This year has been a full on year with our science PD. I had used science in my class in previous years to drive my literacy programme and motivate my students to write. This year Susan worked with us to develop a kete of ideas to draw upon. She also grew my skills in questioning students and getting them to make connections.
" The ice melted" - Why did the ice melt? What do you already know that you could connect with?
I learned how to connect the cross-cutting concepts with big ideas in Science. One of my best science lessons was my Squid Dissection. I was lucky enough to film it for my class on air site. ( Link below)
