We have been asking some BIG questions about Discovery... like:
What is Discovery?
- Something you don't know
- Exploring/finding out
- Something new
- A change in your understanding
How do discoveries take place?
- When you find something you didn't know about
- Through exploring...
* Looking for things
* Hunting and Searching
* Going to new places
* Meeting new people and learning from them/about them
* By observation
* Through experimenting
* When something unexpected happens (accidental discovery)
What qualities help us to discover?
- Persisting/patience - Observing details/Focusing
- Thinking Creatively - Questioning and curiosity
- Thinking Flexibly - Managing self/impulsivity
- Validating/checking - Thinking critically
- Making connections
We use our 5 science capabilities, key competencies and Habits of Mind to discover.
