Chris: Exploring knowledge with students beyond textbook after sparking curiosity in the concept of gravity.

KTay: Using teaching tools for illustration such as the soda drink maker to teach mixture of gas and water with tasting. Also shared about making connections between science concepts with daily life experiences.

PS: Bringing students to lab to see chemical mixing and reactions.

Cheryl: Making science concrete with practical experiments.

JKee: Teaching respiration through sense of sound from vocal cords.

Yvonee: Engaging emotions will benefit beyond grades because students will carry with them to the later part of life after graduation.

PH: Emotions includes curiosity, interest.....from MLS

Challenges:
Grace: Harder to build rapport (esp with mask) before attaching emotions to learning.

Before teaching a concept, tap on their prior knowledge, some of which may involve emotions. They are then more prone to share their experiences with the teacher.

Lay Ming
I would highlight experiences that students had encountered and pose questions that help them to establish the link between what's taught and felt/sensed.

As compared to when I first started teaching, teachers are using more e-pedagogy nowadays. I think as a department, we are constantly learning and upgrading ourselves by including more of such opportunities to use technology in our lessons. Students actually pick up very fast.

There are definitely some content that is easier to evoke emotions as compared to others. So I anchor on this content to trigger their thinking before I bring in other content.

KW: Need teachers to be creative and open to changes in learning. Also need to equip our students with digital literacy such as decipher credibility of info. Building resilience by learning Science at own pace.

LM: Need to teach digital literacy such as being respectful to different views online etc

Challenges:
Cheryl: Still boils down to crafting a good lesson to engage student's learning and it takes time and effort.

Kahoot
No doubt Kahoot is very engaging (in terms of emotions) and a very effective technology platform with wonderful features. However we need to be confident that the tool achieves our learning objectives and not just the emotions evoked from all the fun and competition.

PH will share and elaborate.

I would tap on both their and my ow experiences to see the link with the topic learnt. For eg why do the fingers wrinkle when placed in water? -to teach osmosis.

PS:
One of the 6 SkillsFuture for Educators is Differentiated Instruction. One strategy the department can adopt is DI.
DI is about adapting instructional strategies to develop students with different strengths, interests and needs to their full potential. Teachers can collaborate, in pairs or small group.  experimenting and start small with DI and adjust / improve as a team along the day.
