Managing information and thinking
Being curious As students research socio-scientific issues, they will ask questions to probe the problem more deeply and to challenge how they think about the issue.

Managing myself
Making considered decisions
Students enjoy a wide range of collaborative discussions, providing them with opportunities to listen to different perspectives when considering their options
Working with others
Contributing to making the world a better place
Students enjoy frequent opportunities to discuss and debate issues relating to sustainability. They will learn to think critically about the world and its problems and propose solutions
Being creative Exploring options and alternatives
As students engage in scientific inquiry, they generate and seek to answer their own questions. They try out different approaches when working on a task and evaluate what works best.

Describe - Develop a detailed picture or image of, for example, a structure or a process; using words or diagrams where appropriate; produce a plan, simulation or model .

This was the main power point used alongside different activities , to foster the learning and allow the students to have information to refer back to if necessary . It was never the main focus of the lessons , just there as a background source .

A good way to teach the circulatory system that appeals to all those kinaesthetic learners!

Set the room out with six tables labelled lungs, heart, brain, legs, arms, stomach. Sit two volunteers at each table, with four at the heart, two on each side. The rest of the class are given pieces of card - red on one side, blue on the other, representing oxygen-rich and deoxygenated blood.

Send one child off first, circulating the body. Start from one side of the heart, choose a part of the body (e.g. legs) to go to, taking red blood. At the legs table, give to one person at the table, who turns the card over, passes it to the other person, who then returns the deoxygenated blood to the carrier.

That person then returns to the other side of the heart where the blood card is passed through the two volunteers and back to the carrier, who is directed to the lungs. At the lungs table, the lung volunteers turn the card over, so it becomes once again oxygen-rich. They then send the carrier back to the heart where the cycle begins again and they are directed to another part of the body.

Once the path is clear, gradually add in more carriers until you have the complete blood cycle going round the classroom. At intervals, ask for everyone to freeze and question individuals about what type of blood they are carrying, where it is coming from and where they are going to.

This activity can be followed by colouring in and labelling a diagram to demonstrate understanding.

BW 6 - This Lo links to what we cover as it allows the students to appreciate the importance of a healthy lifestyle , the blood flow model and affect of exercise on heart rate will link to this .
NOS 2,NOS3, NOS4 - These will link to the investigation in the blood flow model the students will pose a hypothesis as to what they think will happen , before informing them of what they will be doing the students will come up with a way to investigate this themselves.
They also link to the affect of exercise on heart rate investigation as the students come up with an investigation to test this themselves before carrying it out and they come up with a way to tabulate the results
