Teachable Moments
50 years since Sputnik. Oh look, here are a few fantastic 'teachable moments'...
Oh that's right... you can't fit it in because you're doing a bloody 'integrated unit' on Antarctica! or have a few speeling worksheets to finish.
Did I mention that I'm not a big fan of 'Integrated Units'. ;(
cheers

i agree! Teachable moments are interesting and exciting and give opportunity for the children to relate/react to their everyday world. Often that's the best place to get children thinking outside the box.
I quite agree, the research findings in this area is rather limited and generally inconclusive
