Good Science Instruction • Effective Planning (with the end in mind) • Implement a routine of inquiry based, hands-on activities relevant to the objectives of the topic. • Develop Higher-Order Questioning Strategies using Explicit-Reflective instruction to enhance student thinking • Facilitate, encourage, and expect Higher Order Thinking (HOT) from your students • Encourage students to communicate verbally and in writing
Good Science Instruction (Cont……) • Discovering answers through systematic observations • Asking questions about our surroundings • Applying models to formulate solutions to questions • Learning to make systematic observations in order to formulate answers to events that occur in our surrounding Department of Mathematics and Science
What Should a Science Classroom Look Like? • Students engaged in inquiry • Students doing hands-on activities • Students thinking and writing critically • Students’ science work displayed • Infusion of literacy • Incorporation of Technology • Most importantly: Students doing science & communicating the outcomes in all grades (K-5)!
