Providing children with reasons to talk and think scientifically can ensure children achieve deeper knowledge and understanding in science. During this day course teachers and subject leaders will experience a variety of teaching and learning strategies that work brilliantly in science, allowing children to learn, practise and utilise quality vocabulary as they think and then talk scientifically. Free and fabulous resources and web-based offers will also be suggested, which allow classroom-based science to be applied and extended into real-world contexts, challenging children to use their knowledge and understanding more creatively and in a wider variety of contexts as they solve problems, explore ideas and answer questions.
The day will include:
• Why talk? A chance to explore the importance of thinking and talking to children in science
• How to develop children’s vocabulary using a variety of games, scaffolds and prompts
• A variety of thinking and talking strategies and key tools to support, explore and deepen children’s learning
• Examples of talking and thinking activities in a variety of Biology, Chemistry and Physics contexts and across the Key Stages.
