Here are some example that I obtained from my colleague in Taiwan.
The tasks that the teacher provided for his student are:

(1) What do you observe (at least two points)?
(2) Guess/ hypothesize the story of the event qualitatively and quantatively.
(3) Expand one of your observation/ hypothesis into a research study, i.e. setting up a topic, collecting data, analyzing and discussing the results.

I'm not really sure if the other people in this group are doing lesson plans but if you are I found a really cool website that has neat ideas to use for lesson plans. It has serveral ideas for different age groups too. I think that sharing things like this is what this weather section was created for but im a little confused on the whole assignment so I could be wrong. http://www.proteacher.org/c/105_Weather_Unit.html
ReplyDeleteThanks Samantha. I will check that website out. I am doing my lesson plan on precipitation. It is pretty easy to divide up into 5 days and there are some interesting activities you can do. I will pass along any websites I see that might help. Also, in the Sherrod library, there are actually textbooks and teachers manuals on the third floor that should have lesson plans and ideas. I haven't looked at them in detail yet, but they are on the shelves on the left as you go in to go back to the children's section.
