The term that describes how it is hard to find the time to do everything that needs to be done in elementary school.
What is Time Pressure
100
interweaving of subjects as well as the interweaving of concepts and skills
What is integration?
100
science skills that have a place in reading
What are classifying, inferring, and hypothesizing
100
these are included as notations of the math associated with the work done in science
What are measurements, graphs, and calculations.
100
How is writing integrated into science in the lesson plan about leaves
Students write their observations and experiences about the leaves as a class or individually.
200
When subjects are integrated at the concept and process levels, children begin to understand how knowledge in one area is connected with knowledge in another area.
What is explosion of knowledge?
200
Name 3 of the 5 science processes that are applicable across the curriculum.
observing, classifying, inferring, hypothesizing, and various higher-order thinking skills
200
this method allows children to use science experiences to write a narrative.
What is a shared experience?
200
a science as well as a tool
What is math?
200
How were writing and art integrated into the bug investigation?
writing: students recorded observations about the bugs art: students had time to draw their bug
300
knowledge that can be delivered on request but that is not used spontaneously in solving real problems. e.g. student might be able to do subtraction problems but cannot figure differences in mileage on a map.
What is inert knowledge?
300
Ways to include hypothesis and classification in other subjects
Hypothesis: predicting in stories Classification: reading (fiction, non-fiction), writing (expository, argumentative), mathematics (whole, fraction, decimal numbers), social studies (wars, movements, migrations), art and music (themes, moods)
300
Although books and writing can make meaningful connections, they can not _________.
supplement an active, hands-on approach
300
connections between social studies and science
history, geography, civics (establishment of rules), government
300
When you integrate subjects with science, science should be the main focus. T/F
False- other subjects can be the main focus of lessons and science can supplement it.
400
The three R's
What are reading, writing, and arithmetic?
400
Questions you should ask before teaching an integrated lesson/unit.
Does the lesson or unit meet important goals in both science and other subjects? Does the integrated lesson or unit do a better job than you could do in a single-subject lesson or unit?
400
National Science Education Standard about writing states this.
students should be able to gather, store, retrieve, organize data, and communicate results to others
400
Activities that are not appropriate for for art or science because they do not allow students to express their feelings or what they have observed themselves.
cut and glue projects or pictures that just need to be colored.
400
How is science incorporated into the "Simple Machines in the Ancient World" Investigation?
measuring and comparing force, observations, measuring in metric units
500
A rigid schedule that only allows for a certain amount of time for each subject
What is fragmentation of the curriculum?
500
The answer you should give to the questions to ask yourself before teaching integrated lessons/units.
What is no?
500
These allow students to record their work through notes, graphic organizers and collect additional details about topics previously studied.
What are workbooks and scrapbooks?
500
Representing animal movements with their bodies is important for children because ______.
allow children to take another viewpoint and increase appreciation and understanding of other creatures.
500
what subject(s) and how were they integrated into the weather investigation?
math: graph, calculate averages technology: look up weather information in other places language arts: look up clouds in a reference book arts/writing: students express what they see
