  1. Capturing interest

  2. Capturing interest = Engagement = Questions about the world Initially an image or starter task on the board can help students start the thinking processes for your lesson… • These strategies can help: • Capture initial interest • Generate discussion between students • Generate questions • Encourage thinking skills • Distraction from outside ssshhhhhh behaviour management!! • Present students with things they like and do not expect in their lessons. • Identify Misconceptions

  3. What do these have in common?

  4. Capturing interest quickly 1. Using the internet as a tool for teaching 2. Google resources for inspiration 3. Media footage (adverts, clips, etc) to capture interest.

  5. Suggested model ... Basic info 1. Using the internet as a tool for teaching Topic Key points Google keywords E.g. KS3 respiration, AQA C1b alkenes Ideas! Look for resources by searching for files Table, match up, cloze, case studies .swf or .gif Sounds, movies, etc

  6. Ideas! “picture is a 1000 words and all that… 2. Google images for inspiration Random/stunning pictures for the same word, this encourages students to ask.. Why’s that there? Find the link… Google finds the keywords Your definition is different to someone else's!

  7. This list is directly linked but a different way of thinking about the same word! Student thinking will not be as linear or logical as yours…. This method will identify alternative areas of interest or misconceptions.

  8. What do these have in common?

  9. A2 - Medical Physics

  10. Write a sentence tenuously linking these pictures together…e.g. a bit of a story! Anders Celsius1701-1744

  11. OdD 1 OuT

  12. Energy Transformations Diagrams • Lesson objectives: • Explain how Sankey diagrams show energy transformations. • Keywords: • Energy • Transferred • Conserved • KE • Usain Bolt • Sankey • Stored • Joules (J)

  13. Bats make high-pitched chirps which are too high for humans to hear. This is called ultrasound • Like normal sound, ultrasound echoes off objects • The bat hears the echoes and works out what caused them • Dolphins also navigate with ultrasound • Submarines use a similar method called sonar • We can also use ultrasound to look inside the body…

  14. Advantages: • No side effects • Any part or orientation of the body • High quality resolution (especially soft tissue) • Contrast between materials can be used to investigate concerns Potential: Huge magnetic field 100,000 times the earth’s • Disadvantages: • Bone images are poor • Claustrophobia • Noisy and long time • Not on people with pacemakers/pin implants • Expensive equipment

  15. Label each picture and give three examples of that type of energy.

  16. starter “Yeah Baby!!!” “Its Disco Stu…… When I’m grooving the night away, getting down… the energy just flows from me Mannn!” • How does Disco Stu lose all his energy? • Where does it go? • Where did it come from first? • Are there other energies at the Disco Inferno!! Disco Inferno

  17. Name four good insulators in the picture? • Are the glasses good emitters or bad conductors? • Why are areas of his shirt over 5oC warmer than the rest of the shirt? • Why is his collar the coldest part of his shirt?

  18. Every thermos has a silver lining Plastic cap filled with cork to reduce Conduction. Double walled glass bottle Insulating foam to support glass bottle. Shiny silver lined walls of glass bottle. Plastic Case Air Vacuum between glass walls Page 51 old Physics your you

  19. Nuclear power - a disaster waiting to happen? Paris Hilton Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Beyonce Knowles The Stig George W Bush

  20. ICT within a teaching style 3. Videos and adverts to capture interest. • Show the science in the world they take for granted and do not connect to science.

  21. Clips from TV shows, hard to find but are out there and can be downloaded via some websites … Brainiac etc • VHS and convert to DVD/hard drive • BBC iplayer/MSN play/Daily motion/4OD Adverts…. Make great starters, brain breaks, fillers, plenary, capture interest, discussion points, good science, bad science etc You tube videos Stream/download-conversion. Used to make Mini-films using movie maker with pop music backing tracks.

  22. File conversion and download sites .. Free and it emails a link to a file you can down load. There are alternatives out there!!

  23. By typing .gif or.swf after a keyword you can sometimes find animated pictures and interactive diagrams. E.g. chromatography.gif or Earth Structure.swf • Copy and paste GIFs like normal. • SWF (flash) save link, or save as a Target.
