AOK Round-About: Natural Sciences & Mathematics
Each round of the AOK study will consist of the following parts:
1. A collaborative study of one section of the knowledge framework for one of two given
AOKs—Scope, Perspectives, Methods and Tools, and Ethics
2. A 25-30 minute product that will pass your knowledge along to your classmates.
3. An individual 1-page sketchnote showing what you've learned from other teams in the class.
How it will work:
For each round, you will teach a specific component of the AOK framework
You will have one full class meeting to work with your team. This may not be enough time to
complete the study and plan your product. You'll have to decide as a team who will do what outside
of class time.

🗹
Engaging. Classmates & Teacher are drawn in to the exhibition from the start and
attention does not waver throughout
🗹
Multimodal. 3+ mediums are used to support engagement
🗹
Live. Exhibition is not pre-recorded though may include some video footage
🗹
Organized. Exhibition is organized in a coherent manner. Transitions between
mediums are smooth and planned. There are no awkward silences amongst team
members
🗹
Time Efficient. Exhibition time is closer to 25 minutes, maximum 30. Exhibition is
not repetitive in its content. Engagement is linked to effective use of time
🗹
Personal Knowledge. Team members demonstrate expert knowledge on the
aspect of the framework
🗹
Shared Knowledge. Through the engaging exhibition, classmates learn something
new or a new way to understand the aspect of the AoK
2. Sketchnote will focus on evaluating your engagement & the content recorded.
