Connecting Science - Dynamic Learning Network CD Year 7

Connecting Science is a new enquiry-based course with built-in flexibility to enable personalised learning.

At its heart are interactive resources that can be presented on-screen from the Dynamic Learning Network CD-ROM.

The CD-ROM screens are topic-based, matching the topics in the Connecting Science Pupil's Guide and Teacher's Guides.

A resource menu lists the digital resources provided for each topic (Core and Options lessons).

The relevant Teacher's Guide page can also be opened, providing lesson plans with learning objectives and levelled outcomes for each topic.

The lesson plans in the Connecting Science Year 7 Teacher's Guide show how resources on the Dynamic Learning Network CD-ROM support each part of the lesson.

Users can also search for resources by keyword, topic and resource type, allowing teachers to select relevant contexts for their school vary task style to meet the individual needs of different learners customise and adapt schemes of work to suit different teaching styles and levels of experience. The resources on this Network CD-ROM provide: task briefs to support activities from Options lessons background information, stimulus images and vetted weblinks to motivate pupils and support them in completing tasks and activities write-in planners to support pupils in planning open-ended enquiry or research skills tutorials to show how to think scientifically, analyse and communicate results animations of concepts which are hard to visualise interactive quizzes and open-ended tasks to review pupils' progress and encourage them to assess their own progress.

The tools provided also enable teachers to import their own resources and weblinks into the lesson groups, and to populate a VLE at the click of a button.
