TECHNIQUE : Review
Relate With Previous Lessons
TECHNIQUE
Quick overview or recall of just the main concepts in the same content area. When recall (rather than we tell), promotes ownership. Connects previous learning with present learning.
Remember longer
Learn better
Retain information
What did we learn about / work on in [subject] yesterday?
TECHNIQUE : Review
Example : LATINDA (Material Exercise Module)

TECHNIQUE : Storytelling
Once upon a time
TECHNIQUE
Emotional connection Growing intimacy Encourage students to explore their unique expressiveness and can heighten a students ability to communicate thoughts and feelings.
Example: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
TECHNIQUE
Storytelling using props to make it alive! Used for early Maths (days and shapes) and Science (metamorphosis)
http://iheartcraftythings.blogspot.com/2011/07/story-time-very-hungry-caterpillar-with.html
Example: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
TECHNIQUE
In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf On Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and pop! - out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar
But he was still hungry.
On Monday, he ate through one apple
He started to look for food

TECHNIQUE : Video Clips

Lights..Camera..Action!
TECHNIQUE
Use interesting and relevant clips Injects variety to T&L method Alternative to activities limited by : - resources - safety concerns - time constraint.

Example: Hydrogen Bomb Egg

TECHNIQUE : Discrepant Event

Example: Balloon Experiments
TECHNIQUE
Previous experience
Discrepancy, surprised
Motivation
TECHNIQUE : Discrepant Event

Example : Handheld Fireball
TECHNIQUE
TECHNIQUE : Music
Give me a beat!
TECHNIQUE
Fun and effective way to help learning. Engaging, natural and enjoyable part of their everyday lives. Boost memories breaks information into chunks association into familiar songs Teach new vocabulary Supports self-expression, development of skills (social, cognitive, communication and motor)
TECHNIQUE : Music
Examples:
TECHNIQUE
Multiplication Tables Bangau Oh Bangau! Chemistry Songs : Chemical Energy & Molecules www.kidsnowit.com Tom Lehrers The Elements http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAaiYKF0cs Creative music videos for organic chemistry www.phys.org/news/2011-06-chemistry-good.html Photosynthesis song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHmwIZ9FNw&feat ure=youtube_gdata_player General science : Planets & Speed and Velocity www.learninggamesforkids.com/sciencegames/science-songs

TECHNIQUE : Questioning
TECHNIQUE
Starters to stimulate discussions : Create supportive environment Open-ended questions Thought-provoking questions
How does .? What is ? What are the differences between ?
Try visual-based or audio-based Problem-solving and cooperative learning.

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers. - Josef Albers
TECHNIQUE : Questioning
Example: Floating and Sinking Oranges
TECHNIQUE
http://www.doscience.com/
What happens when I put the orange on the container? (Focus on float or sink) Who thinks that it will float / sink? Other opinions? Conflicting opinions will spark interest and motivation to know more
TECHNIQUE : Creative Play

Playtime
TECHNIQUE
Fun, easy and engaging. Sub-techniques :

Brain-teasers Hands-on puzzles Jigsaw puzzle riddles Energyzers
Challanges
Educational games
Words games

Ideas Implementation :
TECHNIQUE
1. Newspapers and educational magazines. - funny cartoons to illustrate a scientific concept. - objective is to relate the cartoons to their lessons.
2. Watch TV for ideas. -e.g. "Looney Tunes," where violations of scientific laws regularly occur with hilarious consequences for the characters. 3. Network and exchange ideas with other teachers. 4. Internet Science websites.
5. Students to make their own cartoons depicting the current science lesson. Share humor with the class.
Staying Relevant
Attentive to needs Incorporate
Discussion Social Media
Peer sharing Guidance
Collaboration
Teachers Educator Centers
Way Forward
Time friendly
ADAPT
Relatively easy
Cost vs Impact
