The learning cycle has been understood for decades and is accepted as a superior form of instruction over that of passive models of instruction; however, all forms of instruction have the potential to leave student misconceptions unanswered.
Scenario:
You have a class of 25 ninth-grade students in a general science class. You are asked to develop a learning activity for this class that utilizes the learning cycle and includes a formative assessment.
Task:
A. Create a learning activity for the given scenario on a science topic of your choice that implements the BSCS learning cycle model.
1. Explain how the learning activity addresses each step of the BSCS learning cycle from engagement to evaluation.
2. Predict potential student misconceptions about the topic.
a. Describe how a formative assessment could identify these misconceptions.
b. Explain what you could do to resolve these misconceptions.
3. Create a pre-test and post-test to demonstrate that scientific knowledge is gained and
Attached are the guidelines, state standards, and any forms to be used to help complete the assignment. You can use as many sources as needed.
Introduction:
Lesson plans with strong pedagogical backbone and alignment to national science standards are vital to student success. The Educators Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products (EQuIP) Rubric for science provides criteria by which to measure the alignment and overall quality of lessons and units with respect to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Requirements:
A. Evaluate the attached “Slime Lab Lesson Plan” using the attached “NGSS Lesson Rubric.”
B. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a
critical review essay from a journal article
