CM-2: dissolving, the senses, transport.
CS-1: magnetism, machines, the pond.
CS-2: volcanoes, light, substances.
Theoretical approach
The 4Cs – in the whole planning Bloom’s Taxonomy – cognition Cummins’ Matrix – cognition+language The 3As – language of, for and through Vygotsky ZPD – activities Scaffolding – activities
Content
Cognition
- Predicting & checking results- Remembering vocabulary learnt
- Experimenting- Classifying & making lists
- Interpreting & relating experiments to theory
- Comparing different issues- Applying practice to get theory- Reporting theory by completing
charts or drawings- Stating facts
Culture
Communication
Language of learning- specific vocabulary from the 3 content areas & the language of experiments
Language for learning
- understanding instructions- asking & answering questions
- language of discussion- collaborative skills
Language through learning- language which emerges
from experiments- questioning that cannot be
predicted
Magnetism- magnetic & non-magnetic objects
- magnetic strength- magnetic forces- magnetic fields Light
- light & reflection- refraction & lenses- the light spectrum
Substances- dissolving substances- separating mixtures
- reversible & irreversible changes
- Raise awareness of physical processes
- The use of English as a tool- A look into the past
- Sharing ideas and opinionsExperimenting with physical
processes
Some activities – Group work + report
Some activities – Pair & individual work
Some activities – Oral comprehension

Teacher assessment
Student self-assessment
Conclusion
Explain what CLIL is to colleagues but also to the rest of teachers
Review all the Science and Art&crafts lessons to introduce the 4Cs methodology and teach THROUGH English
Scaffold EVERYTHING Create an individual CLIL portfolio Always try to be in touch with people who works with
CLIL to get feedback
