Chris D invited us to teach lessons from the Marine Resource Box we are preparing to a visiting school. This tied in nicely with an assignment we have to do as part of our course in which we need to incorporate the science capability of "Critiquing Evidence". It also gives us the opportunity to test what we want to include in the box and to put into practice ideas we have been learning on our curriculum days.
We focused on classifying and naming shells, modelling how a filter feeder eats and questioning and challenging.
We then reflected on our teaching and the learning and have tweaked a few things for tomorrow. Namely making more explicit to the children (and their teachers!) the way that checking the source of a text is reliable and utilising peer review are forms of critiquing evidence.
