15 easy-to-facilitate
presentations combine effective teaching and learning strategies
with superb visuals, ensuring the new programme of study is
an imaginative and motivational experience. Use them to deliver
complete, carefully structured lessons or use individual sections
to compliment your existing lesson plans.
An exciting
combination of problem solving activities, varied questioning
styles and experimental work encourages pupils in KS3 &
KS4 to construct and remodel scientific concepts for themselves,
learning concepts through experimentation and deduction rather
than by rote. This ensures a better depth of understanding
and a fun learning experience.
'Thinkers
in Science' is a unique and complete package designed to inspire
pupils and teachers alike! Presentations are already matched
to AQA and Edexcel but will be matched to any syllabus upon
request.

Thinkers
in Biology (KS3 & 4)
Presentations
Included: Genetics, Nanobot Diffusion, Enzyme Action, Fighting
Disease, Experimental Design (Tropisms)
Analyse
the structure of DNA, model its replication and explore
mutation. Debate genetic engineering and determine how to
clone a film star! Model the workings of white cells, analyse
antibody-antigen interactions and discuss active and passive
immunity in order to manufacture antivenin for snakebites.
Discover biological uses of nanotechnology and describe
diffusion processes future nanobots may go through as they
travel the human body. Investigate the actions of enzymes,
model the 'lock and key' hypothesis and analyse experimental
data to understand how nerve gas works. Develop investigative
skills by analysing and criticising the experimental designs
of Darwin and Boysen-Jensen in their exploration of factors
influencing tropisms.
Includes
Teacher Guides, Student Sheets and Answers.

"The way the presentations
enabled the pupils to learn was astonishing. It was amazing
how quickly students picked up the key ideas”
M Hughes, Science Teacher, Saddleworth High
School
|
Thinkers
in Chemistry (KS3 & 4)
Includes:
Plum Pudding, Electrochemistry, Mission to Mendeleev,
Caving Conundrum & Enterprising Chemistry (Haber Process)
Deduce
models of atomic structure by analysing the results of
Rutherford's gold foil experiment. Explore reactivity,
ionic bonding and covalent bonding through a series of
structured problem solving activities. Model ion migration
in Volta's cell and industrial electrolysis. Challenge
pupils to investigate electrolysis and design a process
for gold plating an object. Use deductive reasoning to
construct a Periodic Table using data from a distant planet.
Predict how substances found on the planet would behave
with our atmosphere. Combine research and practical skills
with logical reasoning to discover how a caver is nearly
killed in a network of limestone caves! In an exciting
way to deliver the Marble Chip investigation. Introduce
Le Chatelier's principle to explain the logic behind the
production of Ammonia and challenge pupils to design a
chemical plant to rival one of the most profitable in
the world!

"It was interesting
to see the lights coming on as discussion, questions and
investigations led each member of the groups to make their
own discoveries of the required science”
B Hocken, Science Initiative Manager
|
Thinkers
in Physics (KS3 & 4)
Includes:
Hot Stuff, Exploring Electricity, Transformer Theory, Motorway
Mayhem and Are You Seeing Straight?
Explore
common misconceptions about processes of heat transfer.
Model heat conduction in metals and investigate a space-age
insulator. Develop conceptual models for current flow, potential
difference and resistance to understand the placement of
meters in a circuit and construct a formula for resistivity.
Analyse results and observations of various coil combinations
on a demountable transformer to deduce the transformer formula
and explain induction. Investigate total internal reflection
in order to explain three intriguing illusions. Analyse
the motion of robots racing across a busy motorway by constructing
motion graphs to determine which make it to the other side
and where others are flattened!
