Background• POE strategy used to uncover individual students’ predictions, and their reasons for making these, about a specific event (White and Gunstone, 1992)• Uses: • ﬁnd students initial ideas • provide teachers with information about students’ thinking • generate discussion • motivate students to want to explore the concept • generate investigations.

StepsStep 1: Demonstrate• Set up a demonstration of an event, related to the focus topic, that may surprise students, and which can be observed.• Tell the students what you are going to be doing.Step 2: Predict• Ask the students to independently write their prediction of what will happen.• Ask them what they think they will see and why they think this.Step 3: Observe• Carry out the demonstration.• Allow time to focus on observation.• Ask students to write down what they do observe.Step 4: Explain• Ask students to amend or add to their explanation to take account of the observation.• After students have committed their explanations to paper, discuss their ideas together.
