What is Scientific Thinking?

Bright Ideas Time

Pupils begin each science lesson with a big question, concept cartoon, odd one out exercise or PMI (positive, minus, interesting point) task to consider. These are designed as a hook into the lesson, a way of assessing knowledge and understanding, identifying misconceptions and developing pupils reasoning skills. Key is how children explain and justify their thinking using appropriate scientific vocabulary.


“The most important thing is to never

stop questioning.” - Albert Einstein
