Bloody Studio 10, Science KS3 and 42
This is going to be a busy week. I wish somebody had warned me about using Studio 10 on a PC. I almost lost my work this evening. If I had done the panic bells would have started ringing. In Birmingham we are running some KS3 (11-14) activities and I have some responsibility for the science work. (Visit www.bgfl.org for the others). We are presenting the concept of gravity in five different formats ; Video conference lesson, paper document, home experiment, film and animation and asking the pupils to look at them and then vote on what learning experience they prefered. Its crudely based on the beloved Gardeners learning styles and will be better next time when we try to do the next concept to music. Where does the 42 come from? I’m intrigued by an Australian idea where they link the learning styles to Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive skills and end up with a matrix of 42 squares with different activities in them. The pupils can then map their preferences. It is also the answer to the really important question!
