Developing a class where students have to conceive of the relative distances, speeds of  the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and the ability of humanity to land on it. What scientists have found and hope to find. All the technologies that have brought us to this point.

Science class comes alive using IBL. Classroom can sometimes be quite unstructured. It is important therefore that behind "the madness" that the teacher has well defined goals and learning outcomes.

You wish to follow a student-centered approach. You prefer your classes to be based on discussion with your students. You would be comfortable with giving your students several degrees of freedom when it comes to hands-on activities. You wish to focus more heavily on developing your students’ skills while making sure you cover some specific content.

I have practiced with a few young people and they understood and were faster at using any of the sites for citizen science.]]> 2016-09-24 00:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katieos/7myvogk1aslt/wish/126142304 On gender equal opportunity katieos https://padlet.com/katieos/7myvogk1aslt/wish/126513075 I teach in a mixed gender school with many newcomers to the country in each class. It really enriches  classroom activities. The first space video I showed the students was Sunny Williams (female US astronaut) taking a tour of the International Space Station. There was no feeling in the class that it should have been a man. Students are very accepting when given appropriate cue.]]> 2016-09-26 20:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katieos/7myvogk1aslt/wish/126513075 On type-casting and physical ability katieos https://padlet.com/katieos/7myvogk1aslt/wish/127747591 It irritates me the way the clever guy is asthmatic.
