| |strategy= The resource consists of a number of sheets including a description of the process of doing an investigation for enquiry based learning. | | |strategy= |
| Teachers could share lesson ideas using the table and ideas regarding the types of skills pupils must engage (e.g. observing).
| |
| The resource also includes a set of learning goals centred on the investigation skills (observing, predicting, problem solving, etc.) and a sheet with some different ideas for exploring types of practical work in science.
| |
| Both these sheets could form the basis of a discussion or brainstorming session to apply the types and skills given to different content areas.
| |
| The resources have an emphasis on encouraging pupils to think scientifically – using higher order thinking skills – and the use of group talk and dialogue to facilitate knowledge building.
| |
| | |
| Teachers work through the process of 'doing an investigation' to see what is involved in enquiry-based learning. A worksheet prompts them to 'think scientifically' and to consider the skills that children would be using in such an activity (for example, observing, predicting and measuring). Teachers can then come together to share their investigation ideas and brainstorm the types of skills pupils will practice in different content areas.
| |
| Ideas here include encouraging children's dialogue to facilitate knowledge building and awareness that they are a range of types of practical science work. Teachers may also discuss the assessment of practical work by looking at level criteria for various skills. (RF)
