During this week you will take a practical look at planning, implementing, and assessing the science curriculum.
Chapter 11 addresses four major themes:
- planning the science lesson (inquiry);
- creating cooperative science learning groups;
- using technology to further instruction; and
- making science education as inclusive as possible.
1. Read and evaluate an assigned science lesson plan,
2. Brainstorm and design your own science lesson plan,
3. Discuss and peer review a lesson plan of one of your group members
4. Present a fragment to the class and then in the field.
It is important to understand what is going on in a lesson. It is a good idea to look over the assigned lesson plan and to evaluate and give feedback on someone's lesson plan to help that person improve the lesson plan. It is always a good idea to brainstorm and write down ideas before writing your own lesson plan. Brainstorming is an important key to success with lesson plan and with writing out a lesson plan. It is a good idea to have peer review of the lesson plan so that students get the feedback from their peers and go over the lesson with their peers. Peers can give good advice on how to fix something in a lesson and can help teach a peer something that peer may have not seen. Peer review can bring different perspective to someone's lesson plan and help that student improve their lesson plan. It is important to present you lesson plan to the class and to practice the lesson plan before teaching the lesson plan for the first time in the field. You want to know what you as the presenter are going to say and know how you are going to run the lesson. It is important as the teacher to be in control of the lesson while in the field. It is also our job to make sure the students are on task, listening to the lesson, and for the students to understand the lesson.
