As a class we watched a TED Talk by Willie Smits on the deforestation of Boreo for the palm oil industry. The science described in the video can be challenging for grade 10 students, however it engaged them thoroughly in the topic. During the video, students brainstormed questions they had about the science in an online chat (www.todaysmeet.com or D2L chat tool worked well for us). After the video, we took the brainstormed questions and organized them in a Google Doc. This allowed us to focus in on 10 – 15 big ideas or concept.
