Transcript of Using Group Work to Develop Knowledge: Quick on the Draw!
Quick on the draw: Adaptation and survival
How does it does it work?
• There are piles of graded questions (E A*)• Get a question (start at E grade), bring it back to the
group. Use the glossary / index / laptop.• Agree together what the answer is. Write it in your
book. All practice saying it from memory. • Call sir or miss over. Only ONE of you will be chosen to
answer. • If you get it right – add an ‘I’ to the scoreboard of
awesomeness, return your Q to the pile, and get the next question.
• If you get it wrong, or only offer an incomplete answer – back to the drawing board!
• Answer the questions as per the ‘Scoreboard of awesomeness (next slide)• When you have completed your row, choose which questions to ask tactically (which
will give you the most points in the shortest space of time?• The group with the most points at the end of the lesson will win an AMAZING prize!!!
Quick on the draw: Adaptation and survival
Different groups may learn slightly different things in this lesson.
However we will all pick up lots of knowledge that will be useful as we move through the unit.
Example learning outcomes
•Define adaptation, competition, seed distribution, living indicators (E)•Explain 3 ways in which plant adaptations help them reduce water loss in hot/dry conditions (C)•Describe the importance of surface area to volume ratio in determining the size of arctic mammals (A)
