Founded on the premise that zoos are 'bilingual'-that the zoo, in
the shape of its staff and exhibits, and its visitors speak
distinct languages-this enlightening analysis of the informal
learning that occurs in zoos examines the 'speech' of exhibits and
staff as well as the discourse of visitors beginning in the
earliest years. Using real-life conversations among visitors as a
basis for discussion, the authors interrogate children's responses
to the exhibits and by doing so develop an 'informal learning
model' and a 'zoo knowledge model' that prompts suggestions for
activities that classroom educators can use before, during, and
after a zoo visit. Their analysis of the 'visitor voice' informs
creative suggestions for how to enhance the educational experiences
of young patrons. By assessing visitors' entry knowledge and their
interpretations of the exhibits, the authors establish a baseline
for zoos that helps them to refine their communication with
visitors, for example in expanding knowledge of issues concerning
biodiversity and biological conservation. The book includes
practical advice for zoo and classroom educators about positive
ways to prepare for zoo visits, engaging activities during visits,
and follow-up work that maximizes the pedagogical benefits. It also
reflects on the interplay between the developing role of zoos as
facilitators of learning, and the ways in which zoos help visitors
assimilate the knowledge on offer. In addition to being essential
reading for educators in zoos and in the classroom, this volume is
full of insights with much broader contextual relevance for getting
the most out of museum visits and field trips in general.

This Foundation Workbook is designed to support the development of
key literacy and numeracy skills of students in the 1-3 grade
range, as well as building confidence in answering open response
questions. The amount of scaffolded support decreases throughout
the workbook to encourage independent learning. - Summarises all
the Foundation content to be learned for each topic - Provides
plenty of practice questions - Builds confidence by showing how to
answer questions or work through calculations - Helps students to
improve their answers by focusing on use of key scientific
vocabulary, how to link key concepts, and work with graphs Each
topic opens with a bulleted summary of the key ideas, reminding
students of the key scientific vocabulary and equations they should
be able to recall. The questions begin with confidence-building,
low demand questions (multiple choice, matching, sentence
completion or closed short answer) leading to more open questions
including calculations as part of structured questions. The
questions include applying and analysing as well as recall, for
example bringing in skills used in analysing results from practical
work. Frequent support notes provide hints and tips on key
vocabulary, how to answer open response questions (for example by
writing causal explanations), strategies for decoding questions
(for example by identifying key words in the question) and how to
interpret information from tables and graphs. 'Show me' writing
frames demonstrate how to build longer answers, how to work with
equations in science and how to convert units. In later pages the
level of scaffolding is gradually reduced by removing the guided
support so that students are supported in becoming independent
learners throughout their GCSE course.
The Cambridge Lower Secondary Complete Biology Teacher Handbook
offers full support to help teachers embed a solid foundation at
Lower Secondary level and ensure students develop the skills
required to progress to IGCSE Biology. The Handbook supports
educators to teach the Biology requirements of the Cambridge Lower
Secondary Science curriculum confidently. Guidance on lesson
content and delivery saves time when lesson-planning, and teaching
materials help to ensure that students reach their full potential.
It is written by Ann Fullick, the experienced author of the Biology
Student Book. This creates a consistent approach to lessons and
ensures the strengths of the series are maintained across all
resources. The Teacher Handbook supports the Student Book, which is
at the heart of delivering the course. A supporting Workbook also
provides opportunities for independent practice inside and outside
the classroom.
