15:00 – 15:15 Coffee break
15.15 – 16.30 Focus on Health – experiment trialsMethods II: „Methodology tools”
Learning at Stations• Material argument:
Large classes means never enough material to work in parallel groups
• Safety argument:Too many groups working on experiments increases safety risks
• Learning argument:Working at different stations gives students a feeling of „this is especially for us“ (proved by research)
• Preparation argument:Constructing stations can be carried out in common by several teachers and can be used for several years

Learning at Stations-General layout
- e.g. 6 Stations (may vary widely) - partly experimental (3 or 4 stations)- partly non experimental (2 or 3 stations)
- all (should) need approx. same time- none needs another as precondition
- a circle can be astablished twice (or more often) in classroom if neccessary- there may be compulsory stations and additional stations- at each station material and written instructions are provided - a task is to be carried out (results to be fixed)

Learning at Stations: Energy (A2) Experimental• Station 1
We store heat • Station 2
Water as heat store• Station 3
Heat pack• Station 4
How the heat pack works
Non experimental• Station 5
Crossword puzzle „So hot !“
• Station 6Text to chart translation„Water storing heat“
• Station 7Graph interpretation„Heating water“

Learning at Stations: Energy (A2)
Now let‘s start !
Experimento10+
Learning at StationsWhat else to be considered
• How much time do we have / will we need? • How are groups formed?• What precautions must be taken?• How should a group signal for teacher‘s help?• How should the change to the next station be
organized? (bell, on their own after finishing, other)
• What about additional work at home lateron?

Collaborative forms of learning (Methods IV)
Jigsaw method – Group puzzle
The Health Experiments (C2)

Carbohydrates as Providers of Energy
A Preparation of starch solution
B Preparation of Iodine-KI-Solution
C Proof of starch
D Effect of saliva on starch
C Enzyme inhibition by heavy metal influence & acids

Methodology tools Constructivism and learning
• There is no direct way from reality into brain• Nor is there a 1 to 1 understanding of speech
• Therefore learning means „constructing one‘s own model of the world“
• This need different and manyfold means• Methodology tools can help on this way

15:15 – 16:30 Evaluation and Conclusion to Experimento | 10+
Experimento10+
Methods III: TasksTasks are good• when they allow the students autonomous working / learning• when they use preknowledge and activate it• when they mean a cognitive challenge• when they guide the learner to a higher step of
understanding• when they allow cooperative work (and thereby item related
communication)• when it is clear for the students from the start what kind of
answer is requested
Experimento10+
Methods: TasksAn example
Develop a series of experiments which show the translation of states for water.Write down an instruction which allows another group to carry out the experiments. Add a sketch to show what you mean. Icecube
Pot on stove
Lid with condensed water
GlassFridge
Experimento10+
Methods: TasksFor more examples see the educators handout
- „Separating different types of plastic”- „How do sun rays transport energy?“- Any task of „translating“ information from one
kind of representation into another(text to chart, picture to text, formula to text, data to graph …)
- „Summarize …..- „Show how …..

Methods IV: Collaborative forms of learning
• Every possibility for subject related talking should be used
• Less competent learn from more competent
• Arguments are sharpened
• Team playing is practiced
Special forms• Working in groups• Think-pair-share• Jigsaw• Learning tandems• …
