Thursday, February 2, 2012

Today in class, we'll begin with our quiz over Chapters 2 & 3.

We are going to be demonstrating the 5 E Instructional Model (the progression of inquiry) in class today using a number of static electricity experiments. When we're done with the experiments, we'll relate the process to the 5 E's of this instructional model. This model will be used in all of your future science lessons.

Assignment for Thursday, Feb. 9th:
  • Read Chapter 4 in your text.
  • Complete #3 on page 74. Use the information in the chapter about classroom organization. Make sure the space you create allows for appropriate work spaces in which students can engage in science work.
  • Create a list of topics for a 9 month academic year, September through May. Include the following information:
    • Include 12-14 science unit topics.
    • Identify the grade level.
    • Keep in mind the relevant topics, or standards, on page 60 of your text.
    • Maintain a balance of topics between physical, life, space, earth science, etc.
    • You only need to list the topic of the unit for this assignment. You do not need to include any lesson ideas or suggestions or objectives (as described in the chapter).
    • This list must be typed (word processed) and is due at the beginning of class on Feb. 9th.
