themselves.

• Expert Group
• After you have read your article please discuss what you learned from it with your group members
• Prepare a brief (2-3 minute) presentation that you will share with your home group.

Move back to your home group

What is Science? AssignmentWhat is Science? Assignment
• Pick one question that genuinely interests you and start to do some research to answer it
• Share your information next class with a group of 5 people
• Hand in your question and one reference sheet
• See www.post.queensu.ca/~christie
What’s Next?What’s Next?• Supporting student learning with the learning skills that
we assess on their report card?• More complete learning activities to inspire you? • Writing clear instructions for students• Relatively easy activities/ideas to promote critical
thinking• Record what you taught last prac- and what you will
teach so that you can bring in resources-share email addresses etc. perhaps the same class as the sharing session?
• Why do students have so much trouble with labs?• Question and answer?• Work period with my resources?
