A current curriculum development. Enquiry Based Learning. Based around developing Scientific Thinking Skills, we are using two frame works. A generic enquiry cycle and a hierarchy of science specific strcutures. Supporting students through develpoing their reasoning skills with a toolbox of thinking tools. The scaffold is also planningto gradually be removed. The photographs are just a slection of studnt work, where they have chosen tools to help prcess their learning during an enquiry.
