Teaching Activities
4WS7A: Recreating observations to represent ideas
The following activities are designed to provide students with opportunities to represent their ideas about observations. These activities are not limited to paper but could also be done using technology such as notebook files on an interactive whiteboard.
- Recreating a picture. This activity could be done using a variety of pictures covering range of science based themes including made and natural environments, the human body, the seasons, products, places and spaces. Provide students with a picture. Also provide them with a picture cut into pieces. The students would match the pieces to the correct part of the whole picture.
- Recreating a sequence. This activity could be done using a variety of sequencing activities covering a range of science based themes including life cycles, the seasons and cooking. Provide students with a model of the correct way the sequence occurs. Also provide students with the pieces of the sequence that need to be ordered correctly.
- Tracing/drawing a picture. This activity could be done using a variety of drawing templates covering a range of science based themes including robots, transport and living things. The drawing templates for these activities would change dependent on student ability. It may mean that students are involved in simply making marks on a page to represent their ideas, tracing over whole outlines (a robot) and completing outlines with parts missing (a robot with 1 arm missing).
