Primary Science
In this Teachers TV programme, a Year Five teacher asks for advice on how to use a digital microscope to enhance the learning of lifecycles and a Year Three teacher shows how she has used digital photographs to help children understand fractions.
This programme is a useful refresher for anyone who wants to use a digital microscope but perhaps needs help remembering how to use it. It looks at the features of a microscope including magnification, snapshots and how to use it in a lesson to create a time lapse sequence of seeds germinating. This technique could be used for any processes which happen over a longer period of time.
It also looks at how one teacher has used digital photographs of everyday objects to introduce fractions. Children relate to images of themselves on the interactive whiteboard and share out everyday objects such as apples and bananas to find fractions of amounts. The children find this an engaging way to learn about fractions.
