Chapter 5 planning inquiry instruction

•Download as PPTX, PDF•
•

1. The document discusses planning science lessons by selecting content aligned with standards, writing learning objectives, developing learning activities, and planning assessments. It covers writing objectives that specify the audience, behavior, and conditions of learning. 2. Various teaching strategies are described, including introducing lessons to engage students, using discrepant events to reveal student conceptions, and designing activities to develop conceptual understanding and inquiry abilities. 3. Managing instruction involves grouping students, establishing safety rules, and preparing for and monitoring activities. Formative and summative assessments should be used to evaluate learning.

4 Steps in planning well-designed science lessonsSelect science content that is consistent with state or national content standardsWrite learning objectivesDevelop learning activities Plan assessment tasks and procedures
1. Select Science Content NSES: broad goals State standards / District curriculum guides: specific contents FOSS (Full Option Science System)Developing teachers’ knowledge of science Resources: books (textbooks, teachers’ guides, children’s books), internet, other teachers, science specialists, college courses and institutions, conferences, professional development Professional Development (groups)CAST: Colorado Association of Science Teachershttp://coloradocast.org/NSTA: National Science Teachers Association http://www.nsta.org/

Students will learn about instructional objectives.Objective: specific, measurable statementEx.) Given elementary science text material, students will be able to write learning objectives in each of the 3 major domains.
What are instructional objectives? Specific intended learning outcomes Defined by the teacherUsed to define the learning experienceAre directly linked to assessmentShould address the 3 domains of educational outcomes with 3 main componentsHow do teachers use instructional objectives?Planning, Design assessment, Communicate with students 3 Educational Domains Cognitive : student knowledge and thinking processes (know)Psychomotor : students’ fine and gross motor development (do)Affective : students’ values, attitudes and beliefs (be like)
3 Main Components: ABCs of Objectives Audience (who) Behavior (how learning demonstrated)Conditions (activity, reflection, etc.)
Straw AirplaneCut out both of the paper strips on the handout.Bend the paper strips into a loop and use the tape to stick the two ends together. You should have two loops, one larger than the other.Place one piece of tape at the very end of the straw. Make sure that the tape is sticking out so the straw and the tape look like a capital T. Place the other strip of tape at the other end.Slide one loop over the end of the straw and fasten it to the tape there. Do the same thing on the other side of the straw.Toss your airplane.
Sample objectives “Using a straw airplane, the student will be able to accurately diagram and explain lift, thrust, and drag.”
ABCs of Objectives: AudienceIdentify who will be expected to achieve the objectivesLook at the sample: “Using a straw airplane, the student will be able to accurately diagram and explain lift, thrust, and drag.Audience
ABCs of Objectives: Behavior Identify specific type of performance that will be expectedShould be measurable.Use action verbs – do not use words like know or understand. What does know look like?Look at the sample: “Using a straw airplane, the student will be able to accurately diagram and explain lift, thrust, and drag.Action verbs
ABCs of Objectives: Condition Identify the context of the performance What materials will student use to complete the task;
How will students accomplish the task;
Where the performance will occurLook at the sample: “Using a straw airplane, the student will be able to accurately diagram and explain lift, thrust, and drag.ConditionCriterion(Describes how well the student must perform the desired task.)
Objectives call for different levels of thinking Verbs used in instructional objectives (class/test questions) call for different levels of thoughtBloom’s Taxonomy (Bloom, 1956) : Provide basis for writing behavioral objectives at different cognitive levelKnowledge: repeat back facts
Comprehension: interpret, put in own words
Application: use in new situation
Analysis: break into parts
Synthesis: create new pattern
Evaluation: state and defend opinion based on criteriaWrite your own objectives (class points)Using the activities we have done in the classroom, write at least three objectives for that in each domain:Cognitive
Psychomotor
AffectiveUnderline the audience and the behaviors (performance), box the conditions, circle the criterion.
Four forces on an airplane(From the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) website)Lift & Drag are mechanical forces generated by a solid object moving through a fluid (gas or liquid)Weight is a forces caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth. Thrust is a mechanical forces generated by the engines to move the aircraft through the air.
Balloons RocketAttach a string to the ceiling or wall on the far side of the room.Anchor the string across the room so that it stretches as far as possible.Feed the string through the straw.Blow the balloon up but do not tie it off, and attach it to the straw using the tape.Release the balloon. Record the distance it travels.
