Initially an image or starter task on the board can help students start the thinking processes for your lesson…

These strategies can help:

• Capture initial interest• Generate discussion between students• Generate questions• Encourage thinking skills• Distraction from outside ssshhhhhh behaviour management!!

• Present students with things they like and do not expect in their lessons.• Identify Misconceptions

What do these have in common?

1. Using the internet as a tool for teaching

2. Google resources for inspiration

3. Media footage (adverts, clips, etc) to capture interest.

2. Google images for inspirationIdeas!

Your definition is different to someone else's!

Random/stunning pictures for the same word, this encourages students to ask.. Why’s that there? Find the link…

This list is directly linked but a different way of thinking about the same word!

Student thinking will not be as linear or logical as yours…. This method will identify alternative areas of interest or

misconceptions.

Keywords:

• Energy• Transferred• Conserved• KE• Usain Bolt• Sankey• Stored• Joules (J)

Lesson objectives:

Explain how Sankey diagrams show energy transformations.

Energy Transformations Diagrams

• Bats make high-pitched chirps which are too high for humans to hear. This is called ultrasound

• Like normal sound, ultrasound echoes off objects

• The bat hears the echoes and works out what caused them

• Bats make high-pitched chirps which are too high for humans to hear. This is called ultrasound

• Like normal sound, ultrasound echoes off objects

• The bat hears the echoes and works out what caused them

• We can also use ultrasound to look inside the body…

• Dolphins also navigate with ultrasound

• Submarines use a similar method called sonar

• Dolphins also navigate with ultrasound

Advantages:

• No side effects• Any part or orientation of the body• High quality resolution (especially soft tissue)• Contrast between materials can be used to investigate concerns

Advantages:

• No side effects• Any part or orientation of the body• High quality resolution (especially soft tissue)• Contrast between materials can be used to investigate concerns

Disadvantages:

• Bone images are poor• Claustrophobia• Noisy and long time• Not on people with pacemakers/pin implants• Expensive equipment

Potential:

Huge magnetic field

100,000 times the earth’s

Label each picture and give three examples of that type of energy.

Disco Inferno

• How does Disco Stu lose all his energy? • Where does it go?• Where did it come from first? • Are there other energies at the Disco Inferno!!

“Yeah Baby!!!”

“Its Disco Stu…… When I’m grooving the night away, getting down… the energy just flows from me Mannn!”

1. Name four good insulators in the picture? 2. Are the glasses good emitters or bad conductors?3. Why are areas of his shirt over 5oC warmer than the rest of the

shirt?4. Why is his collar the coldest part of his shirt?

3. Videos and adverts to capture interest.

ICT within a teaching style

1. Show the science in the world they take for granted and do not connect to science.

Adverts…. Make great starters, brain breaks, fillers, plenary, capture interest, discussion points, good science, bad science etc

• Clips from TV shows, hard to find but are out there and can be downloaded via some websites … Brainiac etc• VHS and convert to DVD/hard drive • BBC iplayer/MSN play/Daily motion/4OD

You tube videos Stream/download-conversion. Used to make Mini-films using movie maker with pop music backing tracks.

File conversion and download sites .. Free and it emails a link to a file you can down load. There are alternatives out there!!

By typing .gif.gif or.swf.swf after a keyword you can sometimes find animated pictures and interactive diagrams.

E.g. chromatography.gif or Earth Structure.swf

• Copy and paste GIFs like normal.• SWF (flash) save link, or save as a Target.
