Here is the feedback from the Sciences
group (Masimba Murungweni, Nhlanhla Phakathi, Elias Ditshwene, Siya Dzingwa,
Ian O’Donoghue and Sarah Taylor).
We discussed 2 broad focuses:
- The role of language (particularly in a second language context) in teaching Science
- The ability (or inability) of students to visualise abstract concepts
We then decided on the lesson that we
were going to observe:
- Elias is teaching Light to his Grade 8s next week so we thought that this would fit nicely with the second of our focuses.
- He is going to conduct a lesson on Light (Reflection – the relationship between the angle of incidence and reflection of a ray of light on a mirror) next week.
We will plan his lesson in more detail
in our next cell meeting so that we can refine exactly what it is that we are
looking for in the lesson.
