The document discusses differentiating instruction by managing cognitive load and creating appropriate challenges for students. It contrasts skills-first and content-first lessons, noting that skills-first lessons focus on learning new skills through modeling and practice while applying known content, while content-first lessons focus on understanding new content through practicing known skills. Sample curriculum pathways show how content and skills can be integrated at different levels for students from years 7 to 8.
This presentation provides an overview of inquiry as an instructional strategy, the 5E learning cycle, and how elementary teachers can use these to integrate science and literacy instruction.

In 2007 – eight years ago- the Rocard report asked for renewing science education in Europe and advertised
inquiry based science education (IBSE) as the remedy for many problems we were facing in science education
those days. Several innovative education projects were launched and successfully implemented in many European
countries. Which lessons did we learn? Which questions do we still need to answer?
The topic nanotechnology is a well known
issue associated with discoveries of practical
application. Although it is not reflected
in national curricula, it can be an attractive
theme for students who see the result of
natural science research. Can you imagine
how small “nanoworld” is? How could we
vizualize it? Is it possible to touch nanoparticles?
The participants of the workshop
will get to know what is nano, they will play
a game on nano, see some demonstrations
on scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and
also see the tiniest film ever, “A boy and his
atom”. A presentation from Charles University.
“Science Education for Active citizenship” is a publication on science education offers a 21st century vision
for science for society within the broader European agenda. This report is aimed primarily at science education
policy makers. It identifies the main issues involved in helping citizens to access scientific debate. It provides
guidance on how industry can contribute to science education; and it proposes a new framework for all types
of science education from formal, to non-formal and informal approaches.
Public engagement has already made a real difference in the governance and decision-making process of
Horizon 2020: providing a space for the citizen to tell us what works and what doesn’t, what’s important and
what’s not.
The report makes a substantive contribution to the policy debate within Europe on how best to equip citizens
with the skills they need for active participation in the processes that will shape everyone’s lives.
Learning, and science education in particular, is full of mysteries and opportunities to provoke curiosity. So how can teachers scatter this emotional and cognitive itching powder to excite, rather than frustrate, their students? Discover some of the psychological and performance secrets used by magicians and street buskers to interest their audiences, and learn how educators can apply these techniques. Find out how inventing a toy, instead of doing his homework, made one student a fortune.

What’s special about TEMI teaching? The TEMI teaching methodology comprises four main innovations: first the use of mysteries to capture the students imagination and motivation, second the 5E cycle to help pupils explore and evaluate their learning, third presentation skills to allow teachers to feel comfortable in presenting the classroom mysteries, and finally a method by which responsibility for learning is transferred gradually from teacher to student, so flipping the traditional session.
TEMI is a science education project addressed to secondary school teachers, funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), category Capacities, Science in Society, Coordination Action.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

In the model there are three stages in teaching an enquiry skill:
1. The teacher demonstrates or models the skill – and in particular makes explicit and visible the thinking involved. The student basically just copies what the teacher does.
2. The student begins to take responsibility, but the task is made easier by providing support, known as scaffolding. This could be by making the task less complex, breaking it into stages, or only giving the student part of it.
3. The student now takes on most of the responsibility, and practises a more challenging version of the task, with less support. The teacher’s role is now to coach, providing feedback, and asking questions.
The task is for teachers to adapt an existing lesson by adding a mystery and enquiry structure. In the time available, it is too much work to create a new one from the beginning.
Teachers can work together in pairs on the task.
It is a good idea to group teachers by subject discipline i.e.. Physicists, chemists and biologists working together.
