SUBSTITUTEThink about substituting part of your product/process for something else. By looking for something to substitute you can often come up with new ideas.Typical questions: What can I substitute to make an improvement? What if I swap this for that and see what happens? How can I substitute the place, time, materials or people?

COMBINEThink about combining two or more parts of your probortunity to achieve a different product/process or to enhance synergy.Typical questions: What materials, features, processes, people, products or components can I combine? Where can I build synergy?

ADAPTThink about which parts of the product/process could be adapted to remove the probortunity or think how you could change the nature of the product/process.Typical questions: What part of the product could I change? And in exchange for what? What if I were to change the characteristics of a component?

MODIFY/DISTORTThink about changing part or all of the current situation, or to distort it in an unusual way. By forcing yourself to come up with new ways of working, you are often prompted into an alternative product/process.Typical questions: What happens if I warp or exaggerate a feature or component? What will happen if I modify the process in some way?

PUT TO OTHER PURPOSESThink of how you might be able to put your current solution/ product/process to other purposes, or think of what you could reuse from somewhere else in order to solve your own probortunity. You might think of another way of solving your own probortunity or finding another market for your product.Typical questions: What other market could I use this product in? Who or what else might be able to use it?

ELIMINATEThink of what might happen if you eliminated various parts of the product/process/probortunity and consider what you might do in that situation. This often leads you to consider different ways of tackling the probortunity.Typical questions: What would happen if I removed a component or part of it? How else would I achieve the solution without the normal way of doing it?

REVERSEThink of what you would do if part of your probortunity/product/process worked in reverse or was done in a different order. What would you do if you had to do it in reverse? You can use this to see your probortunity from different angles and come up with new ideas.Typical questions: What if I did it the other way round? What if I reverse the order it is done or the way it is used? How would I achieve the opposite effect?

What If Key

1. Demo to whole class - asking questions about what you are going to do and how you might do that.

2. Set class an independent activity and invoke the “not available rule”

3. Select two children from different reading groups - one is the doer and the other an observer for the first round.

4. Question your way through the task with the doer and observer able to answer but only the doer to touch the computer. Swap roles and repeat.

5. Teach them how to teach. (Questioner, hands off, pointer)

6. Use a chart to plot completion and expertise.

I love eating an apple.

I went to the lake and I took my remote control car.

In autumn the leaves fall down on the grass. I have to rake them up.

I had a cake for my birthday.

These shapes are round . A round shape is a circle.

Structure ofObservedLearningOutcomes

Unistructural MultistructuralPrestructural Relational Extended Abstract

When a tree grows, the roots grow down into the soil, and a trunk begins growing above. From this trunk grow branches, twigs and leaves.

The roots of a tree anchor it firmly in the ground and absorb nutrients and water from the soil. Plant leaves absorb carbon dioxide, pull water up through their roots and use light to make sugar (photosynthesis). Plants use the sugar to grow. Plants give off oxygen as a by-product. The green parts of the plant make the sugar and oxygen. In winter some trees lose their leaves as the nutrients move down into the root systems as light and warmth diminish.

A tree has a trunk, leaves and fruit.

This is a Tree

Activity: In groups discuss what a tree would be like at each level.

Individually, on each your 5 pieces of paper, draw a tree representing a level of SOLO, and write a statement about the tree at that level. Be ready to share in approx 10 minutes.

The tree has an important role to play in the survival of the planet. If, for example, we cut down rainforests or clear native bush to develop an exotic forestry industry, we risk irreversible damage to our planet. How will our planet renew its atmosphere if we remove most of the trees? What effect will it have on birds and insects, and how will that in turn affect us? What do we need to think about here?
