Lesson idea. A comprehension and discussion activity based on four different organisms: the butterfly, the oak, the whale and the zebra.
Teaching approach. This lesson offers students an opportunity to use their existing knowledge to analyse a ‘real scientific publication’ and its language(ta) and link this to scientific method(ta).
- They use study skills(topic) to skim read, make sense of complex language, and use visualisation(ta) to select relevant information
- They engage in collaborative(tool) group work(ta) using reasoning(ta) and skills in peer assessment(ta)
- They engage in dialogue(ta) and questioning(ta) to explore ideas together
- They also think about how to present information using ICT(i) tools)
