, QUESTION 1: (25)
1.1 Choose FIVE (5) words or ideas in your topic that you think learners will not
understand. Consider some placeholders (words to develop concepts) you could use in
your theme plan and think how you would use activities to informally assess whether
learners use the science words correctly. Remember, we use placeholders because
they hold the place for the development of a scientific understanding of a concept. (10)
Choosing Words or Ideas (Question 1.1):
