Making sense of what we see

In this recorded webinar, Andrea Soanes and Lyn Rogers explore how teachers can support students to interpret and make sense of their observations, focusing on how to utilise students’ prior learning and world views whilst also building on their understandings of the nature of science.

Watching the recorded webinar creates an opportunity to engage with some simple activities from the Science Learning Hub, and it discusses how these ideas can be used to enhance students in their making meaning from observations.

This was brilliant – provided a new perspective of how to use these activities.
