Drop Thought Kids - What Does the World Really Look Like?
If all living things can see differently, I wonder...what does the world really look like? Students will explore the eyes of different animals, build and test out how they would affect seeing and consider how we make sense of information.

Description
Class Experience
Students will gain an understanding of how the eyes work and how different animals have different cones and rodes that allow us to see differently . They will learn about a variety of living creatures and how they use their senses to make sense of the world. They will try to test out finding objects and identifying them through touch and heat. They will explore how our experiences and opinions may show us different things and consider how we may, or may not, see the world differently.
I have taught Science to 6- 11-year-olds for over 20 years and been trained by Evidence Based Enquiry in the Science of Learning. I have co-ordinated science and assisted others with the teaching of this curriculum area. Drop Thought Kids was run as extra-curricular activities for many years and students were responsible in suggesting their "I wonder..." question. I have a BSc in Science, Post-gradutate degree in teaching and an MA in Comparative Education.
