked on together in your small groups for the past weeks. Ensure that you present HOW you arrived at your conclusions. Decide on the maximum time that you would allow each group to present (we suggest 5-8 mins) and allocate a time-keeper. At the end of each presentation, allow the audience to ask questions for clarification (we suggest 3-5 mins).
The audience should make use of the assessment rubric above (or any revised version of the criteria and descriptors) to provide constructive feedback on the strength of the presentation and what areas could be improved on (as we will expect learners to do in the classroom).
