Teaching and learning
• How do we teach students in a way that helps them to develop skills as well as knowledge?
• How can we involve students actively in their learning?
• How should we use practical work in Chemistry lessons?
The City School Gulshan Senior Girls
What activity types can be used inChemistry lessons?
• Brainstorming• Demonstrations• Discovery learning• Discussions• Group work
• Multimedia instruction • Peer tutoring• Practical work • Project-based learning• Simulations
The City School Gulshan Senior Girls
Questioning
• To draw out from students what they already know.
• To lead students towards a better understanding of
new topics.
The City School Gulshan Senior Girls
Group work
• What different types of activities can group work be used for?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using groups?
• What can you do to minimise the disadvantages?
The City School Gulshan Senior Girls
Ideas for group work
Groups find as many ways as possible of showing crystal lattice or macromolecular structure.
Working in groups makes pupils discuss, agree and record their views.
