What kinds of learning outcomes are appropriate?
To make the most of your visit to Investigate, clear learning objectives related to your work in school are desirable. Learning outcomes that could arise from the types of activity that can be done in Investigate include awareness of: • diversity in the natural world • the nature of scientific enquiry • the use and limitations of tools and techniques • what scientists actually do Other specific objectives with reference to Sc1 may be suitable, but it is important to remember that learning during short visits to museums is primarily affective. Students have only a brief encounter with Investigate, and may need time to adjust to its highly stimulating environment. For advice on the kinds of activity that are suitable for a session in Investigate you are encouraged to contact an Education Officer by calling us on +44 (0)20 7942 5555, or Email us .
