Working with discussion

Science teachers are often encouraged to rush from one topic to another delivering science content and explanation without giving students the opportunity to consider why they are believed to be true. To step back and give students an opportunity to reflect on and discuss their ideas can be hard, however it is part and parcel of bioethics teaching.

These pages are intended to support teachers in managing and organising discussion based activities.
