Great Question Ponder — The Great Science Share for Schools

This talking task engages pupils of all ages in sharing ideas and opinions when pondering questions related to sustainability.

Designed with the support of the Climate Adapted Pathways for Education (CAPE) team, using Huthwaite International’s verbal behaviour strategies and linking with Thinking, Doing, Talking Science (TDTScience) PMI, the Great Question Ponder poses questions and statements for group discussion before or on the Great Science Share for Schools’ day.

In remembrance…

We mark the loss of our dear friend, Dr Helen Wilson, a key developer and researcher of the Thinking, Doing, Talking Science approach. Helen was a Principal Lecturer in Science Education at Oxford Brookes University. She was particularly interested in the potential of science for the development of higher order thinking skills and is the co-author of the book ‘Challenges in Primary Science: Meeting the Needs of Able Young Scientists at Key Stage 2’. As the developer of the 'Bright Ideas Time' her work will have impact beyond her years.
