Primary Science teachers might be interested in this wonderful PowerPoint file produced in association with the rather talented Bev Evans. I produced the scenarios, and Bev produced all the eye catching graphics. It’s based on some numeracy resources Bev produced and linked on Twitter the other day. Bev calls them Discussion Strips.
There are three slides, each of which can be used to spark a discussion about what makes something alive, plus a summary slide which explains MRS GREN. Display the slide on the IWB and ask the children what they think. See what ideas they have.
You can download the Science “Living Things” Discussion Strip powerpoint presentation here
I thoroughly recommend that you follow Bev on Twitter for her “free clip art of the day” – and more ideas like this. Plus check out her Technostories Blog and her Communication for All website!
On similar lines – also check out this “Choose 1 out” idea from NGFL Cymru. Again a good discussion starter.
