I wrote this in case it was a Snow Day today and the Science lecture gets cancelled. But seeing as it wasn’t but the Internet connection was very dodgy, it might be worth sharing anyway so you can try out some of the links again.
Here are a few things I’d like you to try.
1. Investigate Build Your Wild Self. http://www.buildyourwildself.com/
Create an animal version of yourself.
Then take a screenshot into Word (print screen button and paste) and write about how this creature might live. What would it eat, how would it hunt? Where would it live etc etc…
2. Investigate Simple Science Songs : http://www.simplescience.net/
How could you use some of these songs to introduce different science lessons? or as a plenary. Could you write your own songs based on these?
3. Take a look at the interactive science websites on my delicious list at: http://delicious.com/dannynic/pgce+science+interactive
Pick two sites that are your favourite.
Then. Go to the Wallwisher page that has been set up at: http://wallwisher.com/wall/scittscienceict
Double click on the page to add a note. Create a note about each of your favourite science/ict sites from the list (or that you have found elsewhere)
Remember to add the address of the site, and a quick note about what it is and why you like it.
4. Take a look at this slideshow on Photopeach. This is an easy way of making a slideshow from images taken with a digital camera, digital microscope or webcam.
The slideshow – What is it??
If you want the answers, they can be found here.
Think about how you could use this to create a slideshow of images on a topic or to showcase pupil work.
And finally
Also : take a look at how other teachers have used technology to provide activities for the children to do from home:
