  2. Science Funnies... TEACHER: Donald, what is the chemical formula for water?DONALD: H I J K L M N O.TEACHER: What are you talking about?DONALD: Yesterday you said it's H to O.

  3. Could you: • Describe the 3 lenses that teachers must begin with when using the cultural-historical perspective. • For each of the lenses, give an example of what the teacher could do.

  4. What do children say about science? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDW-CGTRm54

  5. You are the science teacher: Inspire children through your teaching (dvd)

  6. Interesting Science Facts: Rabbits and parrots can see behind themselves without even moving their heads! Butterflies taste food by standing on top of it! Their taste receptors are in their feet unlike humans who have most on their tongue. Most of the dust in your home is actually dead skin! Yuck! Although the Stegosaurus dinosaur was over 9 metres long, its brain was only the size of a walnut. Humans get a little taller in space because there is no gravity pulling down on them.

  7. Because of the unusual shape of their legs, kangaroos and emus struggle to walk backwards. A hippopotamus may seem huge but it can still run faster than a man. Even if an analog clock is broken, at least it shows the correct time twice a day. Sneezing with your eyes open is impossible. The trickiest tongue twister in the English language is apparently "Sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick". Give it a try and see for yourself.

  8. "Sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick".

  9. Could you: • Identify and explain 2 ways in which Aboriginal students learn science.

  11. Science Education for the Future: Technology when taught with science provides opportunities for creative thinking and practical realisation of ideas which are essential learning for young children. Incorporating science and technology into play will spark interest and encourage further study to the benefit of a technologically literate community and increased numbers of scientists, technicians and engineers Dr Doreen Clark

  12. Technology Education for the Future One of the key responsibilities in developing our students lies with educators who have to enlighten students about teh importance of technological literacy, its role in environmental sustainability.... Primary education can pave the way in increasing interest and passion in students for these technological studies through the implementation of learning activities that help them to understand their relevance for their future.

  13. In practice the use of a problem-solving hands on approach to learning provides opportunity for a broader range of students to learn. Mr Peter Thompson

  14. Primary Science & Technology – Best Practice Understanding student engagement in science and technology....positioning children as researchers of their own technological and scientific knowledge and capability, as located within their home and community practises Cultural-historical theory – attention to community activities for building children’s capabilities

  15. Exam format, 2010, Science and Technology • There are 7 questions to answer in total
