ACTION PLAN THE CITY SCHOOLGULSHAN BOYS CAMPUSMS. TOOBA KHAN
LONG TERM GOAL • Adopting approaches of 21st century to enhance students scientific skills.
SHORT TERM GOAL • Enabling students to improve their scientific skills. • Enabling students to work in collaboration. • Enabling students to clear their basic concepts about science and scientific processes. • Enabling students to encourage their learning abilities to think critically about science. • Enabling students to apply iterative cycle.(plan,do,review and share)
TIMELINE Biology October November • April-May September Chemistry • Revision Physics
Level I: Knowledge • List the planets in our solar system • List 3-5 characteristics of each planet • List the characteristics of comets, meteorites, and asteroids
Level II: Comprehension • Explain in your own words the theories of Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton as they relate to the structure of our solar system. • Describe how most scientists believe the solar system first formed
Level III: Application • Classify these “mystery planets” as either Inner or Outer planets based on their characteristics. • Using your knowledge of mathematics, figure out how much you would weigh on each of the planets in our solar system.
Level IV: Analysis • Compare/contrast the photos of landforms on Earth and Mars. How might the features on Mars have formed? • Based on the data, what can you say about the relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun and its speed of revolution?
Level V: Evaluating • What were some sources of error in your experiment with craters? • Write an essay arguing for or against manned missions to Mars. Use research to back up your opinion.
Level VI: Creating • Design an experiment to investigate how the speed of a meteorite affects the size of a crater. • Construct a scale model of the solar system using materials from home. • Create a game that will teach young children about the solar system.
G.SCIENCE QUIZ • The rock cycle • 1.) What is a good title for this diagram? • a.) Different Kinds of Rock • b.) Deposition of Sediment • d.) The Rock Cycle
2.) According to the diagram, what rock groups can form from metamorphic rock? • a.) igneous rock and sedimentary rock • b.) sedimentary rock only • c.) magma and lava • d.) melting rock
3.) Which process occurs when sand particles settles out of the water or wind and deposit sediments? • a.) cementation • b.) foliation • c.) photosynthesis • d.) deposition
Resources • Internet • Word processing, multimedia. • Heinemann series book 3 • My tutor • Intel teach program getting started course manual
Conclusion: • By implementing my newly acquired 21st century approaches, students will be empowered and will appreciate and gain better knowledge of science
