ASE SE Asia Conference POSTPONED #ASEConfAsia

The Improving Secondary Science Guidance suggest, “pupils need to be explicitly taught new scientific vocabulary and this can be challenging; however, it is familiar words used in unfamiliar contexts that cause most difficulty.”  
In this interactive session, the presenter will provide teachers with an example of simple and easy to use resources that will enable them to explicitly teach the scientific graphing vocabulary which is in line with the document published by the ASE, The Language of Mathematics in Science (Richard Boohan , 2016).

The strategies explore the links between the shapes of graphs and the words used to describe them, and focus on consolidating the language needed to describe graphs using online quizzes and develop pupils’ fluency in that language using CALPS activities.  Participants will have the opportunities to discuss whether this is an efficient way of teaching vocabulary and aids understanding, as well as share their own alternative strategies and approaches.
