Descripció: In the Primary Science with €Sense activities students investigate phenomena involving light, sound, and temperature. Students get a number of problems that have to be solved by taking measurements with sensors. The threshold of technical
skills needed to use the tools is low to allow the primary focus of the activity to be on the science phenomenon itself and on the inquiry approach.
Structure
The pack consists of 3 parts, build around the use of €Sense sensors:
– Exploring Light – use of the light sensor,
– Exploring Heat and Temperature – use of the external temperature sensor,
– Exploring Sound – use of the sound sensor.
Each part consists of a set of units around the selected theme. Each unit offers a set of Activities.
Learning Cycle
Units are designed according to the Learning Cycle, which is one of the most effective models of science instruction.
Each unit is started with the Exploration phase. This phase is meant for introducing a problem and getting student’s attention by using observations, asking questions, performing simple experiments. This phase should generate students’ interest and curiosity, and set the stage for inquiring about a particular phenomenon. This phase also provides an opportunity for the teacher to activate learning, assesses prior knowledge and has students share their prior experience about the topic.
