    While watching the students answer the questions, I noticed that several of them never lined up the paper slip with the bat or any of the other objects they were measuring. Their endpoints never lined up, causing them to incorrectly answer the first six questions. This lack of knowledge went to further diminish their conceptual understanding of how to take the third object and measure the first two objects to compare them. This lack understanding also affected their ability to correctly order three objects from shortest to longest. The mathematical reasoning was either a hit or miss with the students.…

    Gobstoppers Observation

    I absolutely loved observing the gobstoppers in water and how the colors created defined sections and eventually mixed in with the other colored gobstoppers. In this activity, the greatest breakthrough I had was our class discussion about accommodating the lesson for students who may have learning/behavior disabilities, vision or hearing impairments, or other forms of disabilities. A kindergarten physical science standard covers the topic of objects being sorted and described by their properties, such as color. Going into a kindergarten classroom this semester, I think the students would love observing and predicting what is going to happen with the colors and the gobstoppers themselves and would enjoy explaining what they see happening to…

    Ask students questions about the outcome, when two named materials are mixed together. For example: Some examples are cornstarch and water are mixed together to create a slime/glue, detergent and water can be mixed to make a dish washing liquid etc. The final class discussion and the worksheet from Appendix B. form the Summative Assessment as it shows students can put their understand of mixtures to practise. This can be factored when reflecting on/evaluating the effectiveness of the investigation: does it meet the “5 Steps of Investigation?” (Hackling, Rev. ed. 2005)…

    Introduction: You're a student at NFVMS sitting in your 8th-grade science class and you're on the verge of sleep until you're suddenly handed a mysterious vial that inside holds a white mixture. You’re told that you have to figure out what is in it using physical and chemical properties to help you! What is a physical and chemical property you may be asking. A physical property is something you can touch, feel, smell, hear, and see so you’re using your human senses. A chemical property is when the physical property has been changed and now you see gas being produced, temperature changes, and smell different odors.…

    Before the planning of the lesson begins the teaching assistant should know what the learning objectives for the lesson are so that they are able to offer strategies, ideas and materials to the teacher in order to make sure the pupils are able to achieve the learning objectives. It is important for the teaching assistant to make this contribution as it is their responsibility along with the teacher to support the school culture, ensure pupils are getting a good education and to promote the physical, social and emotional development of all pupils including those with special educational needs. A TA can offer their support by organising the learning experience by making sure pupils have all the resources they need and that they all work. This…

    Description of the activity: The activity involves a small scale simulation of oil spill clean-up and containment protocol including the use of booms, skimming, and other techniques. The simulation will be performed by filling plastic cups with water, adding oil to the water to simulate an oil spill, and then participants will be given the freedom to experiment with the optimal method for removing the oil from the water or stopping it from "contaminating" other areas by using provided materials like spoons and tamper evident bands from water bottles and milk jugs. For instance, a child might decide to remove the oil from the water by scooping it out with a spoon in which case a volunteer would explain how their method is similar to a real life technique called skimming; likewise, if the child decided to contain the spill by encircling it with a tamper evident band (or some other buoyant material like a rubber band), a volunteer could explain that the band is a metaphor for the use of booms to contain oil spills. If a child didn't want to experiment by themselves, the volunteer could show them how each material is similar to using a technique actually employed in oil spills.…

    The researcher proposes a three-year plan to revise the current Educators Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products (EQuIP) Rubric for Lessons and Units: Science, currently focused on practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concept. Revisions would be facilitated by teachers after participating in a summer research experience program aimed at highlighting science and engineering practices and NOS by participating in scientific research and reflective seminar. The revised rubric would incorporate the eight basic NOS understandings, identified in the NGSS, into the EQuIP Rubric. This would allow teachers to review lesson plans, identify appropriate revisions, and inform the development of instruction that addresses both science and engineering practices and…
