ACTIVITY #2 KWL: What do we Know? What do we Wonder? What have we Learned? ALTERNATIVE WAY TO TALK ABOUT GERMS. BASIC CONCEPT Another option for documenting learning over time while introducing and then, learning more about this concept is through the use of a KWL chart. This simple activity is an effective way to engage children in a brainstorming discussion through the use of these questions - What do you KNOW about germs? What do you WANT to know or WONDER about germs? What have we LEARNED about germs? This is a well-known and effective instructional strategy that can help guide students through the exploration of a new concept. The first two questions are used in the introduction of the concept. The last question is used at the end of the study to summarize what has been learned. This process helps children to clarify misconceptions about a topic, as well. MATERIALS NEEDED ❑ Group or Individual chart paper(s) or poster board(s) labeled K W L (see samples on following pages) ❑ Black marker ❑ Crayons, colored pencils, and/or washable markers
