Pupils begin each science lesson with a big question, concept cartoon, odd one out exercise or PMI (positive, minus, interesting point) task to consider. These are designed as a hook into the lesson, a way of assessing knowledge and understanding, identifying misconceptions and developing pupils reasoning skills. Key is how children explain and justify their thinking using appropriate scientific vocabulary.

stop questioning.” - Albert Einstein
