    #asechat I like the idea of using formulas and graphs to tell stories
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    #asechat I'll say it now; "Science as Additional Language" is a really useful thing to bear in mind. English English =/= Science English

    How do you use Williams Words in your teaching? #asechat

    Excited to chat with #ASEchat to learn more about STEM in education. This is what I hope to specialize in as a future educator #EDU3161
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:07 PM EDT
    I don't use it regularly. But I have used it as classroom dictionary. #asechat

    Really helps me in biology teaching to have a very rudimentary understanding of latin! #asechat

    #asechat pictures first, then narratives... like learning any language. "Once upon a time..."
  • natkin - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    And concept cartoons make a great discussion point #asechat

    would this be a picture sequence as in Comic Life, or a single image with lots of technical labels? #ASEChat
    In reply to @MrsSingleton, @natkin
  • katelyn95215 Jul 10 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    How would You use concept cartoons in a stem class MrsSingleton? #asechat #EDU3161 Thats a cool idea to think about
    In reply to @natkin
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    and make explicit the difference. Like the idea of 'false friends' in languages teaching. 'Energy' in Sci =/= 'Energy' in English. #asechat

    I agree, children respond well to pictures and technology in education. The use of both can redesign a stem class #EDU3161 #asechat

    A picture sequence of an experiment is a great way to get chldn to describe their work - annotate the pix #ASEChat

    Sequencing images and trying to use as few words as possible can be effective #asechat

    Loads of stuff here https://t.co/lzS9gZcbFj Literacy in science training materials, talk, reading, writing in science #asechat
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    Force, weight, current, wave - any more physics 'co-terms'? #asechat
    In reply to @teachingofsci, @katelyn95215
  • MrsSingleton Jul 10 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    Also we must be scared of students reading their work out to each other, discussion really developed oracy and literacy #asechat

    Push is a cause (force) which affects an object. Effect is shared (divided by) the conditions (mass), leading to consequence (acc). #asechat

    Indeed... getting students to talk is incredibly powerful too #asechat

    The additional handouts are worth a look https://t.co/lzS9gZcbFj some models of different types of writing #asechat

    Except a Nuffield card sequence we once used showing stages of mitosis - less than successful! #ASEChat

    They have to talk before they can write, think the posh term is ‘multi-modal’ Think it, say it, write it, know it #asechat

    Some of my favourite stuff here https://t.co/jhjUTMbRIx “level 6” resource packs for developing all sorts including literacy #asechat

    Have you also got a link to LSS (Learning Skills in Science) materials for learning how to extract meaning from text, graphs etc? #asechat

    pages and pages of Catalyst journals to help persuade students to read about science https://t.co/F8qzES5CQG #asechat
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:22 PM EDT
    have colleagues compared debates in science lessons with those in other subjects? Useful to see how they do it. Lots of variation. #asechat
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:22 PM EDT
    I notice the OCR GCSE physics formula sheet is in words not symbols. Students need to be able to describe relationships in words #ASEChat
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    Learning Skills in Science (LSS) one for you @ViciaScience 14-16 https://t.co/r0K6N3AiaW #asechat
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    for older students, the 'Review' magazines are good too. Apart from the bits I wrote, obviously. #asechat
    In reply to @NeedhamL56
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:24 PM EDT
    My experience is that 'debates' are rarely as engaging in science as they are in history and other subjects #asechat
    In reply to @teachingofsci
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:25 PM EDT
    What is the topic #asechat
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:25 PM EDT
    and LSS for Post 16 https://t.co/z6Ei0VchYH .. 6 skills including oracy, writing and research/reading all needed by scientists #asechat
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:25 PM EDT
    which is odd, because the ideas are just as dramatic, exciting. Adding moral dimension often helps. #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:26 PM EDT
    Developing oracy and confidence in using key vocabulary - tonights topic #ASEChat
    In reply to @A_Weatherall
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:26 PM EDT
    #asechat In debates, having kids make explicit distinction between scientific issues (eg cost of cloning) and moral ones helps. Both matter!
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:27 PM EDT
    I guess many students think science already thinks it has the answers, and so debating is not likely to change anything? #ASEChat
    In reply to @teachingofsci
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    AQA is both. Symbols are a translation. That's fine. They're asked to give formula (equation 😣) that relates given terms (words) #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • natkin - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    Reading listening and evaluating - possibly not done enough in lessons? #asechat
    In reply to @MrsSingleton, @ViciaScience
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    This feels too ‘narrow’ we get obsessed with key vocab, just because there a lot of it. lists of key words and spellings.. The End #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience, @A_Weatherall
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    Too much of our specs are factual stuff rather than application to solving global problems - so no space for conjecture #ASEChat
    In reply to @teachingofsci
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:29 PM EDT
    But they're two different things. Words in physics formulae don't hide detail, they do in chemical formulae #asechat
    In reply to @CurlyMan66, @ViciaScience
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:29 PM EDT
    I agree #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience, @teachingofsci
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:30 PM EDT
    This is a nice resource for developing critical awareness of science in the news. Recommended #ASEChat
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    Vocab is important #asechat. But they have to know and understand definition else it's just another word.
    In reply to @NeedhamL56, @ViciaScience
  • teachingofsci Jul 10 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    Giving kids nominal budget, then have them argue for which projects get funded is interesting. Cf 'who gets the heart transplant?' #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:32 PM EDT
    So introduce a new term first and then explore meaning, or talk about situation before adopting the 'correct term'? #asechat
    In reply to @A_Weatherall, @NeedhamL56
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    Often wondered about this. Naming a bird or flower is important in coming to understand more about it #ASEChat
    In reply to @A_Weatherall, @NeedhamL56
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    I think words hinder in both situations. Try rearranging an equation with many words eg. gravitational potential energy Nightmare. #asechat

    In reply to @ViciaScience, @NeedhamL56
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:36 PM EDT
    Try and tease out what is meant by "current" or "heating". Words are very important in science. #asechat they do a lot of work. Like "work".

  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:39 PM EDT
    Some say the 'word load' in learning science at GCSE (esp biology) can be as great as a foreign language load #asechat
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator Jul 10 @ 3:39 PM EDT
    I don't think our students understand how important particular words are in science. #asechat they need to be used precisely, like numbers.

    #asechat on train through new forest - beautiful but shocking signal ! Apologies if I go quiet

    #asechat so what *explicit* teaching on oracy do we do? Or should we do, perhaps?
  • _theteachr Jul 10 @ 3:48 PM EDT
    Think someone once suggested learning the new words for, for e.g. A level biology was equivalent of learning a new language... #asechat
  • ViciaScience Jul 10 @ 3:48 PM EDT
    A classic work if you agree oracy is more than using the correct key word #ASEChat

    #asechat not getting students to discuss formally, but getting them to write long answers really picks out misconceptions.
