The ChewThe Criteria for Long Term Storage • We cannot recall what we have not stored! • Does this make sense? • Does this have meaning?
The Research Says… Generally the brain does poorly at continuous high level attention. In fact, genuine “external” attention can be sustained at a high and constant level for only a short time, generally ten minutes or less. Eric Jensen 10:2
Chunk & Chew with Science Content Let’s Practice… • Demonstrate Potential & Kinetic Energy • Reading Passage -Photosynthesis • Generalization & Inferences with Data
Potential and Kinetic Energy • Chunk - Video Clip • Chew - Create a cartoon strip to demonstrate potential & kinetic energy and incorporate the following words from the word bank. • Word Bank: • Potential • Kinetic • Friction • Conversion
Potential and Kinetic Energy • Chunk - Video Clip • Chew - Create a cartoon strip to demonstrate potential & kinetic energy and incorporate the following words from the word bank. • Word Bank: • Potential • Kinetic • Friction • Conversion
Photosynthesis • Chunk – Reading Passage / Graphic representation of the text • Chew – Round Table Summarization
Making Generalization • When we make a generalization, we compare the pieces of evidence at hand to see what they have in common. • Then we make a statement that is true for the pieces of evidence at hand and is also true for a broader array of instances. • A generalization is an instance of inductive inference.
Making Inferences • An inference is a reasonable guess based on information. • Making an inference is sometimes called “reading between the lines,” because the inference is not stated directly in the information you have. • The information leads you to an inference.
Based on today’s learning, what is… • Green – One thing you will start doing? • Yellow – One thing you will continue doing? • Red – One thing you will stop doing?
