Type of Resource: Weblink

This online resource helps develop a teacher's overall pedagogy.

The resource, The BitL tool – Bringing it to life tool, is an interactive webpage developed by SA Teaching and Learning Services (DECD) and has science as one of its learning areas.

The Bringing it to Life (BitL) online tool demonstrates high-challenge pedagogy through a series of questions that support students as both thinkers and problem solvers.

The conceptual narrative is a series of audio stories that provide a detailed developmental sequence of science concepts from Foundation to Year 10 for different learning areas. The brief sound bites tell the story of the scientific overarching ideas and concepts, demonstrating how they interconnect and grow in complexity over time.

BitL printables consist of posters, placemats, questioning tools and BitL overviews, that have been designed to be used in classrooms with students F–10
