The Role of Talk
Produced by Teachers TV, primary educators demonstrate how they have encouraged dialogue in their Key Stage Two science lessons.
Nicky Waller, an advisory science teacher in Durham, goes through a lesson inspired by the Children Challenge Industry Project. This relates science to real life companies and jobs. Nicky demonstrates a practical and group discussion based lesson. The children role-play real life scientific and administrative roles in a company that produces a cough medicine formula.
Nicky also gives tips on how to organise and optimise the classroom for small group discussion work, as well as how to encourage the children to develop transferable communication and discussion skills.
Finally, award winning science teacher Linda James shows how she has encouraged her children to analyse and critically debate, by framing them as science reporters in a lesson that draws on everyday news stories.
