Sammensæt dyr og ting  | Håndværk og design Videoen viser, hvordan en kort og let opgave om at sammensætte et dyr og en ting kan sætte kreativiteten i gang hos eleverne. Opgaven hedder ”tænk kreativt” og Anja Maria Schmelling introducerer til hvilke materialer og regler, der skal bruges. På 10 min skal eleverne individuelt koble dyr og ting til nye konstellationer og på den måde træne deres kreativitet. Rune Rex beskriver mulige abstraktionsniveauer til biomimik og lægger vægt på, at øvelsen hovedsagligt handler om at opbygge elevernes kreative selvtillid, komme i den rigtige stemning, lege for legens skyld og turde skabe mange idéer. Eleverne præsenteres for designmetoder og afprøver ideer. Her er et par eksempler på elevernes ideer: Læringsmål: eleverne kan frembringe egne ideer ud fra givne rammer. Videoen er den anden i en serie af videoer, der tager os igennem et undervisningsforløb i design med fokus på kreativ tænkning/idéudvikling. Filmet november 2015 på Kastrupgårdsskolen, Tårnby kommune.

Stonehenge - another perspective Timewatch has always had an interest in new areas of research and in examining topics which inspire debate. Stonehenge in particular prompted lively comments on our Timewatch forum. Here Dr. Olwen Williams-Thorpe, an archaeological scientist, presents her own perspective on Darvill and Wainwright's theory as explored by the Timewatch Stonehenge8 programme. The central theme of the program was the hypothesis that Stonehenge was a prehistoric ‘healing’ centre. Unfortunately, this simply does not fit the geological evidence. My work includes extensive research into the bluestones at Stonehenge which started in 1987 when I and a small group of OU colleagues were granted the unique privilege of drilling some tiny samples from the bluestones for modern geochemical investigation. As a result it is clear to me that the bluestones actually come from all over South Wales. Copyrighted image Credit: Photos.com Stonehenge.
