  1. The Thinking Frames Approach Raising attainment in Science Pauline Rees

  2. Problem = Why are we able to separate the salt from the sand? Cams Hill Science Consortium Pupil data “Katie” Calendar Age 11.6 Reading Age 10.3 Cognitive Abilities Test scores Verbal 84 Quantitative 87 Non verbal 74 Key Stage 2 SATS data English 3 Maths 4 Science 4

  3. Thinking FrameProblem = Why were we able to separate the salt from the sand?

  4. Why are we able to separate the salt from the sand? Cams Hill Science Consortium Pupil data “Katie” Calendar Age 11.6 Reading Age 10.3 Cognitive Abilities Test scores Verbal 84 Quantitative 87 Non verbal 74 Key Stage 2 SATS data English 3 Maths 4 Science 4 Thinking Frame problem solving paragraph “The particles separate when one solute dissolves. The salt dissolves. The sand doesn’t. The solvent gives the salt particles energy to help the salt dissolve. The sand does not dissolve. The water mixed with the salt went through the filter paper sand was left behind.”

  5. Problem = What happens during the distillation? Cams Hill Science Consortium Pupil data “Rebecca” Calendar Age 11.6 NFER Reading Score 130+ Cognitive Abilities Test scores Verbal 120 Quantitative 126 Non verbal 130 Key Stage 2 SATS data English 5A Maths 5B Science 5A

  6. Thinking FrameProblem = What happens during the distillation?

  7. Thinking FrameHaving been introduced to the Thinking Frame the group were encouraged apply the principles of the approach in different contexts

Thinking Frame problem solving paragraph “The particles in the perfume evaporate in the room temperature and start to spread out in the room because the heat has given the particles energy to rise into the air. The perfume particles move to places where there are less particles until they are evenly spread in the room. They then stop spreading out but keep moving. The particles keep spreading out because they ‘want’ to be evenly spaced”.
