1. Detailed description of public school partner’s use of lesson plan stages to organize instruction.
This science lesson Mrs.Coan started with asking students if they played any musical instruments. These questions served as an engaging strategy to direct students’ attention on the thinking about the sound and the ways the sound travels. One of the students shared that he was learning to play piano. So right away Mrs. Coan’s question was: “What do you think affects the sound that is coming out of the piano?” Another child shared that he knew how to play guitar. With the series of questions Mrs. Coan guided children to the fact that length and strength of the sound depended on the size of the instruments, vibration and strength we would be approaching the strings or keys. Next, she announced that they were about to evaluate the sound that was coming out from the two different tuning forks (big and small). After this, the teacher used the question to check the existing schema of the students and ask who could help her with the definition of hypotheses. Then, with the help of the students, she wrote down the hypothesis on the board about the length and strength of the sound generated by the big fork. So we can see here how visual strategy was incorporated into the lesson.
She divided children into 5 groups and presented each group with the set of two tuning forks. Mrs.Coan utilized the modeling strategy by demonstrating to the students how the experiment was supposed to be
This lesson was geared toward many levels of learning ability and a variety of learning styles. Mrs. Soglin modeled the learning objective with the pan balance using the visual aid with the scale and a variety of different objects to be weighed. Then she provided additional information using the chalkboard. She engaged with the class by having an open discussion allowing the students to build on each other’s knowledge of the subject matter. She allowed for students to model for the class. When students were working in groups and pairs the higher level students helped lower level students. She also provided challenging problems at the end of the activity for those students who were ready and
I give this movie a six out of five-star rating. How it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time is beyond me; I am still in disbelief that I was fully engaged for the entire two hours and twenty-six minutes. Although I had heard many great things about the novel, the film exceeded all of my expectations. The Natural teaches many valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment, karma, relationships, and staying young at heart.
The experiment consisted of three individuals. The individuals filled the roles of the authoritative role, the Teacher, and the Learner.
Students will arrange into their groups and the models will be passed out to the students by their group teacher so that they may begin testing.
One of the exercises Lissa had the class conduct was to close our eyes and listen to her playing a singing bowl. As she rolled the striker tool around the rim of the bowl, a light ringing sound was produced that eventually faded away slowly. As the sound fainted, Lissa asked us to raise our hands once
And both forms of entertainment of radio and television broadcast has much to do with sound behavior. And this video being heavily integrated with sound, an aspect of physics. To my belief, this video was design to persuade or to catch the interest of young Americans to be familiar or to pursue a life into STEM fields. To encourage students to learn math, science, physic, engineering. To change the world in the hearth of America.
Models are utilized by teachers to communicate important content to students, and to help students better understand the nature of science (Duit & Treagust, 2003). Any representation used as a teaching tool “should build on students’ prior knowledge of a phenomenon and ways of thinking about it, for example by taking into account the skills they possess for dealing with the concrete and abstract entities involved in analogical relationships” (Justi & Gilbert, 2002b, p.1274). Too often, this is a missing criterion for the representations used in a lesson. Visual representations can be chosen for a variety of reasons including availability or copyright, use of color or lack thereof, aesthetics, transferability to printed materials, etc. without ever considering whether the model used is tied to students’ previous knowledge. Models used without thoughtful consideration of the intended audience are weak teaching tools, and can lead to a variety of problems in the classroom (Justi & Gilbert, 1999a, 199b, 2002b; Johnstone, 1991, Talanquer, 2011, Taber, 2013). These problems occur because students who are learning aspects of a concept for the first time lack the ability to recognize or value the limited scope of use that is inherent with a teaching model (Taber, 2014). If the teacher, the expert in the room,
It is the first time I attended the Polysh’d Speakers meeting, I found it is so useful. When they first start I was a bit confused about what they will do because all their members are assigned for some specific works such as timing, recode grammar or pronunciation errors, evaluating, and so on. They told this month, May, is the mental health month so they choose topic relater to this area. The first speaker told about the important of breakfast, this speech is around 7 minutes in long. I learn some public speaking skills from the speaker in this 7 minute such as to get the audients involve by asking them questions that they will properly face or feel relate, need to have a good introduction of the topic to gain audient’s attention, to know
I. Plato, a Greek philosopher once said “I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.”
The pedagogies used within the lesson plan and sequence are direct instruction, problem solving and inquiry and explicit teaching. Direct instruction is used to introduce the concept of symmetry; students’ would have been briefly introduced to symmetry in year 3 but as far as the content in the lesson plan it will be fairly new to them. The use of direct instruction to introduce new ideas ensures that the knowledge acquired is accurate; it can then lead to discussion and questioning which draws out students’ prior knowledge and the teacher can build upon what students’ already know. This approach is
Nickel is element number 28 on the periodic table of elements. Nickel was isolated as an element in 1751. Nickel had a breakthrough during the 19th century where it was discovered that if you added nickel to steel you could potentially create very strong armor. It is believed that nickel originated from meteorites in outer space. The big breakthrough of refining nickel came in the 1890 due to Ludwig Mond’s carbonyl process to purify and extract nickel. Ludwig created this process after realizing the reaction between Carbon Monoxide and Nickel chemically eroded his pipes. Ludwig ended up creating Nickel Carbonyl which is a colorless liquid that boils at 43 degrees celsius. The important thing about Nickel Carbonyl is that you
rocks, sticks, and flowers probe their imagination. The sounds of nature are a unique learning experience
This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.
On October 30th, we had our sixth presentation of this course. We are getting close to the end of the course with two lectures left. The lecturer, this time, was Goucher’s computer music professor Samuel Burt, with Lisa Weiss helping him. According to his bio, among his title as a professor, Samuel Burt is a composer. He had a Bachelors of Music from the University of Georgia. Then, he received a Master of Music from Peabody Institute for composition and computer music. He is a member of the High Zero Foundation and has participated in the High Zero Festival. This foundation is a way of showcasing experimental and improvised music in Baltimore. He participated and performed in the Red Room series and the Worlds in Collusion at Artscape. To add to his repertoire, he builds and sells daxophones, which are wooden friction-based instruments. He also creates/designs his own electronic music software that we had the chance to experience for ourselves in his lecture.
“What the Photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once: the Photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated existentially,” Roland Barthes stated in his book Camera Lucida: Reflections of Photography. Photography is the key to capturing a moment in time that will not reoccur again. You can try, but it will not be that exact moment you once saw before. A camera is a very powerful tool. It allows the artist to use it to display and present their message they are trying to get across to their audience and artistic view. A photograph will keep time frozen and allow us the audience to re-experience whenever we want to. The reason I mention stopping time is because in the image named Carmen photographed by Richard Avedon he did just that. This photograph is of a woman jumping over a puddle. Richard Avedon stopped time and created this fashion and street image all in one, quite beautiful may I add. Many people can try to recreate this image but never will they get the exact leap.
