This is one of a family of 14 resources aimed to encourage independent research skills for more able students. THERE IS NOW ALSO A TEACHERS’ GUIDE. There is a blank template and example topics including: ac generation, batteries , electromagnetism, graphene, industrial processes, magnetism, metals, newest elements ( atomic numbers over 100), polymers, rocks, solar energy, wind generation. This a one of many differentiation tools available to teachers. Research topics can be done in class, with books, in libraries, in rooms with computers or tablets. These topics would make an ideal cover lesson. Research could be published in a school newsletter, the school website or blog or in student publication magazines and blogs. Duration: This depends on the age and ability of the students. For youngest students it could be for a week’s homework. As students get older the tasks could be set for half a term, even a whole term, could be linked with a science fair, STEM activity, open evening, assembly or business or commerce event.

Preparing to return to your school buildings? Ready to address and solve Post pandemic problems? This document is designed to help senior leaders devise strategies for helping students catch up and consolidate their learning. There are three strategies listed: Independent Research Projects Cross curricular projects Collaborative learning projects By setting simple research project teachers can help students to learn a lot about a subject very rapidly. Independent research opportunities are one of the best chances students can be given to deepen and widen their knowledge. Students who have been given opportunities to study topics of particular interest to them have on occasions gone on to do a doctorate in those areas! Knowledge does not exist in little compartments and nor does learning. Cross curricular learning is important for students enabling them construct their understanding of the world. As we seek ways to help students catch up, CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES HELP TIME CONSTRAINTS – MORE CONTENT CAN BE COVERED. Collaborative learning is a much under-used technique in schools. . By talking and writing at the same time students can cross-fertilise ideas and produce much better material than any single student could do. When consolidating learning these experiences will provide opportunities to fill the gap in learning. If students are asked to produce a paragraph on a particular topic, then each student may have accessed different information during their home studies. By putting together three different collections of information, the students are able to share knowledge. • Why not use the checklist to see which strategies your school is using to help students catch up and consolidate their learning? • Ask different stake-holders to complete the document and compare their scores. • Complete the audit when school re-opens, then at the beginning of the next two terms. What does the result tell you?

The resource consists of a PowerPoint slide with a series of ‘answers’ relating to Solar Energy. Students are asked to create questions that would give these answers. The technique develops thinking skills as there are NO RIGHT QUESTIONS. The visual example is particularly appealing to students with dyslexia to students with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and those with reading difficulties; lower ability students and a range of Special Educational Needs (especially if you allow them to speak their answer – not write it! Try using a digital recorder or voice to text for example); The blank template provided allow teachers to design their own resources. Word clouds appeal to a students’ creativity.

After lockdown, when people return to school, suddenly digital literacy has become really important for both students and their teachers. As education is catapulted into the 21 century digital skills are at a premium and are developing rapidly. This resource provides a series of audits for schools derived from the UK government Essential digital skills framework which defines the digital skills adults need to safely benefit from, participate in and contribute to the digital world. There are 12 FREE documents in the series: • Digital Foundation skills audit for teachers • Digital Foundation skills audit for students • Digital Communication skills audit for teachers • Digital Communication skills audit for students • Digital Handling Information and Content skills for teachers (this one) • Digital Handling Information and Content skills for students • Digital Transaction audit skills for teachers • Digital Transaction skills audit for students • Digital Problem-Solving skills audit for teachers • Digital Problem-Solving skills audit for students • Digital Being Safe and Legal Online skills audit for teachers • Digital Being Safe and Legal Online skills audit for students The wording for teachers, as the adults, is taken directly from the framework and turned into a checklist for schools to use. In the students’ checklists the wording has been slightly modified and the changes, made by the author, shown in red. The documents are in Word format to allow teachers to easily simplify and modify for their settings. Also available is detailed teacher guidance about how these documents can be used in schools, including strategies to develop skills gaps found through the audits and ideas about comparing and addresses mismatches between teachers and students’ digital skills.
