Science: PILL+ PILE methodology
PILL methodology
1. Teacher as a guide in the teaching- learning process: open questions to develop
thinking skills and language abilities
2. Guided activities: - Manipulation/Experimentation3. Children describe what they see
and why it happens.4. Drawing conclusions5.Small groups/ whole class work to
share ideas6.Oral/written work
PILL+PILE aproach: scientific knowlege
1. Teacher as a guide in the teaching- learning process: open questions to develop
thinking skills and language abilities
2. Open activities: thinking of hypothesis.
3. Carring out experiments in groups.
4. Proving hypothesis and making changes when necessary.
5. Sharing experiments ( different ways)
6. Drawing conclusions.
7. Oral and written work.
8.Small groups/ whole class work.Escola Vila Olímpica/ PILE 2012-2013
Science Contents• Identifying and controlling variables that influence the experiment
(e.g. gradient ,quantity of water, sand and pebbles).
• Making hypothesis :experimenting, observing, predicting and communicating the results of the experiment.
• Forming simple and easily proven hypotheses.
• Understanding teacher’s explanation/classmate’s during the course of the experiment.
• Understanding texts about rivers and the corresponding experiments.
• Answering questions related to the experiments in a clear and logical manner.
• Oral and written description/explanation of the experiments.Escola Vila Olímpica/ PILE 2012-2013
Language Contents

Questions to carry out the scientific aproach.
• How do you think rivers start?
• What activity can you do to prove how a river starts?
• What will you need to prove it?
• Where will you carry out this activity?

Carrying out the scientific approach.• Depending on what they do....
• Why did you choose these materials?
• Why did you place the activity here?
• Depending on what they answer...
• Can rivers flow on flat land?
• Does all the water flow down?Escola Vila Olímpica/ PILE 2012-2013
Other questions.....
Experimenting
• Where do rivers start? How?• Does the water flow in a straight line? Why?• Why does water change its colour?• How fast does the water flow at the beginning of its course? Why? And in
the middle? Why? And at the end? Why?• Where does the river flow fastest? Why?• Where does the river flow slowest? Why?• What happens to the river along its course? How does it affect the land?• Do you see a tributary? Why?• Where do rivers end? What happens at the end?• What happens if we pour more water? Why?• What happens if the slope is steeper?........
