which colour gives the best UV protection?

# data[].attributes.body
students are in control of the controls and the variables..
they set success criteria

our group:
time: 30 seconds
2 torches instead of just 1
held torches directly onto petri dish
the same beads were used
and around 20 approximately

other groups:
different times, different distances, layers of cellophane, different number of beads.

after experiment..
present to class.
we talked about our controls and variables. our method. the apparatus used. the results. and what we could conclude from our results.

# data[].attributes.body
no right or wrong answer.
benefits vs. costs.
ideal world no testing but at cost of valuable research.

... inspires active debate
walking debate could be used in classroom

Animal Research Activity (done during class) 

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning we were asked weather we were for or against animal testing... a show of hands was given in the class.

1. We were given a list of statements and in our groups discussed the statements and indicated by ticking the boxes if we agreed or disagreed with the statement.
2. We were given 4 quotes from 4 different people. We had to pretend that we were these people are argue their opinion on the matter.

The class was then asked again if they were for or against animal testing.. the show of hands was a lot different from the beginning

.. science in society
eg. animal research/ testing

# data[].attributes.body
activity: shaking boxes with unknown items

skills used = producing and selecting data, logical reasoning from observations

results = consistent observations

not telling them answers.. that is the nature of science sometimes we will never know if we are fully correct / got to the bottom of it.

# data[].attributes.body
access prior knowledge ideas
.. can use as question in test

can leave box blank... what do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
link them together to answer question
eg. tilt of earth.. closer colder activity

You can export to Microsoft Word

(1) use pencil
why? does not ruin their hard work

(2) give written comment rather than just a number..

-never turn your back on the class position to see everyone

-when student is asking question do not looking away at someone else, give them your attention

# data[].attributes.body
a selection of statements

# data[].attributes.body
-no direct method given to follow
key skills addressed:
-creative - design way to present results
-communication - presenting results
-organisation
-co operation

-peer evaluation at end.. what was wrong with it?
number given without any meaning behind it
success criteria could be given

If whiteboard not available can use lining paper.

group all working at once
center space can be used for group summary or concerns

Keep a cup of lollipop sticks on your desk with every students name on them.
Why? prevents same student answering every question.
Use for answering questions in class or selecting groups.
Can modify to manage bad behavior.. smaller cup inside the cup... select student more than once.
