The purpose of this element is that we get the opportunity to examine how collections of living and non-living things and their processes interact - leading to systematic functions. 

There is also a focus on the inputs, outputs, and relationships among  various system components. ]]> 2019-04-27 22:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354714424 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354790390

Students will be able to design, plan and conduct investigations, produce and select data, review and critically reflect on their investigations and also communicate their research to others. ]]> 2019-04-29 10:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354948450 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354950310 2019-04-29 11:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354950310 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354950747 2019-04-29 11:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354950747 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354958588 Animations are of great use when studying about these topics as students can get a visual representation about what they are studying. ]]> 2019-04-29 11:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354958588 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354959116 Videos are another great resource as some students learn better through auditory and visual sources. ]]> 2019-04-29 11:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354959116 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354960017 2019-04-29 11:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354960017 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354961392 A sample Lesson Plan that corresponds to this Learning Outcome]]> 2019-04-29 11:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/354961392 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355200495 Collaborative Planning Document - Useful for use by department members when unpacking a Learning Outcome and to plan a scheme of work]]> 2019-04-29 20:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355200495 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355212832 A sheet I drew up that simply lists some key words from beg[inning of the study of  the chapter on the Circulatory System..

Thus paper talks about the Pedagogical Content Knowledge of a teacher, and their ability to transform a classroom based on their ability to facilitate learning and nurture and foster scientific inquiry. 
I particularly liked this paper as it is an excellent example of a teachers role as an inquiry-based instructor but also as an educator who creates an environment where learning is also based on constructive approaches. ]]> 2019-04-29 21:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355218038 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355219626 List of action verbs related to the Junior Cycle Specification. ]]> 2019-04-29 21:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355219626 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355770892 This is a copy of the Department of Education issued booklet that lists the safety hazards associated with chemicals being used for school experiments ]]> 2019-05-01 13:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355770892 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355772099 This is a copy of the Department of Education issued booklet that lists the procedure for safely disposing of chemicals. ]]> 2019-05-01 13:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355772099 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355777026 A poster that I have shown to my classes in order to get them to to reflect critically on their experiments ]]> 2019-05-01 13:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/355777026 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/359048447 This paper by Rodger W. Bybee has been a valuable article to read as it explains the different levels of inquiry that can be found in the classroom. The element of inquiry has been a big change from the old Junior Certificate to the new Junior Cycle Science Specification. This paper has got me to ask myself 'How can I encourage active thinking in the classroom. I have come to realize that what I do with my students can easily be derived from a question, enabling students to begin thinking. Inquiry based learning can seem daunting, but this is not the case. It can be done effectively by simply getting students to come up with a hypothesis and deriving their own method for experimental purposes. ]]> 2019-05-10 22:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/359048447 colindoyle8598 https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/359148891 2019-05-11 22:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/colindoyle8598/e8gbu1itlhzn/wish/359148891
