Week 4

-

 This week in discussion I learned about the 5e model of science instruction.  I can use this in my future teaching by helping me plan my lessons, and it can help me be organized. The 5e model is made up of engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate.  

Engage: 

Accesses the learners; prior knowledge and helps them, with a new concept through short activities that build on their prior knowledge. These activities should promote curiosity and help them make connections between past and present learning experiences.  

Explore: 

Students actively explore the new concepts through hands-on activities allowing them to make their own observations about the new concepts.  

Explain: 

This is the phase where students can ask questions based on their exploration, and the teacher can clarify these questions. This can be a time for students to share what they already know so the teacher can make sure the information is accurate.   

Elaborate: 

This is the phase that allows students to grow on what they just learned. This could include going through an experiment or working on a project that relates to the content. This allows students to practice their skills before evaluation.  

Evaluate: 

This is where teachers test their student's knowledge. It could be a formal or informal evaluation, however, it is important to test your student's understanding in some way after a new lesson.   



 
Teacher vs Student's Role for 5e 

Our class also got to see the caterpillars for the first time. I can't wait to see them grow. 
We also checked in on our fast plants! We only had growth on one side but they were so cute.

    Hi Maggie! This is a great blog post! I also talked about the 5E models in my blog post, as it is something knew that I have learned. I love that you added pictures of the caterpillars and your fast plant!

    Hi Maggie!
    I like how you mentioned how you can use what you learned and apply it to your future teaching by being organized and helping you plan lessons. I believe the 5E model is very helpful in planning lessons because it tells us our (teacher's) roles, but also what the students' roles should be.

    Hi Maggie! I liked exploring your chart of the teachers role and the students role in the 5E framework for science! You laid out all the main points well and can definitely be used for future reference!

    Hi Maggie! I think that being able to see how you can use this in your classroom is really important. I love how you understood each role of the 5E model and was able to explain it!

    Hi Maggie! You did an amazing job at explaining each part of the 5E model and how this model apply's to your future teaching!

What did you learn?            2. What was most helpful?           3. What do you need more information on?  5. What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?         I wasn't in the lab this week, but by looking at the PowerPoint, we were asked the question, "What is a rock?" We then looked over our Activitymania assignment. They discussed our assessment. They went over the dangers of comparison and went over some questions from the test. Then, they shifted to the layers of the earth, and we watched our videos about convection currents. They then did an investigation using a starburst, a torch, aluminum foil, and a knife/cheese grater. They created sedimentary...

We talked about the Goldfinch investigation and talked about how there is more flooding, which is destroying their food, so they are having to move. We then did an investigation of climate change. We had four different groups of two, and we all looked into five different articles. We looked for data to support that climate change is happening. We then thought of different questions from these articles and answered them. We also created...

 This week we continued our talk on matter. We came up with properties of matter, and said that color, density, shape, height, texture, odor, and weight/mass were all properties. We then did five experiments with different matter small vs big to see if they each float or sink, have the same volume, same mass, conduct electricity, and if they would be attracted to a magnet. We got to choose five pieces. My group chose a cork, aluminum foil, a candle, chalk, and a marble.   Sink or Float?:  We recorded that the chalk and marble of both sizes sank. Everything else floated. We did notice that the smaller chalk floated for a bit but then sank.  Same Volume?:  We recorded that the candles were the only one that had the same volume. Same Mass?:   We recorded that they all had different masses.   Conduct electricity?:   The saw that the aluminum foil big and small were conductors of electricity.  Magnetic?:  None of them were...
