I can envisage using an inquiry-based activity on Gravity with my class.
Firstly, we would investigate ‘What way will gravity act in different parts of the Earth?
I would use differentiate questions to ascertain what the children already know about gravity. I would make a list with them to include what they would like to find out about gravity.
Then I would talk the whole class through what experiments we were going to do and what we were investigating. I’d use google slides and a video clip of the set up. I would pause video at point where the actual results of the investigation were visible.
I would remind them that we are now scientists and that we were asking questions and experimenting and would be drawing some conclusions!
I would then divide the class into groups of four and hand out the materials: paper, pencil, orange, plasticine. I would circulate as they carried out the activity and help as necessary.
I might record some of the action! Then we would pause and discuss what was happening and draw some conclusions.
We would record the experiment using a diagram in a science copy!
