Concept Cartoons
The series of Concept Cartoon books and posters are already
an established classroom tool and provide children with easy
to understand yet challenging introductions to key science
concepts.
The authors, Stuart Naylor and Brenda Keogh, are teacher-trainers
at Manchester Metropolitan University and have worked extensively
in researching their effective use in primary science teaching.
This unit introduces concept cartoons, describes the rationale
behind them and invites you to watch two teachers making excellent
use of them with lower and upper primary groups.
Objectives
-
Discover what concept cartoons are and how they should be used
-
Review your current teaching to identify how concept cartoons could improve
dialogue with children
-
