Name the 6 Es
What is: Engage Explore Explain Elaborate Evaluation E-learning
100
This phase encourages students to assess their understanding and abilities and provides opportunities for teachers to assess student progress toward achieving the educational objectives.
What is Evaluation
100
The process of how science knowledge is constructed as well as the values and beliefs inherent to scientific knowledge or the development of scientific knowledge.
What is the Nature of Science
100
Children learn the scientific principles and processes to develop the foundation to become scientifically literate and making sound societal decisions by:
What is Engaging in inquiry activities
100
This color ends in urple
What is light-urple
200
During this E. Aspect, the experiences are provided to students with a common base of activities within which current concepts, processes, and skills are identified and conceptual change is facilitated. Students are using prior knowledge to generate new ideas, and some design and preliminary investigation takes place
What is Exploration
200
This phase is when Dr. Pellegrino asks the class to think about how rain is formed, she puts the class into groups and asks them to discuss how they think rain is formed, taking note of theories, ideas, assumptions, and vocabulary.
What is Engagement
200
A well-substantiated explanation based on systematic observation, data collection, and careful analysis of the data.
What is a Scientific theory
200
Children are systematically discouraged from learning science and mathematics because of their teachers'...
What is: Lack of Preparation, or in some cases, because of their teachers' disdain for science and mathematics.
200
The four jobs given to groups by Dr. Pellegrino during experiments
What are; recorder, materials, clean-up, and spokes person...I assume that this is a good model for us to adopt for our own classes when we teach science.
300
This phase is infused throughout the model to enhance the tech skills of the learners as they do things such as gather info. Engage in explorations, and explain and communicate their findings.
What is E-Learning
300
The students in Dr. Pellegrino's class log onto the NASA website in order to get real pictures of the moons surface. They then use what they've learned by dropping marbles into flour to measure the craters, and make educated guesses about the properties of the objects that collided with the moon.
What is ELABORATING through E-LEARNING
300
These are one of the most important strengths of science in that the entire scientific body of knowledge is subject to new empirical evidence or new ways of interpreting the existing data.
What are scientific flip-flops
300
A way of teaching and learning about science that reflects how science itself is performed by scientists on a daily bases
What is Inquiry
300
During the first experiment, what questions were asked by Dr. Pellegrino in order to EXPLAIN, EXTEND, and ELLABORATE?
What did you find out from this experiment about how rain is formed? Where do you think the raindrops come from in nature?
400
The phase that focuses on the students' attention on a particular aspect of their engagement and exploration experiences and provides opportunities to demonstrate their conceptual understanding, process skills, or behaviors. This phase also provides opportunities for teachers to directly introduce a concept, process, or skill. Correct facilitation of this phase will allow students to gain a deeper understanding.
What is Explanation
400
The use of short activities promotes the curiosity and elicits prior knowledge. The activity should make connections between past and present learning experiences, expose prior conceptions, and organize students thinking toward the learning outcomes of current activities.
What is Engagement
400
Science instruction should help children learn HOW science facts, theories, and laws are developed, both the processes and the content of the science will be important in your classroom: but THIS is what will produce enduring understandings, which is why it will be the most important.
What is the process
400
By learning the scientific principles and processes, children start to develop the foundation to become scientifically literate and make sound societal decisions. This " " is as critical to future understanding as a physical workout would be for an athlete.
What is Mental Workout
400
What question and activity did Dr. Pelligrino ask during our first "lab experiment" for the EVALUATION phase?
Write what you learned in your journal about how rain is formed. We are going to discuss evaporation, precipitation and condensation over the next few days. Bonus: Teacher hint: By starting with this inquiry activity, your students now have a foundation of knowledge that will help them understand new vocab. and make connections during the lessons.
500
In this phase the teacher challenges and extends student conceptual understanding and skills. Through new experiences, the students develop deeper and broader understanding, more information, and adequate skills. Students apply their understanding of the concept by conducting additional activities.
What is Elaboration
500
Dr. Pellegrino asks the students: "did you notice what happened when you placed the ice cube on top of the jar?"
What is Explanation - This question focused the students attention on a particular aspect of the activity and provided opportunities to demonstrate their conceptual understanding, process skills, or behaviors. It also provided an opportunity to introduce a concept, process, or skill
500
The DEFINITION: Your role will be to help children work through the pathway of identifying questions, exploring those questions so as to find ways to answer the questions, answering the questions, and sharing their answers with the class at large,
What is the scientific method as used in our elementary school classrooms.
500
by invoking interest in a certain concept through focused discussion, or reading a story having to do with the upcoming lesson, or asking open ended questions:
What is how we begin our inquiry based learning lessons. AKA "E"ngagement
500
A great website that could be used for the E-LEARNING phase of the "how is rain formed" Lab activity during our first class period...
What is WEATHER.com....I am sure there are MANY and I put this question in here to make you think of a great weather related website, there isn't really a wrong answer, so if you found a great site, then BOOKMARK IT! =)
