Participatory science lesson planning tools

The following guidelines and checklist were iteratively developed with science teacher consultations in twilight sessions at the Science Learning Centre in London. They are designed to help teachers prepare technology-rich science learning experiences. The tool set comprises prompts to consider a range of e-Science and p-Science influenced elements within the lesson. In particular they focus on the value of each element to the learning experience, including possibilities for collaboration with scientists or peers, sharing, contributing or re-using data and extending learning beyond the class or school context.
