Pupil groupings in primary school classrooms: sites for learning and social pedagogy?
Studies of teaching and learning within classrooms rarely consider the
multilayered effects of social context, especially involving within-class groupings. Yet,
all pupils in classes are placed in some form of grouping throughout their classroom life
and this will have an impact on their learning. This article seeks to move forward the
understanding of within-class groupings in real classrooms. Five ‘core themes’ central
to pupils’ experience of groups in classrooms are identified (group s

Personal Behavior and Partner's Sexual History:a Simulation of the Spread of HIV
In this hands-on simulation students evaluate factors associated with the spread of HIV. Each student begins the simulation with an "uninfected" solution. They sequentially mix their solution with a variable number of solutions representing potential mates, some of which contain an antigen used to represent HIV. Students evaluate each individual's final solution with a modified ELISA procedure to screen for the antigen simulating HIV. They then use these results to reconstruct the spread of HIV

Rube Goldberg and the Meaning of Machines
Simple and compound machines are designed to make work easier. When we encounter a machine that does not fit this understanding, the so-called machine seems absurd. In this lesson, the cartoons of Rube Goldberg are introduced and engage the students in critical thinking about the way his inventions make a simple task even harder to complete. As the final lesson in the simple machines unit, the study of Rube Goldberg machines can help students evaluate the importance and usefulness of the many ma

Creativity requires that the school of knowing finds connections with the school of expressing, opening the doors to the hundred languages of children. (Loris Malaguzzi, 1990) In each of t
