Constructivism - summaryConstructivism - summary
Children have strongly held ideas Learning involves the active construction of new
meaning Children may appear to understand new ideas
presented to them, but not believe them Shared meanings, reinforced by social interaction,
are difficult to change. Constructivism has its own language – e.g.
children’s ideas, alternative frameworks, misconceptions.

What experiences could you provide for young children to encourage them to explore materials and their properties?
Why is early exploration so important?

Big Idea 1: All material in the Universe is made of very small particles
Atoms are the building blocks of all materials, living and non-living. The behaviour of the atoms explains the properties of different materials. Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms in substances to form new substances. Each atom has a nucleus containing neutrons and protons, surrounded by electrons. The opposite electric charges of protons and electrons attract each other, keeping atoms together and accounting for the formation of some compounds.

Teacher subject knowledge is importantTASK Solids, liquids and gases – the states of matter
To elicit our ideas on solids, liquids and gases, i.e. the states of matter
You have a set of everyday materials. Please sort them into solids, liquids and gases. Sort them as they are - do not include the container
in your decisions.
These materials have been chosen to match what we think areThese materials have been chosen to match what we think are suitable for you. You may need to adapt the selection of materialssuitable for you. You may need to adapt the selection of materials to match your pupils in school.to match your pupils in school.

“A solid has definite shape. It remains that shape unless a force acts on it.... Cotton wool can be easily changed [but] it does have a definite shape.” P91
“A liquid has no fixed shape but it keeps the same volume when it is poured into a different container” p91
“A gas has no fixed shape or volume... Fill [s] the whole of the space in which it is contained.” P91

TASK TASK
Use the same set of materials
This time decide which are pure substances and which are mixtures.

Remember!Remember! Children often hold Children often hold common misconceptions or common misconceptions or
‘children’s ideas’ ‘children’s ideas’ e.g. identify melting in water but
do not generalise to others situations use ‘melting’ / ‘dissolving’ / ‘turning into water’ as the same
thing KS1 – evaporation – water disappears KS2 – evaporation – water turns into air, rather than
vapour in air

Please note directed tasks and be fully Please note directed tasks and be fully prepared for next session prepared for next session
Review Science Confidence Audit. Use your audit to identify areas of knowledge and understanding in science on which you need to work. Next week you will identify 3-4 other students in your group who wish to work on the same area for a student led workshop.
Read Roden (2005) Complete the reflection tasks and bring to next session.
Read Lee & Tan (2004) What do you think?
Revise ‘Changing Materials’ for next week.
