|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (meme/visual) |
Teacher: “Look at this image on the screen (a meme showing a scientist with messy hair and a sign ‘I have a theory… it could be aliens!’). Work in pairs — discuss: Why is this about us? How does it connect to our lesson today?” Allow 1 minute for pair talk, then invite 1-2 pairs to share ideas. Expected responses: “It’s about science, theories, and investigating the unknown – like science across cultures.” “Scientists question everything, and we will question texts today.” AI tool suggestion: Use ChatGPT to generate a short humorous scientific dialogue or Midjourney to create a custom ‘science and culture’ meme before the lesson. |
