PLAYING BASKETBALL IN A SCIENCE LESSON?

By Bea Forrester

Yesterday I visited a school with a very different way of teaching science. I arrived at the school
and the headteacher, Ms Ross, took me to Class 4B’s science lesson. I thought it was strange that
Ms Ross didn’t take me to the science lab. Instead, she took me to the school gym. I looked
through the window and it looked like a PE lesson but it wasn’t. It was a science lesson about the
human body.

At the start of the lesson, the students ran around the gym and threw basketballs to each other.
After ten minutes, the teacher told them to stop. The students went to the end of the gym and sat
down. They sat at tables, but there were no books or pens. The teacher taught them science only
with a whiteboard and her laptop.

After eight minutes of teaching, the students left their tables. They picked up the basketballs and
started their ten minutes of exercise again. This happened three times. Each time the students only
sat and learned science for eight minutes. The students at the school learned better and faster like
this. The students remembered more information with the ten-minute breaks and exercise.

So what did I think? Well, it felt strange at first and I didn’t think it was a good idea, but I soon
changed my opinion. I learned a lot from the lesson – and it was a lot of fun!
