Lesson Plan & outcomes

Getting the Most from the CourseDifferent Ways to Interact During the Course• Adding comments in the discussion areas and forums.• Replying to comments from others.• Participating in the webinar• Sharing your learning on social media using engage_science♯

Key discussion points to share:• Your thoughts about the ideas/activities and your own practice• An evaluation of the dilemmas you implement in your classroom including

what you and the students learnt from using them.• How you have adapted the dilemmas, so we can learn from each other.• Any questions that you have for the team.

Engaging pupils in dilemmas will not only give them access to knowledge, but also skills to use this knowledge in an informed way, to stimulate their interest in science, to teach them the importance of evidence in decision making and, importantly, to help them appreciate and value the ideas and opinions of others.
