Our 8S1 group have been working with Mr Adams from the University of Birmingham to help adapt and develop models of the solar system and how nuclear fusion occurs within the Sun. We discussed the pros and cons of different model representations of natural phenomena and decided to have a go at making our more accurate living models. They soon discovered though that completing many rotations during a single orbit is not very easy! Their innovation and analysis of our models has really shown how they are thinking hard!
7S4 have been learning about why dual coding is so so important! We’ve been learning about fertilisation and germination (which both have LOTS of key words they need to be able to recall). So we looked at an image, turned it into a step-by-step flow process and then (to show they understood it) then attempted to recreate the image from the start of the activity without having any access to their books. As you can see they did incredibly well and managed to recall quite a few key structures. Well done!
