Tofsvipa i grönsaksfältet - ett mysteriespel

Beskrivning

This handbook introduces a mystery-based learning activity designed for teachers to guide students in understanding the ecological challenges surrounding the decline of the lapwing population. Using the “Mystery Method,” this resource enables students aged 10–13 to engage in inquiry-based learning and collaborative problem-solving while exploring biodiversity and the human impact on ecosystems. 

Sixth-year students are introduced to an intriguing “mystery game,” a research-based learning activity designed for small groups of 2-4 participants. The game begins with a compelling research question that challenges students to explore the reasons behind the decline in the lapwing population, covering biological, ecological, sociological, and economic factors. To aid in their investigation, students are provided with information cards. These cards offer crucial insights into the lapwing’s situation without directly giving away the answer, encouraging students to think critically and piece together the information themselves. 

The cards are deliberately brief and supplemented with graphics, maps, and images to cater to diverse reading preferences and enhance comprehension. During a plenary session, each group shares their proposed solutions, sparking a collaborative discussion on the most persuasive findings and the evidence supporting them. The teacher plays a key role in guiding this discussion, ensuring that it remains focused and productive, and leading students towards the correct conclusion if necessary.
