Question of the week - set 1

(0)
Question of the week is designed to provoke discussion, encourage oracy, develop science talk, research skills and curiosity in your classroom. In each pack, you’ll find 6 questions, each one accompanied by a high quality image, one per week for a half term. Ways to get the most out of our Question of the Week resources: Introduce the question at the start of the week in assembly, in the classroom at registration or at the start of the first science lesson of the week Allow open ended responses for children to wonder, ask more questions, clarify and develop understanding of what the question is asking them Provide sticky notes, pen and paper or mini whiteboard near where the question is shared throughout the week and encourage children to respond with their ideas Encourage children to take the question home and talk about it with their families. There may be some experts in their wider family who can help answer the questions too! Why are there no answers to the questions? Lots of the questions are nuanced deliberately so the answer isn’t clear cut. A quick internet search will give you as an educator a flavour of any key facts to support your responses to their curiosity but the main purpose of these activities is not to be correct but to talk freely about science and encourage curiosity, interest and develop their science capital.

By using this unique set of 26 full colour career cards, you’ll be able to help your learners to explore the endless career potential of the space sector beyond an astronaut… You’ll be amazed at the range of careers we have included including an ultrasound technician, a zipper setter and a lawyer to name just a few! Each card is attractively designed with a photo, outline of the job and skills they could utilise in this career path. ** Ways to get the most out of our A-Z Space careers pack** • Print the full set in A4 and make an attractive display to prompt discussion about the range of STEM jobs connected to the space sector • Print the full set as A5 cards for groups of children to chat and discuss with each other • Use them one per day over a period of weeks • Use them during space week (4th-10th October) to stimulate conversation connected to careers in the space sector • Create a competition in your school or science club to come up with an A-Z as families, classes or other groups to come up with their own, using ours as a stimulus (to tip, the word …’engineer’ can go after many careers as can …’scientist’)
