  1. The ways of creativity are infinite: the ways of formal learning are numbered Year 1 Core ScienceClassroom OrganisationInvestigative Contexts Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  2. Independent Study Task follow up • Read Harlen and Qualter(2009) Chapters 14, 16 • Make notes. What might you look for in school as evidence of children’s skill use? • Use this writing frame to complete an entry in your reflective journal. • Review your understanding of your own science skills. • Are there any that you find more difficult to use / observe in others? • What strategies have you to address any concerns? Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  3. Learning Intentions • Compare and evaluate a range of ways to organise practical science activities in the classroom. • Through practical activity analyse the benefits and drawbacks of teaching skills of scientific enquiry. • Consider a range of resources as creative starting points for science enquiry. • To use and consider ICT to support data collection and interpretation. Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  4. Investigation – Shipwrecked! This investigation undertaken as part of National Science Week (2008)* School Y3/4 class undertaking work on The Tudors and a recent visit to The Mary Rose. • Cross-curricular links with History, ICT and Maths. • Opportunities for LOtC – school trip *(Tyson, S. (2009) “Shipwrecked in Science Week 2008!” Primary Science 106, Jan/Feb 2009. Hatfield: ASE) Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  5. Investigation – Shipwrecked! • Children discussed who would be on board the Mary Rose when it sank and what might have affected whether the person survived or not. Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  6. People on board the Mary Rose • Cabin boy – poorly dressed in rags; • Fat, rich merchant – well dressed in layers of clothing; • Sailor – thin layer of clothing; • Rich lady / gentleman – lots of layers of very rich fabric; • Captain – layers with outer clothing made of waterproof fabric. Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  7. In groups of 4 – 6 develop an hypothesis as to what might have affected survival rates on board the Mary Rose when it sank. • Plan and carry out an investigation to test your hypothesis for your designated person from the ship – you may wish to use a planning board. • You will need to use a datalogger. • Be prepared to feedback your ideas, difficulties, evaluation. • Don’t forget your risk assessment! Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  8. Prediction: • Which passenger do you think would have remained the warmest and which the coldest? Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  9. Conclusion and Evaluation • What have you found out? • How would you organise this activity with children? • Consider the enquiry skills used in this session. • Implications / issues for teaching? • The role of ICT to support the teaching and learning of Science. Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  10. Practically Science: Classroom Organisation teachers.tv/video/28091 – Practically Science now available at http://www.teachfind.com/teachers-tv/ks12-science-practically-science • Reflect on the different strategies and ways that the teacher in the video clip has decided to use to organise practical work in primary classrooms. • Have you seen any of these methods? • Any comments? Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  11. Independent Study Tasks • Find a reference to grouping in science. What are the implications for your practice? What might you observe and evaluate in school? Please bring notes to next taught session Now - place your notes in your Science file / portfolio. • Read Harlen and Qualter (2009) Ch 17 - How might you support children in assessing their work in science? Use this writing frame to complete an entry in your reflective journal: What implications for your teaching can you note from today’s session? Core 1 Science 2012 KP

  12. ReminderWEEK 12 Student directed learning task • In small groups (3-4 students) review your understanding of ONE Science Skill. • Prepare a 5 minute Powerpoint presentation for the rest of the class as if you were a teacher addressing parents/carers in the Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 or 2. • How will you help parents to understand the importance of this skill? • What type of activities might you suggest / illustrate to develop this skill? • How can adults recognise this skill in use? • What is the adult’s role in nurturing and enhancing this skill? • Prepare an A4 handout for the class (this could be your Powerpoints with notes) – upload this onto the LN in Week 12.
