Biologues are a series of talks between friends engaged in the scientific process.  These dialogues have a long and honorable tradition in education.  Plato used them to communicate complex philosophy and Galileo used them as the format of two of his most important scientific works. 

This may be performed in front of the class or students may read them in pairs.  In both cases, use all your dramatic skills and follow the stage directions.  

Throughout the year you will be given the opportunity to write your own biologues.  Follow the rules below and use your creative talents:

·Include two characters of your choice. (ex: Ping and Pong, salt and pepper,  Minny and Mickey, Homer and Marge, sugar and spice, etc.)

·make the dialogues short.

·be sure to include the scientific information.

·avoid having one character speak significantly longer than the other.

·include stage directions. 

 

With a partner, perform the enclosed play Ameba and Paramecium Under the Microscope?”  Make sure that you get your props ready before you begin.  After your reading,  list five facts you learned about the properties of water.

Have fun!
