Using the 7 E Model To Introduce Environmental Science Risks Benefits
Eliciting Prior Knowledge Administer Pre-test • Savefor future use (Grant) • Multiple Choice Questions
Eliciting Do Product Array walk-about • ~ 2-3 minutes • Choose a selection of items found on the table on the next slide
Hypothesis Generation What is the commonality shared by the products? • Write on card
and/or Elicit With Word Splash • Provide each participant with Word Splash words and lined paper • Allow ~5 minutes for generating a paragraph containing the words • Collect paragraphs and save for a re-do at the end of the Learning Experience (LE) • Participants will receive a ‘typical’ paragraph during the Evaluation period
Engagement Occurs when students participate in a problem based learning (PBL) experience using • Phthalates - Balancing Risks and Benefits PBL scenario • Individual and Team Record-Keeping • Brainstorming Strategy • Filling Out Records of Individual/Team Work - Facts and Questions Poster Paper • Teacher Chosen Readings (Homework)
Phthalates PBL Scenario: Balancing Risks and Benefits
Read PBL Script: ~ 5-7 minutes • Provide each participant with the PBL script • Assign roles (Narrator-Matt, Shanna Swan, Curwood) • Read script aloud as other participants follow along
Think-Share Brainstorming Strategy http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:Ig6lPwLDvT87zM:http://lbc.nimh.nih.gov/images/brain.jpg
Think-Share Filling Out Records of Individual/Team Work • Facts and Questions
Day 1 Culminates Teacher Chosen Readings (Homework)
Exploring Prepares students via: • A teacher intervention • Using Risks Assessment Power Point • A Media Blitz assignment • Phthalates Ban, Yes or No?
Explaining Begins with: • Articles Chosen For Research • Risks and Benefits Chart
Explaining Continues As students: • Research instructor-chosen Phthalate information from annotated bibliography • Prepare a Media Blitz Product • Complete group evaluations • Complete progress reports
Elaborating Is accomplished when: • Students present Their Media Blitz products
Evaluating Occurs when: • Audiences provide authentic assessment - Using student-generated evaluation tool • Post-tests are administered
