Week+8


 * Science Week 8**


 * Micro-lesson


 * 2 stars and a wish from last two weeks on biological science


 * Resources, website and excursion – PP.


 * Reader question: Collaborative learning - Not an exam question but important in general.


 * Challenges of collaborative learning
 * Ways to overcome the challenges


 * Solids, liquids and gases:**

1. Engage:
 * 1) First column of the agree/disagree chart – use Socrative app
 * 2) Classifying solids liquids and gases using hula hoop
 * 3) Make oobleck – draw what you think is happening - click here for the links and details of how to make oobleck. - OOBLECK

2. Explore:
 * 1) Solids activity sheet: Look at and discuss: [[file:Solids.docx]]
 * 2) Solution, suspension and colloid activity – complete each of the activities on the worksheet below: [[file:solution, suspension and colloid-1.docx]]

3. Explain:
 * 1) Jigsaw: Using the information sheets below, each person becomes an expert in solids, liquids or gases.[[file:solids liquids and gases.docx]]
 * 2) Share three main points with the group.

4. Elaborate:
 * 1) Viscosity experiment. Do as a whole class – use your devices to film it – iPad people try an app called iMotionHD – time lapse photos J[[file:viscosity.docx]]
 * 2) Viscosity is a measure of a fluids resistance to flow. Liquid with large viscosity resist motion – eg honey.

5. Evaluate:
 * 1) Probably not enough time but could do agree/disagree chart.
 * 2) Create a product showing knowledge of conceptual area.

Solids liquids and gases explanation: [] Shows a simple experiment adding heat and watching how the solids change to liquids. Includes a quick quiz.
