Science Lesson – Technology

Thoughtful educators are always looking for effective strategies to foster student learning. Using technology and asking engaging questions are great ways to help students connect to their prior knowledge, encourage exploration, and problem solve within the content area.

Use technology and questioning strategies used by professional educators as well as develop your own questions to be incorporated during lessons.

When observing and assisting with teaching two lessons, one science and one health/PE/nutrition (an integrated health and science lesson may count for either requirement). During this week, pay specific attention to the following:

* Technology that could be used by teachers to enhance instruction

* Technology that could be used by students to enhance engagement and learning

* Questioning strategies utilized during instruction and/or as formative assessment

prepare and implement three effective student questions for each observed lesson. The questions may be designed for the whole class, small group, or one-on-one to support the lesson objectives. The questions should stimulate students’ prior knowledge and encourage exploration and problem-solving within the content areas.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

In 250-words, reflect  on the lessons you observed, the questions you developed and implemented, and your additional experiences in the classes, describing the following:

* Technology used to enhance instruction of science/health content. If technology was not used, discuss how it could be integrated into the lesson/s.

* Questioning strategies used to enhance the learning of science/health content. If not implemented, discuss where and how they would have been effective.

* How the questions you developed stimulated students’ prior knowledge and encouraged exploration and problem-solving

* How you plan to apply what you learned to your future professional practice.
