This ETP is a lesson series that would follow a field trip in which data is collected on ecological values. Students will use Microsoft Excel to organize and graph data collected by their class, previous classes, and scientists.
The goal of this laboratory activity is for students to analyze sample specimens from populations of stickleback fish looking at specific characteristics such as spine length and armor plating to interpret the conditions driving evolution.
This lab is an introduction to simple animals such as sponges, corals, and sea anemones. Live sea anemone samples will be available, and students will feed them to observe their movement and behavior. Defensive behaviors such as firing of nematocysts will also be directly observed.
My ETP is hands-on Science Unit (5 Lessons-All About Water ) that will help students develop a greater understanding, deeper knowledge and appreciation of water and its integral part of life on this planet.
Students will learn the concept of drawing flow charts to break down difficult lab procedures. Students will begin by using labs used in the iCLEM program to practice the skill of flow charts.
This ETP is designed to get students ready for inquiry based curriculum. Students will be required to base arguments on evidence provided in tables or graphs, by learning how to read them based on column headings, axis, headings, and best fit lines.
A new lesson is created enhancing students comprehension of the concepts of Chemistry with respect to formation of polymers with several applications. Problem solving and creativity using ChemDraw program and experiments are explored.
Often in the science classroom, I have students create and give a presentation that highlights what they learned about a topic.
Chemistry happens in the world around us, not just in a lab. Every time we cook or clean, it's chemistry in action. Chemists actually spend a great deal of time writing and reading science literature in order to communicate their results and ideas to one another.
