• This common science misconceptions activity is a great way to start your science year!

• The idea is that science always searches for the truth. Just because most people believe something, or for our whole lives we thought something was true doesn’t necessarily mean it is.

• Students will learn to question everything.

• There is a poster that explains what a misconception is, six common misconceptions and the fact, and a tips and suggestions sheet for teachers. There is also a follow-up worksheet for students to write a misconception and the fact surrounding that misconception.

This Mini-Lesson explores your anxiety to support students to find their inner calm. Students will be encouraged to reframe their thoughts by reflecting on questions. Students will also explore affirmations as a way to remind themselves as to how strong they are and coping strategies which will help them the most when they are feeling anxious. An exploration of future dreams and goals will support students to step out of the moment and plan for the future.

This is a great resource for students who need to explore and address their worries!
