Relate With Previous Lessons

•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.

•“What did we learn about / work on in [subject]

In the light of the moon, a little egg

lay on a leaf

He started to look for food…

On Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and -

pop! - out of the egg came a tiny and very

hungry caterpillar

On Monday, he ate through

one apple

But he was still hungry.

Starters to stimulate discussions : •Create supportive environment •Open-ended questions •Thought-provoking questions

•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

“How does ….?

“What is …?

Ideas Implementation :

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.
