1. You can provide an interesting beginning part and that the students create their own questions and hypotheses and get so motivated for the following lesson.
2. I think its good if the students name the product by themselves.
3. Because before you beginn with the experiment its good to think about the object you are experimenting with. Its also important to set and hypothesis before your are doing the experiment. The equipment is more part of the experiment and thats why you do exercise 1 after 2,3 and 4
4.the teacher just watched them doing their experiment
5. Students worked by themselves
6.first they make an observation and than the experiment and at last the do evaluation
7. I think it would be similar
8. the students had to make their own conclusion and hypotheses. its important that the take notes. they learned with different sources.
9. its important for the students to get the right results and compare them with their own. so they can correct their results.

1 Motivation can come, simply, from seing different foods and puzzling what is going to happen
2 The reason can be to icrease curiosity
3 Students start from these questions in order to enhance formulation of hypothesis
4 Teacher is supervising the process of open exploration and tryes
5 Students work by them self in order to make all the tryes
6 There are no "deep chemistry" explanations but nonetheless it could be a valuable activity encouraging experimental approach
7 Students formulate hypothesis in a very spontaneous way. My students would have been more intimidated
8 It's important that students face with the need of formulating an hypothesis and drawing conclusions from video and , very important, take notes as well. They have to find a formal way of epxlaining
9 The final revision is essential because help students to compare different point of views and hypothesis, teacher has the chance to encourage new investigations, enhance and underline similarities and differences. All these actions are essentials and they have to be made always in a (extreme) positive form

1.Providing to intrigue them with examples taken from reality, from their daily life;
2. Because everyone can choose the material considered appropriate for the experiment they designed;
3. Starting from opinions, ideas that students have and, through them, develop hypotheses to be confirmed with experiments;
4. The teacher behaves like a coach, a tutor who observes, helps if necessary, leaving the students free to conduct the experiments as they designed;
5. Students are the active part; everyone is involved in research, exchanges information, suggests ideas;
6. I think the evaluation of the activity is very good because they start from observation and they come to a conclusion supported by facts;
7.The students' hypotheses follow the first point of the scientific method: observation; I believe that my students would have come to the same conclusion;
8. To develop the critical sense, one of the most important competences;
9. The aim should be to share the results obtained, and what has been learned from them, to compare them with the starting hypotheses - another cornerstone of the scientific method.

1)Students need to be reconnect with prior knowledge. I usually give them a questions or introduce lesson with a video or image.

2)Students should be able to use instruments they need during the lesson, because they are familiar with them.

3)They should reflect and make hypotheses about a problem and then project a protocol to follow.

4)Teacher is a facilitator, a guide and he must observe their work and give formative assessment during the way

5)Students should organize their work and distribuite roles into the team work. They give and receive feedback about their procedure

6)I think that formative assessment and peer evaluation are effective in laboratory investigation

7) I think that each group could have a personal hypotheses, because students need to explore a way in a topic that other don't hypothise.

8) It's important that students make their own general conclusion because they can verify their hypotheses or not and they can explain theyr point of view about a problem.

9)Final revision can give students key competences.

Marjeta, Slovenia

marjeta_decman — 2018-03-19 21:16:00 UTC

5. Students should find the best strategy, note taking, discussing.
6. Define the aim of last class, they have repeated what they did.
7. Hypothesis were different, because they did not have a lot of knowledge about starch. It would be similar by my students.
8. It is important to take notes of what we see or read. They had to make their own general conclusions.
9. Wrong hypothesis can become a new source of investigation. Students can see what they have been learned

Voinea-Axinte Costica, Romania

2018-03-20 08:08:44 UTC

1. I motivate students at the beginning of the lesson, presenting them with the objectives of the lesson, a brief presentation of the studied notions needed for the theme to be studied, and a presentation of how to evaluate the lesson's activities.
2. Students should have at their disposal the necessary equipment. This equipment would need to be found on each bank and be transferred to the survey / work sheet.
3. Pupils must start with tasks 2 - 3 - 4 for about the task context to be fulfilled.
4. The role of the teacher while students were working has changed from transmitter to knowledge facilitator, using dialogue and cooperation in the relationship with students. This teacher will be able to co-ordinate the educational process so that all pupils reach the set objectives and will also be able to help students build individual work capacities and use what they have acquired.
5. The role of students during their work is to actively engage in the learning process, achieving permanent integration and resurrection of the experiment, which gives the knowledge an accentuated operational character. Students have the initiative to make decisions, providing a much deeper level of understanding about the events and phenomena studied while motivating students to carry out the proposed activities.
6. Activities enable self-evaluation, peer evaluation, evaluation becomes motivating and not stressful for the pupil, it makes it possible to highlight the pupil's progress in learning, allows the student to assess the student's analysis, synthesis and selection ability and allows the teacher to see concretely what one knows and what the evaluator can do .
7. Student hypotheses are different in the movie you watched because the pupils had little knowledge of starch. My students think she would not have better answers.
8. It is very important for students to develop an ultimate goal in order to achieve self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and even to have a result of useful reflection activity.
9. Students can identify, then compare, synthesize and reflect on experience
which they had during the investigation. Skills developed through investigation can be enhanced by connecting with other elements of science teaching,
such as critical thinking.

Lucia Italy

2018-03-20 09:50:21 UTC

9. Type of data sharing can confirm or deny the initial theory

Paola, Italy

paolacannadabartoli — 2018-03-20 17:40:29 UTC

1. Using day-to-day life materials motivate students and doesn't discourage them as unkown substances could do
2. To avoid influencing the choice students will make
3. Students start focusing on the topic and then propose hypotesis
4,5. Teacher observes;
students are the "actors", they're" building up" the activity; trying and retrying some of them figure out that iodine solution is the one to use
6. The process rather than the result is evaluated
7. My students would probably formulate the same 3 or 4 hypotesis
8. Students should learn to critically listen/watch/read any kind of source/information
9. The teacher wants to evaluate what the whole class has learned and make his students understand the need to share results

Nicola, Malta

nixy_port — 2018-03-20 18:28:01 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

I generally try to motivate students in my lesson by providing them with a problem or simply by giving them a challenge. Students should always be motivated using examples and situations that they can come across on a regular basis. Sometimes I try come up with a funny situation that engages students simply because its a silly situation.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Sometimes when students are given the list of equipment without even wanting to we'll already be guiding them as to what they have to do and use. So in order for them to feel free in whatever method they choose it is better to leave it up to them (within reason).

3.Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
By making them stary from those tasks it helps the students to get used to the group dynamics and get their thoughts in order.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
The teacher's role is to simply observe the groups and enjoy seeing them working together. Some students may feel that they need the teacher's reassurance at some stages, so in that case an encouraging word may go a long way.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?
The student's role is to focus and enjoy experimenting with the task at hand. They should write down their results and observations in an organised manner, and possibly be allowed to record their results by taking pictures too should they come up with the idea.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Its important that students learn how to evaluate and discuss what they have learned and where they struggled. From the video its also good that students felt comfortable to admit their difficulties.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
I was impressed with their revised hypothesis. What worries me is that not all students will be able to come up with such detailed hypotheses. The weaker students may struggle and their hypotheses may remain rather basic.

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
I think its important in order for students to make their own link between what they learnt via the investigation and what they learnt from the video.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?
The aim of the final revision is there for students to consolidate the knowledge and skills that they learnt. It is vital to conclude such activities in this way so that students will leave the lesson knowing that they have accomplished all the learning outcomes for that lesson.

ANALYSIS OF CLASSROOM IMPLEMENTATIONS_2ND EXAMPLE
1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
You can do it with an interesting question, a video, a photo or a little demonstration related to the topic.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Students should decide what strategy are going to follow and what lab equipment is needed.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
They tests their previous knowledge and then they will be able to verify their hypotheses.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
He is just watching them.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?
They are taking care of the project.
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Students can check their results comparing with their partners'.

7.What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
I guess the hypotheses would be the same. Students will come up with two options.
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
Students shared a part of the instruction but in the end they have to think by themselves trying to explain their final conclusions.
9. What was the aim of the final revision?
The aim of the final revision is to check what they have learned and to correct if there is a mistake.

Alexia, Malta

2018-03-21 11:41:10 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

The topic introduced must in some way link to students’ prior knowledge or experience. It is also important to foster a healthy class room environment allowing students to feel comfortable participating and taking risks within the activity. Questions encouraging discussion can also help engage students. Classroom techniques such as think-pair-share or mini whiteboards might also be helpful especially if students are new to this approach.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

Students were to identify it themselves.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? *

Students need to have outlined their procedure before being able to determine which apparatus they require. Planning is a very important aspect allowing for a smooth procedure of the experiment.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

The teacher has taken on a facilitator role providing feedback and asking further questions to prompt students.

5. What was the students’ role during their work

Students were in control of their learning process. This allows for a more meaningful and authentic learning experience which also mirrors the work of scientists.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Evaluation is a key aspect during inquiry. Students need to look back on their process and produce conclusions.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

Hypothesis were varied, which is appreciated as students do not shy away and just agree with a student’s previous hypothesis. My students are also quite used to producing various hypothesis.

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

Students need to interpret and provide explanations for the observations or data. Apart from being an integral part of the procedure, this develops critical thinking skills.

9. What is the aim of the final revision

A final revision would be helpful to close the activity in order to consolidate what has been learnt while identifying which objectives or targets (whether those related to knowledge as well as skills) have been attained through this activity.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?
To consolidate their learning

Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece

psaridou — 2018-03-21 13:53:47 UTC

1. You can motivate students by making them think about what they will be thought. Everyday things can be brought into class.
2. Give the students choices to use the materials they want.
3. In order for a student to know the procedure he/she has to follow, a plan should be given to them.
4. I believe that a teacher's role should be to guide or help only when he/she is asked to.
5. Students have to do all kind of roles. Search. find. explore . wanter ....
6.Activity evaluation is very much needed since students will talk about the problems they faced and they will evaluate the whole procedure.
7. I found the hypotheses of those students interestins. However, I believe that my students will probably have thought differently (easier ways).
8. Every student has different way of thinking but they might actually end to the same.
9. The final revision's aim was for srudents to express themselves through their findings. I think it was intresting for them.

Floriana - Italy

2018-03-21 17:35:27 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the lesson?
It is essential to ask the key question. I ask a productive question to push the students towards a work of reflection.
2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record? Inquiry is based on reflecting and discussing. The teacher can present different materials, but students must choose the right one for their hypotheses.
3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
Students must collect the appropriate information, identify strategies and variables, evaluate options, formulate hypotheses.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
The teacher encourages the exchange of ideas, respect and mutual listening in discussions. It reacts positively to student contributions.
5. What was the students’ role during their work?
The students reflect, write in the notebook, access the materials for experimentation, work in groups, realize the experiment, express their ideas, listen to each other, observe.
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
The students indicate what was observed and how it was done, justify the conclusions. They accept alternative explanations and modify their ideas in the light of the results.
7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
students communicate their naive ideas. Perhaps even my students would express their ideas and curiosity.
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
It favors the comparison between the conclusions formulated by the students with the expert knowledge.
9. What was the aim of the final revision?
Return to the class a summary of the work done by linking key concepts with the ideas of the boys. Help students use scientific terms and master them.

Andrea Checchetti

2018-03-21 19:13:23 UTC

1. Inquiry based learning begins with an open question that aims to intrigue students. in this case the teacher asks to find out which foods contain starch.
2. Students find themselves wondering what they know about starch, its properties and how to recognize its presence in food. They must therefore understand how to distinguish the foods that contain starch or not.
3. To be able to respond and classify the foods that the teacher has selected, the students must perform a practical task.
4. The teacher observes the groups and the way they operate.
5: Students organize themselves, choose the material to answer the question.
6. Students realize that a variation in the color of the food surface is obtained when they use one of the three solutions (iodine) and associate these variations with the presence of starch.
7. The students' hypothesis is correct and would have been the same for my students.
8. In this case the students were given the opportunity to observe what happens to the foods when they are put in contact with each of the three solutions. The different behavior allowed them to draw conclusions.
9. To make a synthesis of what they have learned on the subject, on the recognition of starch in food and its function

Gilda/Italy

gilda_fiengo — 2018-03-21 19:26:14 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

I can motivate my students goading their curiosity on the subject of the lesson and using key question.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

The equipment isn’t written in the lab record because students will choose adapt materials, among materials that teacher give them, to prove their hypotesis

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?

Students should start with task 2, 3, 4 so they can elaborate their procedures, identify variables, write hypothesis.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

Teacher’s role while students worked was to observ their work.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?

Students work to test their hypothesis

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Students describe what they have observed and their conclusion. Some of them change initial hypothesis after experimentation. They study Chemistry through a experimental way.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

I think students’ hypothesis are very valid in consideration they don’t know anythink about Chemistry. My students, who know Chemistry, could use similar hypothesis

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

In this way they can comparate their conclusion and then formulate a class conclusion.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?

The aim of final revision was to consolidate student’s learning

Barbara, Poland

2018-03-21 21:16:52 UTC

1. Aski them interesting questions, use key questions, show an interesting movie, photo, everyday life products related to the lesson.
2. To motivate students to think, make decisions independently: what is needed to carry out the experiment.
3. To connect your current knowledge with the exercises to be performed and verify the hypothesis.
4. The teacher watched the students, accompanied them, listened to their reflections, asked auxiliary questions.
5. Students performed exercises, discussed, watched, and recorded in the work sheet.
6. They were active and open.
7. Their hypotheses were varied. My students would put up a similar work in a group.
8. To improve the drawing of conclusions after the analysis of various sources.
9. Discuss, compare, improve your results, conclusions against other groups.

Michael, Ireland

1. motivate students with an unusual situation such as a table of food
2 dont list material to allow students freedom to select what equipment they think they need.
3 Start with task 2 to allow time for them to think and plan.
4 teachers role - relax and let them at it.
5 students role -trial and error, figure it out themselves.
6 some students had correct hypothesis
7 my students would have varied hypothesis . Trial and error allowed hypothesis to be developed.
8 to compare ideas
9 to check their learning and to suggest possible real world uses for the protocol

Tanja, Austria

2018-03-22 08:46:46 UTC

How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

The teacher is a good example. He don’t numerate the food products in the bowls, he orders the pupils to go there, check them and tell the class. He embeds the pupils.

What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

I am sure they will write down all the food provided. Maybe they forgot about the things they don’t use like the bowls or something.

Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? *

They should start with it because it will show after the experiments what the pupils learned from the experiments. If they write down what they know about starch it is a sign for their state of knowledge about it. After the testing of their hypothesis they can correct themselves by their own experience. They learn which food contains starch and which do not. To write down they hypothesis is also important, because it is the base for the experiment.

What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

The teacher goes around the class room and guides the investigation.

What was the students’ role during their work?

They experience by themselves which food contains starch and which materials are proper for testing the existence of starch.

What can you say about the activity evaluation?

I think the teacher did it in a good way. He sums up the hypothesis from the beginning and then told the pupils the right answer. But he is not just telling them. One pupil had the right hypothesis and he let him write it on the blackboard.

What do you think about students hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

The hypothesis were good. I am surprised that one of them already wrote down the right one. They have a good scientific thinking. I cannot say anything about my students, because I am not teaching at the moment.

Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

I think this is important because they start thinking by themselves. This is the reason why I like inquiry-based learning. The pupils don’t get facts from the teacher to memorize, they experience things by themselves.

What was the aim of the final revision?

I think the aim was that the pupils sum up the results and that they replay their new knowledge about starch. The teacher becomes a review of the knowledge of his pupils.

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

By telling them that we are going to learn something new by researching and becoming young scientists.
2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Let the students findout which equipment is suitable for the experiment they are working on.
3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
To know for themselves How much they know about the experiment and based on it what do they assume. Is their assumption going to be true or false. If false then they get a chance to improve and understand.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
The teacher needs to go around the class and see if they are doing their work properly, if they are on the right track.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?
To concentrate and note down each reaction and not to quit. They need to try to get to a conclusion.
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation?
The teacher did this activity in a very good way. He made the students think and analyse. He also listened to each students hypothesis and asked one student with right answer to write it on the board.
7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
My students may have a different hypothesis. They may not respond the same way as the students in this video have reacted. But it will be a very interactive and interesting activity to do with them.
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
I think this will trigger their minds and make them more eager to find out if their hypothesis is Right and if not then what is the right answer.
9. What was the aim of the final revision?
The aim was to teach them a particular thing by themselves concluding on it and also improving their results, and learning a topic in altogether different way.

1. You can motivate your students when you propose a problem or you choose a topic which have something to do with their daily life.

2. Students should feel like real scientists. They have to choose on their own which lab material they need. At this way, the teacher encourages independence.

3. First they have to create hypotheses and then they have to confirm or cancel their statement.

4. The teacher is observing the process.

5. The students are investigating.

6. The students can share and compare their results with the other groups.

7. I guess, my students hypotheses would be the same.

8. Students should make their own conclusion to rethink what they have observed and found out.

9. The final revision makes that the students think about the working process and reflect on the experiences they have made.

1. by student involvement, teasers...
2. students should be involved more actively and choose/find out what they need - actice thinking rather than passive
3. in order to find out students unclouded actual/prior knowledge
4. observer, helper if needed
5. scientiest, active, questioning...
6. good involvement
7. little prior knowledge
8. & 9. combining prior and post knowledge, comparision with other (scientists), trial and error, rethinking ideas and hypothesis

1. Aski them big questions, use key questions, without a easy solution. As a mission.
2. Feel like real scientist, independent and feel in charge of the investigation.
3. Important: Previous knowledge. And I'll try to connect with the current knowledge. For example, I may started with the task 2 and give the students more time.
4. The teacher watched the differents teams, listened to their reflections, and the most important think: asked extra-questions.
5. Students did exercises, recorded in the work sheet. To sum up work as a scientifics.
6. They share, talked and were active and collaborative.
7. Theres no many differents with my students. Their hypotheses were diversed.
8. They gave the opportunity to improve, think again and finally achieve the same resolt.
9. To Improve the learning process through different activities as discuss, compare conclusions,etc

Marzia, Italy

marzia_can — 2018-03-22 16:40:10 UTC

1- Asking them to help you to solve a problem, to explore something they
or investigating something they have to deal with every day;
2- to encourage their independence and make them feel the protagonists of the work to be done
3- to stimulate active thinking and in order to be able to compare the preconceptions with the conclusions at the end of the work
4- Teacher observes students'investigations, and help who need
5- 6- Students are the main actors, they are experimenting, testing their hypotesis, taking notes, building their knowledge
7- My students could think similar hypoteses
8-9 To learn something else about which something they have deal with during the activity

chiara_garulli — 2018-03-22 17:07:34 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
I try to give them an aim, using daily facts or problem in which they can be involved.
2.What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
I do in this way, students select the material according to their own experimental plan. We have the Prof Garulli box, they know that they can use all inside the box, but they have to choose.
3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
These tasks are focused on reflections. Students should recall knowledges to develop their experimental protocol and this step has to be done before the project.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
Give help, if required...
5. What was the students’ role during their work?
Collaborate in the group, comunicate to find a common strategies to solve the problem.
Think together about obtained results.
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Guys reflect on their own acquired knowledge, I think it is a good way to make students aware on their own active role in learning.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
I am working in lab, especially with two classes, here my students are able to make hypotheses as the guys in the video, some of them are able to design simple experiments considering controls and are able to distinguish qualitative and quantitative data...Now we are working on this aspect...I am proud of them, and I hope to learn many things to improve my competences on inquiry teaching method.
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
To understand their comprehnsion
9. What was the aim of the final revision?

Probably the aim is that pupils point out the conclusion and formalize the built learning, in order to acquire awareness. On the other hand teacher could understand the efficacy of his lesson path.

7. I am not teaching at the moment, but I think the students in the video did a good job.

8. There is an increase in the learning effect, if they draw the conclusions on their own. Maybe they would just copy the answers without thinking about it, when the teacher forms the sentences.

9. Students reflect on their work, while the teacher gets a quick overview if his learning objective is reached.

Lidia, R

lidiaristea2004 — 2018-03-24 12:59:40 UTC

1. I motivate the students at the beginning of the lesson, through the presenting the objectives of the lesson, a brief presentation of the notions studied necessary for the theme to be studied and a presentation of how to evaluate the lesson's activities.
2. In order to accomplish the proposed activity, pupils must have the necessary equipment that must be made available to them and must be included in the worksheet.
3. To be contextually accomplished, students must begin with 2-3-4 tasks.
4. During the students' work, the role of the teacher can be changed from the information transmitter to the knowledge facilitator through dialogue and cooperation in the relationship with students.
The teacher will be able to coordinate the educational process so that all pupils reach the set goals and also help students build their individual work skills and use what they have acquired.
5. Throughout the activities, pupils have the role of actively engaging in the learning process that can be accomplished through permanent integration and active participation in experiments, which gives the knowledge a strong operational character.
6. Activities enable self-evaluation, evaluation and it becomes motivating and not stressful for the pupil, because it can make it possible to highlight the student's progress in the learning process, allows the student to assess his / her ability to analyze, synthesize and select and also allows the teacher to see in concrete terms what the evaluator knows and can do.
7. In the video I watched the pupils' hypotheses are different, because students have little knowledge of starch. I do not think my students' answers could be better.

8. It is very important for students to develop a final goal to achieve self-evaluation, evaluation and also to have a useful result of reflection.
9. Students can identify, compare, synthesize and reflect the experience they have experienced during the survey. Skills developed through investigation can be improved by connecting with other elements of scientific teaching, such as critical thinking.

Beate, Austria

2018-03-24 15:51:30 UTC

4. – Observing

- give help

5. The students think about how to solve a problem, plan and carry out.

9. To show the achievements to everybody and review the results

Helen Mihalatou, Greece

helensefer — 2018-03-24 16:12:42 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
I usually try to motivate student’s curiosity through a short discussion on the subject under consideration using examples from real life applications. It is easier for them to respond and react when they are asked about something that is applicable to their know routine. They also feel enthusiastic since they can participate in the converstion.
2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Teacher allows for trial and error testing so that students can build their own confidence in building a protocol. However, this means that students were familiar with basic lab equipment.
3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? *
Teacher will be informed of students’ former knowledge on the subject under consideration. The formation of hypotheses encourages students to become researchers and consider an inquiry. They have to present their state of thinking.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
He was circulating among groups as an observer and a facilitator.
5. What was the students’ role during their work?
They were implementing their own investigation, e.g. chose the right equipment, perform the experiment and take notes on the procedure and the results, in a collaborative way.
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Students were asked to communicate the results of the activity to the class and to reflect on their work during the implementation of their task. They had the freedom to recapitulate on the whole procedure collaboratively, especially the results of their experiments, and by this way become aware of the emerging new knowledge.
7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
I heard all of the common hypotheses that I would have expected from my students in that age.
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
By letting them to express their own ideas, their self-confidence can be enhanced. Teacher becomes aware of their critical thinking and their capability of extracting conclusions in a scientific way. They can also be aware of their inquiring activity and build confidence in research activity. Last but not least, the teacher can understand if students watched the video conscientiously.
9. What was the aim of the final revision?
To communicate their activity in the class, to reflect on their whole work and to the new knowledge that is to be acquired through their point of view.

Even if our students aren’t enough motivated to being there. We can motivated to explore with food that they know, and simple things they can explain about life.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

When we talk about inquiry our students could take a lot of different ways to make any process, then the materials could be anything possible.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?

If they can take something easy at te beginning we could be sure, we engagement their attention.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

The teacher’s role were observe.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?

Inquiry is about stay exploring, also it’s about experimentation and let them get wrong.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Always we are obligated to make an activity interesting, but also we have to plan to ensure chemistry problems were solved.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

Im sure it could be different because we can get a lot of information about the experiment.

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

Of course it important to motivated to explore and get the risk of get wrong.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?

1. We can attract their attention with original ideas. it's also interesting stimulate an active debate. We can also propose to students to become "experts" of a topic.
2. To offer them the possibility of choice. Choices build responsibility and commitment.
3. The first part of the Laboratory report is focused on the students reflection: What do they know? What do they predict? What strategy they think to use?.
4. the teacher leaves the students free to choose the material they need, goes around the classroom and observes the groups.
5. The students organize themselves, they choose the material they need, they reflect and write on e notebook their observations and considerations, they seem to listen to each other. I liked the surprise expression of one of the boys while he was doing his experiment!!
6. The prof carries out a debriefing by asking what was done during the previous session and for each answer by one student he asks another one to deepen the previous answer. Then he asks the pupils to share their results.
I think this assessment allows students to develop critical thinking, respect others' ideas, to take responsibility.
7. I think their hypotheses are interesting. My students are far more messy, I'm not sure they would come to a conclusion without being guided.
8. The students acquire greater maturity in the learning process.
9. Let the students make general conclusions.

1) By giving a few examples that our students do not know about the subject, or the relationship between an important problem and the topic today.
2) It may have been done to guide learners to learning based on the invention. thus ensuring that students are confident. develop feelings of belonging.
3) They can explain themselves more easily within the group. It allows you to work with your peers. it will make them more comfortable working.
4) The teacher was in the directing position. All of the studies were carried out by the students. made brief conceptual explanations. a direct student-centered study was conducted.
5) the quality of the students who research and invent themselves has increased. discussing their own ideas.
6) students made experiments in the study. As a result of the experiment, they formed an idea. they created evidence to defend their own ideas.
7) Some of the student hypotheses were quite meaningful. pupils with preliminary knowledge gave immediate information on color change. A good observation gave good results.
8) they have a belief in preliminary information that will reveal their trust in their own knowledge.
9) Thanks to the recent revision, it was a tool to improve students' outcomes and discussion skills and improve their curriculum.

1. You let them ask questions and show you what they are curious about. It is good to include an element of mystery and not give the lesson away from the very first minute. It is also important to use familiar objects to highlight the relevance of science to everyday life.

2. In line with above, it is good not to give away where you would like to lead them to. Equipment names would give them too many hints and the fund aspect of the investigation would be lost.

3. These tasks provide some parameters for the students thinking process but at the same time allow the students to design their own practical session and discover results themselves.

4. The teacher takes a backseat and gets involved very little. He gives the students space and makes them rely on him very little. This helps them make an extra effort in their thought process.

5. Students are very actively engaged and responsible for their own learning.

6. The class discussion was a good way to do review the students’ position in their thought process mid-way through the lesson. It is likely that following the discussion many students will remember how to test for starch.

7. There were some really interesting hypotheses put forward. This kind of session also helps teachers understand whether there are any students who have any misconceptions. My students would probably come with a range simple to more complex hypotheses just like in this class.

8. It gives them a purpose for watching the video as well as a reason to follow and try to understand what they are watching. The use of secondary evidence like this video is also a good source for IBSE activities.

9. Consolidation and recap which is very important for the teacher to check understanding and for the students to leave class with important take-aways.

1.We motivate pupils with problems that are related to their everyday life and are interesting to them.
2.The equipment was not being written in the lab record with the intention of letting the students independently choose the equipment they use independently, using their own thinking.
3.Prior to the experiment, the pupils attached themselves to their previous knowledge, on the basis of which they made predictions.
4.The teacher observed, encouraged and assisted the pupils during their work, if they needed it.
5.Pupils were put in an active role. First, they had to consider and make a plan for how to solve the problem, to consult each other, to explore, to participate, to write important information.
6.Through activities, pupils not only learned the specific content of chemistry effectively, but also strengthened their communication, organizational and collaborative skills.
7.Creation of hypotheses depends on student's previous knowledge, skills, experience in research work, their motivation, creativity.
8.If the student makes his own conclusion, he summarizes his findings and results, and links the knowledge he gained through the concrete activity, with the theory.
9.The aim of the final revision is to summarize the acquired knowledge.

Špela, Slovenia

rozman_spela — 2018-03-25 15:42:39 UTC

1. The best motivation I think the teacher can use is real life experience - it can be only a reference to it, a video of the phenomena or introductory experiment that introduces a problem.
2. By not giving the students a list of lab equipment the teacher makes them think about the protocol of the experiment. That way they are thinking of what they will do in the process and what will they need to do it.
3. The first 3 tasks help students to think about the things they already know about the phenomena and it gets them more prepared for the work ahead.
4. The teachers role, while the students work is observing and answering questions when they arise. The teacher is not "visible" in this part at all.
5. The students had to develop hypothesis and than evaluate it. They had to decide on the protocol, pick their lab equipment, take food samples and analise them. They had to write down their observations and conclusions.
6. The evaluation of the activity is important for students to compare their work with others and maby get a different perspective. It/s important for the teacher to, because that way he gets the insight in to students conclusions.
7. I thnk that some hypothesis were very good, some more complex than others. I think students and classes all over the world have that incommon.
8. By asking them to write conclusions they are forced to really listen and think about the content of the given material.
9. The aim of the final revision is to make a conclusion of the activity and summarize by giving each student a chance to express his opinion.

Doinita B., Romania

1. The best motivation is the connection with real life. For example, the teacher may approach the case of a person who is allergic to starch in food.

2. The equipment to be used is not specified in the laboratory record because the teacher aims to have students themselves formulate an investigation protocol and then, depending on it, to choose what equipment they will use.

3. Tasks 2 - 3 - 4 aim to give students the opportunity to update their previous knowledge of the subject to be investigated.

4. The role of the teacher while students are working is quite invisible: the teacher observes and encourages students, suggests them the way to go when they ask for help, helping them overcome obstacles by their own effort.

5. Students play an active role in the process of their own learning: they formulate assumptions, establish an investigation protocol, experiment, observe, collaborate, change ideas, formulate conclusions.

6. The evaluation of the activity highlights both the accumulation of new knowledge related to the subject of chemistry (starch-containing foods), as well as the level of development of the key abilities of communication, collaboration, teamwork, responsible solving of the assumed tasks, critical thinking.

7. The hypotheses formulated by students reflect the level reached by the discipline of Chemistry. I think my students would have basically formulated the same assumptions, simpler or more complex depending on their own level of knowledge in chemistry.

8. The formulation of one's own general conclusion by each student is very important because through this reflective thinking activity the connection between the new knowledge and the previous knowledge system is created and a practical perspective is gained on how to resolve creatively other similar problems by transferring knowledge and abilities.

9. Through the final revision, pupils set new knowledge, check them in relation to those expressed by colleagues, and consolidate them for transferring into similar / new contexts. For the teacher, the final revision is a summative evaluation sequence of the activity.

corkajana — 2018-03-25 22:23:22 UTC

How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

I am trying to formulate the research problem in an interesting way

What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

The student should be able to choose the right equipment.

Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?

The student must formulate a hypothesis, choose the appropriate procedure and choose the equipment.

What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

The teacher watched the students and watched the effects of the experiments

What was the students’ role during their work?

Students made experiments and commented among themselves.

What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Exercise teaches analytical thinking and using laboratory equipment.

What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

I think it would be similar.

Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

This allowed for better information storage.

What was the aim of the final revision?

The ultimate goal was to collect all the conclusions from experience and the text and film, which allowed for a better understanding of the importance of starch in human life.

I can show videos or give a question or demonstrate something without saying.2. Students should pick the right equipment3. Firstly, they must awareness problem and think.4.formulate a thesis, choose the procedure and equipment5. Teacher watched6. Students made experiments by themselves7. analytical thinking8. It would be nearly the same

1)I would try to explain the task as interesting as possible, maybe  including a story or video.
2)Students should be able to choose the right equipment.
3)To get the students to activate their prior knowledge and to test how much they already know. 
4)The teacher was the observer, went around and answered emerging questions. 
5)The students should be active, experimenting and hypothesizing. They were encouraged to work independently.  
6)Through the exercise, students learned how to use laboratory equipment and examine established hypotheses with an experiment.
7)I think the hypotheses were very similar or the same. 
8) This was important so that the students could think about it again and reflect on the content and consolidate the new knowledge. 
9)The aim was to get a final overview that summarizes everything and gives the students the opportunity to express their opinions.

Aleksandra Blazevska, Macedonia

prof_acka — 2018-03-26 12:03:10 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
Motivation is very important during inquiry learning, It can be done with using some mysterious experiment at the beginning of the activity. For example some colorful or explosive experiment who will catch student attention.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
In my opinion the reason is engaging students to do right decision

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? *
Before starting students should have plan of work.
4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
To coordinate them, to observe their work.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?
To follow the plan that Theydid before the start of the experiment, to cooperate between them selves, to make predictions
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Activity evaluation is very import to be done because in that way we summarize the experience of all students , we have discussion ( from point of study skills students get skills like ability of communication, cooperation, critical thinking ...)

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
There are no correct or wrong hypotheses, so probably mu students will have similar hypotheses
8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
Letting students to express their own conclusion has impact on their self confidence critical thinking, on one hand and on the other hand gives teacher opportunity to aware for students understanding about specific topics try the activity
9. What was the aim of the final revision?
In my opinion final revision has aim shearing conclusions and summaries knowledge

Anca, Romania

2018-03-26 14:34:17 UTC

1.I try to offer some examples applied in the daily life.
2. Is risky. Can be creative but if the time allotted is limited may favor the failure of the experiment.
3.Yes. Without them students often start to work on „something“ without knowing their task properly.
4. The role of teacher is facilitator
5. The students' role is to manage the entire activity.
6. The feed-back,evaluation and also the self evaluation, are very important and is a corrective tools. Can be used to fix some errors or to confirm the good results obtained.
7. I agree. Is important to have written hypotheses.
8.Depends of the task and of the group of students. If the level of the knowledge of the students are good or very good is easier. Different strategies must be applied.
9. Is necessary to get a overview at the end of the task/experiment performed. A conclusion and some extra explication are more than welcome.

How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
By giving open ended questions in real life situations. A mystery to solve can be highly motivating.

What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Equipment must be chosen by the students in order to perform the experiment

Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
These are orientation tasks that allow students to analyze the situation and look for prior knowledge.
What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
The teacher observes and facilitates the research, without giving answers

What was the students’ role during their work?
The students tried various solutions, working independently and documenting their findings

What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Evaluation must be carefully planned, with a comprehensive rubric that assesses chemistry skills along with soft skills like group work and critical thinking

What do you think about students‘ hypotheses?
The students' hypotheses were quite complex and reflected their knowledge of chemistry
Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
My students are a little younger, so I think the would produce simpler explainations, given their knowledge of chemistry
What was the aim of the final revision?

To put some order into the many hypotheses formulated by the students, to encourage confrontation between groups and make sure that all hypotheses are heard

Michela, Italy

michelapellizzari4 — 2018-03-27 15:46:25 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
By giving examples related to reality or open ended questions in real life situations.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
The students must make hypothesis and try to experiment them. Only at the end they can write the equipment they had choose and they had utilize to perform their experiment.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
These are clear question and orientation tasks that allow students to analyze the situation.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
The teacher helps students to become aware of their state of thinking, he observes and facilitates the research, without giving answers, the teacher suggests them the way to go when they ask for help

5. What was the students’ role during their work?
The students collaborate, they try various solutions, they work independently. They document their investigation protocol, their experiment observing phenomena, changing ideas, formulating conclusions.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

The teacher can do the Student’s skills evaluation using comprehensive rubrics and check lists. During the activity he can observe the student and he can take a lot of information about:

- Use the correct scientific language;

- Use problem-solving skills;

- Learn in a collaborative way;

- Respect and accept other student's opinion;

- Be active during group working;

- Learn to learn;

- Learn by doing;

- Critical and creative think;

- Do Self-evaluations and metacognitive reflections

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses?
The students' hypotheses reflected their knowledge of chemistry, and I think my student’s hypothesis would be the same or different, depending on their own level of knowledge in chemistry

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

The formulation of one's own general conclusion by each student is very important because through this reflection they can make several connections between the new knowledge and the previous knowledge and every student can critically think and every student can compare own hypothesis with other student's opinion or hypothesis and so raise the scientist knowledge about a situation.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?

The aim of final revision is to organize the ideas and to know that there are many ways to investigate a complex situation. The teacher can help the students to debrief and to restructure ideas, he can discovery mistakes, he can guide a discussion of these and he can engage the student in a new path of inquiry. In these moment every student can think about initially hypothesis and remake the conceptual framework of his path of knowledge.

2. to get them to form a hypothesis without any clues form equipment, to scaffold the start of the activity.
3. to focus them on the purpose of the activity, and to start them thinking
4. to observe, to guide with open ended questions
5. to develop a protocol using trial and error and observation
6. the students were able to talk out their results and get feed back from other groups. It allowed them to access their own work, and to question their observations. It also allowed them to recognise a variation in right answers
7. I think that they made reasonable hypotheses given the previous knowledge they had, my students may have given similar.

1) Let them guess which of the food examples contain starch.

2) The equipment is not written in the lab record because the pupils should come up with a method by themselves.

3) Because the students should develop a hypothesis by taking task 2, 3 and 4 which they evaluate later. The pupils should come up with an experiment by task 5 and think of the equipment they need to test their hypothesis at this point (which is task 1).

4) He went through the class and looked after some groups.

5) The did the experiments in groups and took notes of their observations.

6) I think it is a good activity because it approaches something the students are familiar with. We come across starch in our everyday lives for example on advertisements, food packaging or diet books. They activate what they know so far by guessing which product contains starch and learn a method to validate their assumptions through this activity.

7) Hypothesis before the experiment: M: If it contains starch it foams. J: If we add a specific reagent, starch becomes visible (comes apart). D: If the colour is changed, it contains starch.

Hypothesis after the experiment: J: If we add an iodine solution, the food product, which contains starch, changes its colour to blue, purple or dark green.

The hypothesis became more specific after the practical work. They have not considered that the different colours could indicate something.

8) Writing a conclusion affords cognitive effort from the pupils and leads therefore to better understanding of the topic than just writing down what the teacher is saying. It is also a good training for their listening skills which the students will need in their further educational career.

9) Snake: The pupils make visible what they learned in the last view chemistry lessons. By looking at the topics in this way we might prevent the students from asking themselves questions like “Why do I have to learn this?“ or from thoughts like “I will never use this again“. It is way more motivational to learn something when we know how this knowledge can affect our lives.

The students discover the materials that are going to be used by themselves
Teacher does not indicate the equipment they have to use. Students have diferent materials that can take and they take what they want.
Before making the worh they reflect on it, thinking of what they know by now.
Teachers role is passive. He only looks at the students but does not say anything.
Students are completly free with their work.
6 and 7, I can not answer without understanding the video.

a00902838 — 2018-03-28 23:06:40 UTC

1. By relating the topic of the class to everyday life.

2. To encourage note-taking.

3. So that the students pool their knowledge, form hypotheses and structure their inquiry.

4. The Teacher circulates and observes to get an idea of the students‘ work.

5. The students are asked to take ownership of their work.

6. All students came to the same conclusion despite their originally very different hypotheses.

7. The students merely said what they expect, but they didn’t justify their expctation. It would have been better to ask the students to also explain their reasoning behind their hypotheses.

8. In science it is important to be able to draw appropriate conclusions form experiments and literature, so it is important for the students to practice this.

9. By sharing what they have learned, the students clarified their conclusions and the teacher got an overview of the students‘ learning experience.

Konstantin, Vienna

2018-03-29 08:48:28 UTC

1. By showing the students products which many of them consume everyday.

2. So that students may decide for themselves what they are going to use.

3. He wants the students to use their knowledge on the subject to formulate their own hypothesis.

4. The teacher only observes the students.

5. The students have to think how they can test their hypothesis.

6. The students reflect on their observations and discuss their results in the whole class

7. I believe the hypothesis the students came up with are reasonable, they improve upon their previous hypothesis.

8. Generally it is important for the students to draw their own conclusions, which are based on experiments (in science) or previous knowledge/experiences (in life). They should learn to analyze critically and by scientific inquiry improve upon their previous knowledge.

9. During the final revision the teacher gains an insight into the students mind and possibly their learning process by them sharing their experiences.

Gaia. Italia

gaialombardi69 — 2018-03-30 08:35:09 UTC

1) By connecting an intriguing question to pupils' daily life. Curiosity is the first step
2) Materials can be poor, recycled or of common use. Pupils can choose from different materials
3) Because everyone of them has background knowledge and the teacher is aware of the differences present in the class
4) The teacher circulates the classroom, observing each group to get an idea about how they are planning their work. The teacher's role is not passive, but also not intrusive and the students feel free of taking responsibility of their work.
5) The students make an hypothesis and then have to test them
6) the students presents their hypothesis and their test to the class, in large group, each experiment is discussed and assessed.
7) I think that the hypothesis formulated is quite correct
8) In Science, drawing conclusion from experiments and previous literature is very important (differently, any scientific research would not have reason to exists): in an enquiry-based approach is basic to teach students how to correctly draw their own conclusion from what observed and experimented.
9) The final revision has the aim of resume and clarify processes and sharing experiences,

1. I would give them a story that contains a situation from real life.
2. So that students can choose alone what kind of equipment they need.
3. So that teacher can know their basic ideas and knowledge about starch.
4. Teachers role is to circulate around classroom and observe how students work. They can also provide some kind of help, direct them on the right path in experiment.
5. Students collaborate between themself, make notes of their work, comment their results, make conclusions.
6. It's very important to evaluate this activity so that students can see and learn what was the best approach while conducting an experiment.
7. Students had very good hypotesis and I think a lot of mine would have the same ones.
8. So that the teacher can check if students really understood that lesson.
9. To check all conclusions students have made and to share them with the rest of the class.

1. Ask something that connects their own life with topic of the lesson.
2. In the beginning they don’t know yet what they need. They have to get familiar with the task and then decide themselves what they need to solve the problem.
3. This is a logical beginning of solving a problem: think about what you already know, then make predictions, set up hypothesis.
4. He was observing and not disturbing. It’s important for safety and scaffolding, if necessary.
5. They had to work in groups, organise their work, share tasks, discuss etc.
6. Evaluation is important because then students think again on the task and analyse their work. It helps to understand and remember.
7. I think they would have been similar. Students have their previous experiences and they use this knowledge (foaming, changing colour...).
8. It was good for the bigger picture. In science it’s important to see that others have come to the same conclusions.
9. To make sure everybody (slower ones as well) has understood and it helps memorising. Students can listen to each other and learn from each other.

1 - How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
Put them in face of a problem as follows :

v What is starch?

v How to higlight starch into foods?

Students propose many reagents to be used for highlighting starch into foods through hypothesis

2 - What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

To push students to think about the right reagent to be used for the experiment

3 - Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?

In order to find out the problem of the lecon, so that to learn effectively the right regents to be used and discover the use of the other reagents

4 - What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

Teachers role is to follow , observe how students work , give advices when needed as they are using chemicals , direct them and answer to their curiosity until to reach the right path in experiment.

5- What was the students’ role during their work?

Students collaborate between themself, take notes of their work, comment their results, make conclusions by completing the shared document

6 - What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

It's very important to evaluate this activity so that students can learn , observe , and decisions about the stipulated hypothesis and make conclusion while doing an experiment.

7- what do you think about students hypothesis ? would the hypotheses of your students be different

the elucidated hypotheses go in parallel with the context onf the experience . I don't think that my students hypothees
will differ from these ones

8- Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

To communicate for well results and knowledge sharing

9 - What was the aim of the final revision?

To check all conclusions made by all groups, to group them in one coherent complete conclusions then to share them with the hole students of the class

Orsola, Italy

orsola_parisi58 — 2018-03-31 14:14:17 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the lesson?
Bring examples of real life
2. What can be the reason why the equipment is not written to the laboratory register?
By leaving them free to choose the equipment to be used for the investigation, for this reason it will be added at the end of the experiment.
3. Why should students start with activities 2 - 3 - 4?
Because they are clear questions and precise rules to follow that will help the students analyze the situations
4. What was the role of the teacher while the students worked?
Stimulate and encourage students, suggest the path if they ask for help, motivate and support them.
5. What was the role of the students during their work?
Collaborate together, look for solutions even individually, document the entire work process, formulate solutions.
6. What can you say about the evaluation of the activities (from the point of view of general study skills and subsequently of Chemistry)?
Evaluating their attitude, their way of collaborating, the contribution to the work of investigation, the proposed solutions and the use of specific language, telling them the progress made will help them to get more involved in the future.
7. What do you think about the students' hypotheses?
The hypotheses made by each student are related to their knowledge and skills of the subject (chemistry)

8. Why do you think it is important for students to be asked to draw their general conclusions from video / text?
We must consider very important the hypothesis of each learner, so that all others can reflect, coming to confirm or reject the hypothesis made, thus fueling the discussion by enhancing their critical knowledge and skills.
9. What was the purpose of the final review?
Feed feedback on their work done.

Miguel Angel, Burgos (Spain)

kapy83 — 2018-03-31 22:55:02 UTC

1. Showing examples from the real world and that are close to the student.
2. The first part is to find out which equipment will be necessary to use.
3. That helps the student to focus on the task.
4. Encourage and guide the student.
5. Look for a solution working collaboratively. Take note of the observations.
6. Evaluate how the student develops the task.
7. It is about starting from hypotheses to gradually approach the answer, guided by the teacher.
8. Each student and each team can have their own hypotheses, and must discuss them with the other students and receive feedback from the teacher.
9. Make a review between all the teams and the teacher.

Joyce, India

sec_coordinator — 2018-04-01 17:33:24 UTC

1. Students can be motivated by posing the given situation as a problem so as to arouse their curiosity.
2. The equipment is not specified to give students the freedom to follow their own designs of experimentation.
3. 2-3-4 are are the initial guiding suggestions.
4. Teacher must circulate from group to group to understand the differnt approaches used by the students.
5. Students use trial and error method , observe results and reformulate hypotheses if findings donot work.
6. once students evaluate and find their activity correct they proceeds.
7. Initially all hypotheses are different, as they rework convergence of hypotheses is automatically obtained.
8.General conclusions open up the pathway for specific conclusions
9. Aim of all hypotheses is convergence of ideas towards the appropriate solution.

Zhelyazka, Bulgaria

janeraikova — 2018-04-01 20:08:49 UTC

1.Shows items they encounter in their everyday lives.
2 In a scientific study the scientist must independently select the equipment
3. Because they help students to analyze the situation and have a specific character
4.It motivates them, encourages them, helps them with advice, if necessary
5They observe the result, record, work together.
6.Students present their results and discuss. This helps develop critical thinking and be responsible.
7. Maybe yes.
8.They can use different sources of information and can compare their results with certain ones. This raises critical thinking.

marijadikic73 — 2018-04-01 20:57:16 UTC

1.By giving students the responsible role of adult researchers.
2. The reason is that students were expected to find the way and conclude what they need from the equipment.
3. The first question is about equipment, while the following questions are related to the pre-knowledge that students have and which is good to repeat before the beginning.
4. The teacher only monitored the activities.
5. The students were researching, concluding, guiding notes.
6. Repetitio est mater studiorum
7. Hypotheses were expected
8. Because they have independently reached the goal of the activity and wrote it.
9. Effective listing of key terms

Pinelopi, Greece

2018-04-02 07:06:58 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

By connecting the activity with real life and with students’ experiences or by posing them a problem to be solved.

2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

Because students are meant to find out themselves the equipment they need for the experiment.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?

In order to remember what they already know about the subject and form hypotheses about it.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

He was around them, available to offer help and advice.

5. What was the students’ role during their work?

They worked in groups, each student had a specific role and they were collaborating about their experiment.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Students were presenting their results and were commenting on them. They had time to reflect and think critically.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

As the hypotheses depend on each students’ experiences and knowledge, some of them were expected while others not. The same goes for my students’ hypotheses.

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

Sharing of ideas is very important as students communicate with each other and compare their conclusions and the reasons why they reached them.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?

Sharing the results and receiving feedback.

Cristina Raposo, Portugal

ciraposo — 2018-04-02 18:56:13 UTC

1.How can you motivate our students at the beginning of the class? By challenging them to discover what is going to happen during the class without disclosing many details, making them curious.

2. What can be the reason or equipment not being written in the lab record? In order to make the pupils decide which equipment they have to use and how. Give them independence of choice.

3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? To make them think about what they already know and how it can be used to help prepare for the upcoming activity by asking a question that will be their Hypothesis.

4. What was the teacher’s role while students worked? He was just supervising the work the pupils were doing while being there to help if needed but not interfering with it.

5. What was the students’ role during their work? They were actively asking questions, organising their work, discussing strategies and conclusions.

6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)? Very simple but pupils thought about their own work and made conclusions out of it.

7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different? The student’s hypothesis was very basic and quite simple. Probably some of my students would be able to come up with more elaborate and science rich hypothesis but this is also due to their experience and contact with similar situations.

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text? It is important to compare their own conclusions with other sources of information to decide whether their initial conclusion was right or if it had to be reformulated.

9. What was the aim of the final revision? To make general and more complete conclusions on the activity performed.

Anamaria, Romania

2018-04-03 07:15:51 UTC

1. by connecting experiment with real life
2. students use their own path.
3. link with their experience
4. to help
5. observe, take data and do conclusion
6 reflect and think critically
7 hypotheses depended of students experience
8 to enrich their knowledge and a find the right answer
9 to made the final conclusion

Bettencourt, Portugal

efsantos — 2018-04-03 10:52:04 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class? With a short film, news, something from ordinary life about starch(polymers, ...)
2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?An IBSE activity should be na activity to explore, not a receipt. Students could have guidance, but they should find the way for the answer to the question. Materials are in the lab and they must find the tools needed.
3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? This tasks corresponds to the initial path of inquiry: Looking back and make predictions.
4. Monitoring.
5. Discovery, testing, making observations, record, comunnication between peers, making normal errors... being students!
6. What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)? By resuming the activity, students remembered what they have done. By identifying the difficulties they recognize the importance of teamwork, planning, recording - general competencies
7. What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different? The hyphoteses depends on the background of each student and also from the consulting material available for the initial research about what is starch, which food aliments have it. If the hyphoteses comes only from looking at the initial reagentes and materials, the hyphoteses made by students are normal. Probably my students would make the same hypotheses.
8. Why do you think it’s importante.... It seems a
boring activity looking at students faces. Maybe teacher was training
students basic skills like resume and recording information from documents(vídeo and text)... importante, yes!
9. What was the aim of the final revision? Make conclusions of the lab activity and interconnection to daily life.

Mónica, burgos

2018-04-03 17:08:09 UTC

1 With a film , a new, a short video ...and all of them accompanied by a question
2 Because firstly student have to think what they want to do , after how
3 To discover their own hypothesis about the topic after having focus on it
4 Reviewing how research is going and helping them to continue and to take notes
5 They have to state their ideas, agree the next step, do it carefully , take note and draw conclusions
6 it the perfect time to think, listen and reconsider
7 it is very interesting to hear their hypothesis. I think my students answers would be the same, but , never knows..
8 it is a way to reasure that they really pay attention
9sharing results, getting feedback

Mehtap ARSLAN, Turkey

marslan17051 — 2018-04-03 18:53:47 UTC

A1:I say an example of daily life
A 2:Students might be asked to make qualitative observations
A 3: Problem identification,
make observations to gather data and create a hypothesis
A4: Teacher watched group work
A 5: The students have made experiments to find out which starch is in the feed.
A 6:They said their hypotheses, they wrote the results on the board, the teacher guided this process.
A 7:No, students' hypotheses are mostly similar.
A 8:The teacher explains the information about starch. Students in activities they have the to achieve a complete and accurate information
A 9:for students to make recent corrections and to describe the use of starch in daily life.

Grazyna, Poland

sp171wesola — 2018-04-03 21:14:38 UTC

1.Teacher asks students to examine the bowls and imagine why they need all these products - Ss give some suggestions, some are funny, but they get involved

2. Ss have some equipment at their disposal but they can choose what to use. Later they can discover what was necessary. Not being obliged to use all they have they may find own solutions about how to proceed.

3. The tasks 2,3,4 prepare the Ss to the experiment. They have time to think and make some predictions and formulate hypothesis

4. Teacher observes the Ss

5. Ss perform the experiment, they make all choices by themselves, organize own work, write records

6. Teacher observes the process of work

7. Students made self-evaluation, which was good, I think. Ss found the reagent which showed them what kind of food contained starch. Some hypotheses might be the same

8. It was important to organize own knowledge

9. Ss shared with the grup their individual knowledge, they covered wide spectrum of problems

Zdena

2018-04-04 11:54:18 UTC

1. Definitely by telling them some everyday usage of this or something really interesting about this matter
2. Students need find it by themselves, it makes their task even more creative than just following a procedure
3. they can think about what´s goint to happen and prepare some theses
4. a teacher was simply watching students
5. students were working in gorups, discovering things, everything by themselves
6. self-evaulation is great for students
7. I think their ideas are similar to what my studenrts would say
8. to encourage them in ability to realize more general facts from simple works and ideas
9. to revise it all, make others hear conclusions

2018-04-04 14:05:51 UTC

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class? Motivation is very important during inquiry learning, It can be done with using some mysterious experiment at the beginning of the activity. For example some colorful or explosive experiment who will catch student attention. 2. What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record? In my opinion the reason is engaging students to do right decision 3. Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? * Before starting students should have plan of work. 4. What was the teacher’s role while students

Philipp, Austria

2018-04-04 14:31:12 UTC

1.) How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?
Motivation is really important during inquiry learning or during whole learning activity.

I tried to motivate pupils with everyday life problems, which affect them. Most of the time it works well.

2.) What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?
Maybe the students start thinking with their own minds and not with the introduction of the teacher.

3.) Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?
Before starting, students should have plan of their own work. So they activate their prior knowledge and see what they already know.
4.) What was the teacher’s role while students worked?
Just to coordinate the students. He/She goes around and observes students work.

5.) What was the students’ role during their work?
The student’s role was to be actively thinking. They experimenting and hypothesizing during the session. So they have to work independently.

6.) What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?
Students learn to work with lab equipment on their own. Furthermore they learn to hypothesise and falsify wrong hypotheses with their own experiments.

7.) What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?
I think the hypotheses of my pupils are very similar or nearly the same.

8.) Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?
Yes, I think it’s really important because students learn to think about the problem again and so they can reinforce their new knowledge with the old one.

9.) What was the aim of the final revision?
In my opinion the final revision has the aim to share conclusions of each other and to summarize the knowledge of each other.

Anna Italy

prof_deruvo — 2018-04-04 15:26:59 UTC

1. Just showing materials and let them try to guess what are they for is stimulating curiosity.
2. The reagents were written, the questions in the lab records weren’t about materials after all. It wasn’t asked them to put down a experimental plan and they were free to try.
3. To compare hypotheses and focus on the implicit question of how to recognise starch in food.
4.Observing, asking to help them to focused, not so much guiding.
5. Testing first how to recognise starch, after what food contain it, taking notes for the presentation to the class.
6. they learn some laboratory skill and in the same time they learn scientific investigation method and about starch in food!
7. my students are younger but I think would be quite the same. I try something like this with them but I guide more the observation on iodine and starch, giving them just starch and water to try.
8. ask them to collect general ideas from a video and a text is a way make them use and fix the knowledge they just collect during the previous activity.

Giulia Italy

2018-04-04 17:49:33 UTC

1) Teacher has the role to stimulate curiosity of alumni. The teacher presents the materials they can use during esperiment
2) The students are stimulated to choose the right materials to solve the case.
3) Is important to have a plan of work to make hypotesis and choose all the nmaterials to make correctly the experiment.
4) The teachers just observe the students work.
5) The students role is to speriment and make hipotesis and recognize resuls.
6) The students learn to work in pair and to discuss the resuls.
7) I thik the hipoteses of my students will be similar.
8) In theese way students learn by their own
9) The final revision is important to make conclusion to the experiment and make a correct report of the activity.

Dorota, Poland

2018-04-04 21:19:17 UTC

1) By stating a real-life problem and promoting independent experimentation
2) The exact equipment may not be relevant (tube or flask etc)
3) Because they should start with predictions and hypotheses based on their current knowledge.
4+5) The teacher did not interfere with work of his students, allowing them to do independent trials and tests
6) The activity promotes interests, engages and builds self-confidence that the pupils could learn and make valuable conclusions independently.
7) Most of the hypotheses were wrong and I think it would be the case in my classes too - the charcteristic reactions are not easy to guess without prior knowledge.
8) This is another example promoting independent thinking.
9) To summarize and record what they have learned and why was it interesting.

Eugenia-Romania

2018-04-05 19:09:34 UTC

1. Motivation comes from luring their interest in the theme.
2. Use materials that do not belong to the lab and some are disused.
3. To gradually follow the experiment
4. The teacher supervises and gives instructions if needed.
5. Organize to conduct the experiment.
6. Fix the notiune and elucidate some misunderstandings.
7. Well argued. My pupils are smaller, their hypotheses will be in line with the notions they have.
8. To see if the activity has been effective and has achieved its goals.
9. Evaluating the activity of the students and the teacher, if the students understand, means that the teacher has used the best methods.

Bertha, México

2018-04-05 23:24:32 UTC

1. Before the lab, watch the video and ask some questions that will be answered at the end. Achievements!!
2. They do not have prior knowledge, they do not have enough information and it prevents them from organizing their work. However some make simple records.
3. Before starting the practical work, research the topic, generate information and organize in a way that allows them to make predictions.
4. It gives you freedom to experiment, observe them.
5. Some disperse their attention, others show enthusiasm and experience simply mixing. They watch
6. A very complete evaluation, take from the beginning, classify the information, participate in the group, provide more extensive information and record data and link with real situations.
7. They are able to propose a hypothesis, now their information is organized. I think my students would make a similar hypothesis.
8. To build each one's own knowledge, generate new expectations and continue researching.
9. The enthusiasm to contribute and share with their group their new knowledge, what they liked the most. Surely they are motivated to continue investigating.

Lorena Olaru, RO

leoatomix — 2018-04-06 13:30:53 UTC

1. The students brainstorm about the general topic, familiarize themselves with the specific aspects of the topic by exploring several resources (movies or lecture materials) , and stimulate their prior knowledge.

2. The students must to write in the lab record the needed tools. The aim is to help the student to remember, to structure, and to think.

3. In the 2 – 3 – 4 tasks the students make observations, search information, identify the problem, define the problem, make questions, declare hypotheses , make predictions etc.

4. 5. The teacher is the facilitator of the learning process. Teacher roles in inquiry were defined as “actions, verbal interactions with students, and responsibilities undertaken to support students’ participation in components of inquiry such as projects, experiments, laboratories, hypothesizing” (Aulls and Shore (2008) p. 14). The students take the lead, and the teacher acts as a consultant.

6. The students evaluates the validity of the data, or the method(s) used to gather the data. They perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence.

7. The hypotheses of my students would be similar.

8. Yes, it is important that students to make their own general conclusion from video/text

The aim of final revision is to communication, to describe, to evaluate, to discuss and to share the outcomes of their inquiry with others.

Nițescu Emilia-Elisabeta, Romania

2018-04-10 14:16:59 UTC

1. I can motivate my students, at first with a story and a dilemma they can solve.

2. Reason: The equipment is not in the lab.

3. Students start with tasks 2 - 3 - 4, because they will say here they know about the presented objects, make predictions, hypotheses, etc.

4. The role of the teacher while students were working was to observe how students work and to intervene when they feel it is necessary.

5. The role of students during their work is to actively participate in the activity and to assist their teammates in carrying out the experiment.

6 and 7. About students' hypotheses in questions 6 and 7, I can not answer because I do not understand the language used in the video.

8. I think it's important for students to be asked to make their own general conclusion because we see if they have understood what we wanted them to learn.

9. The purpose of the final review was to see if the results are conclusive and similar, and to see what they knew at first and what I know now after the experiment.

Semih, TÜRKİYE

2018-04-10 19:24:46 UTC

1-The different foods and experimental materials put into the containers are remarkable.
2-The reason why the equipment is not written is to increase the curiosity of the student.
3- Prior to the experiment related to the subject, students should start with questions 2,3 and 4 to determine their readiness.
4-Teacher is explanatory and guiding. It guides students to access information instead of providing information.
5-Students are active and participating in the course. It controls the preliminary knowledge and creates hypotheses. He tests his hypotheses and gets to the end.
6-The activity is quite impressive in that the lesson shows a permanent learning and how much it affects our lives.
7-Of course there are differences, which is quite normal.
8-To make permanent learning by doing.

 How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?

By using materials from everyday life.

 What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?

In order to activate them on questioning themselves

 Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4? *

To collect information and form suitable questions

 What was the teacher’s role while students worked?

Observe and act as a consultant

 What was the students’ role during their work?

Working in groups, making hypothesis , experimenting, discussing results.

 What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?

Self-evaluation gives them the opportunity to remember all the steps of the procedure. Compare the ideas and results with their colleagues and to find common results.

 What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Would the hypotheses of your students be different?

Expected from them and from my students to

8. Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?

To improve their self confidence and on the other hand to rise up misunderstandings.

9. What was the aim of the final revision?

To rise up the outcome.

1. 'How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the class?' With an engage activity.

2. 'What can be the reason for equipment not being written in the lab record?' Maybe because the students will choose which kind equipment to use after they formulate their hypotheses.

3. 'Why should students start with tasks 2 – 3 – 4?' Because it is important to collect their previous knowledge about starch and to motivate them to formulate hypothesis.

4. 'What was the teacher’s role while students worked?'
He was a facilator: he circulated into the room while the students are discussing a problem, he observed them and if they asked his help he supported them.

5. 'What was the students’ role during their work?'
They developed their experiment with observations, discussion in group, tried to do react the diverse products with the specific reagents. They annoted their observation.

6. 'What can you say about the activity evaluation (from the point of view of general study-skills and later Chemistry)?'
In this video emerged the self-evaluation of the students: they were the protagonists of their learning, they acquired new competences and abilities during the experiments.

7. 'What do you think about students‘ hypotheses? Good and 'Would the hypotheses of your students be different?' Not completely

8. 'Why do you think it’s important that students were asked to make their own general conclusion from video/text?'
Because it allows them to reflect to own learning path and to highlight possible misunderstanding

9. 'What was the aim of the final revision?'
It allows to reinforce the obtained knowledges during the IBSE activity

1. I can motivate my students, at first riddle or proverb and they can solve.
2. In order to activate them questions themselves.
3. Prior the experiment related to the subject
4.Observe and act consulting
5. Studets are active and resolve

1. Talking about everyday life (diet, food, weight gain).
2. To test if students can select the adequate equipment for their work.
3. To collect the prior knowledge.
4. Observer and motivator.
5. Applying knowledge (testing hypothesis), conducting experiments, recording results.
6. It gives them credit for trying and points out that every result is a progress in the research (even negative one).
7. More or less the same.
8. So they themselves estimate what information is important.
9. Overall overview to check if everyone in class understood the materials.

1. At first, I usually prefer to present them a topic or idea or hypothesis that captivates their interests and motivates them.

2. Probably to incite students to question themselves.

3. Students recall and activate prior knowledge and start formulating hypotheses and making predictions.

4. The teacher observes and guides.

5. Students experiment, make predictions.

6. Students are encouraged to draw conclusions.

7. I think that my students’ answers would be similar.

8. Students develop metacognitive strategies and reflect on their own learning process.

9. The revision facilitates the exchange of the results, the feedback and comparisons.

1. How can you motivate your students at the beginning of the lesson?
Students become self-motivated when they realize that information is related to real life.
2. What is the reason for not writing the equipment in the laboratory register?
The decision makers are themselves.
3. Why do students begin with 2--3-4 tasks?
The KWL scheme in the different versions is important for students to be aware of their own learning.
4. What was the role of the teacher when the students were working?
It should just be a guide.
5. What was the role of students in their work?
To learn through group work.
6. What can you say about the event evaluation?
Individuals who understand how to relate information to life are easy learners learn.
7. What do you think about students' hypotheses? Are your students' hypotheses different?
Hypotheses are similar.
8. Why do you think students are asked to extract their general conclusions from the video / text?
They learn to reveal their own results and learn to make logical verifications of their results.
9. What was the purpose of the final revision?
The student shares his or her results with the rest of the class. It is provided to improve

1. I try as much as possible to relate to real life examples. If there is something that I can bring in the class and show for e.g fungus mould with microscope I do not hesitate
2. Equipments were to be decided by the students, this helped them to be more responsible and increased their decision making
3. Students have general information about starch before beginning. Students were asked to predict so they can find out if their predictions were correct.Students were made to set an aim before beginning with the experiment by formulating their hypothesis
4. Teacher is a facilitator and mere observer to keep a watch on the students and also the safety
5. Students had maximum role to play as they were discovering everything on their own
6. The students conducted the activity themselves and came out with the solution that starch is the correct reagent. It had a lasting effect as it was based on the principle of 'learning by doing'
7. The hypothesis could change based on the way the students looked at it
8. So that the students are observant and attentive throughout. Also each students looks at things with their own perspective and will conclude accordingly
9. To check the relevance in daily life
