Highlighting the best in science teaching and research  

What happens next? A teaching strategy to get students of all ages talking

In Issue 7 of Science in School, David Featonby presented some ideas for simple experiments with slightly unusual outcomes, to encourage discussion. See here.

If you have ideas for experiments suitable for this strategy, do share them in this forum.

simple experiments

Submitted by Arthur Meier on Tue, 2008-01-29 21:18.

Hello,

my suggestion is to encourage elder students to discuss example experiments like these chosen by themselves with preschool kids. This approach is based on the ideas of learning through teaching and allows some fascinating experiences for both groups.
